(I never watched friends, so I don't know the girls name) - but I just watched Close Encounters and they really look similar.
shareHer name is Phoebe Buffay and Teri Garr played her mother in the show Friends. It's hard to believe you didn't know that, since it's on her resume right here on IMDB.
shareI wasn't aware of that, hah! I thought they looked alike.
We're watching Tootsie now, and she did resemble Lisa Kudrow from Friends.
"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
I always assumed Kudrow got her chops from Garr. Don't know, just guessing, but I've always noticed a resemblance. I assumed they were going to have more time together in Kabluey, since Garr's appearance in that movie was a plot non-sequitur, pretty much isolated from the other characters or the story. I assume they rewrote the script to accomdate Teri's stroke. Anybody know?
shareI caught the episode of Friends, where Teri played Lisa's mom. I always thought that it was the perfect casting coup.. They are both so similar
shareshe's much hotter than kudrow.

Teri Garr had a small part in Kabluey, a 2006 movie that Lisa Kudrow starred in. Garr had a very small part - blink and you would have just about missed her. But yeah, there she was. (her two scenes in Kabluey didn't involve Kudrow, though). And, it looks like Kabluey was Garr's last appearance in a film. I don't know if she's officially retired, but she's done nothing since.
