Lisa Kudrow: ‘OK, so I’ve gotten older — excuse me for not dying’
Lisa Kudrow, 62, will always be Phoebe, but now, for many, she’s also Valerie Cherish, the main character on The Comeback (HBO Max), a series created by and starring herself that brings to life a mature actress attempting a return to the entertainment industry by putting on a brave face despite all kinds of humiliation. Its first season in 2005 was not a huge hit, but its slightly-pathetic-yet-endearing has-been female lead, who attempts to resuscitate her career with a reality show, won over discerning tastes.
