Phoebe's optimism rubbed off on me, says Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow is grateful to her 'Friends' character Phoebe Buffay for showing her how to have fun.

The 47-year-old actress had nothing in common with the kooky masseuse she portrayed in the sitcom for 10 years but says she will always be grateful to Phoebe for making her more "optimistic" as a person.
