Parker Posey Tells Lisa Kudrow to Star in ‘The White Lotus’ Season 4 as They Bond Over Sitcom Struggles and Why Phoebe on ‘Friends’ Was ‘A Lot of Work’


Lisa Kudrow and Parker Posey join Variety's 'Actors on Actors' to discuss finding the best work of their career later in life.

Back then, Posey was establishing a reputation as a burgeoning legend of independent film who would soon enough cross over in projects like “You’ve Got Mail” and “Scream 3,” while Kudrow was already a superstar thanks to her role as the quirky Phoebe Buffay on “Friends.” Both have experienced cult TV fame in the years since — Posey as Jack’s nemesis on “Will & Grace,” Kudrow as a washed-up actress-turned-reality star on “The Comeback” — and both put their stamp on projects this past season. Posey drawled her way through the role of wealthy matriarch Victoria Ratliff on the HBO franchise “The White Lotus,” while Kudrow delivered a sensitive, painful performance as Lydia Morgan, a grieving mother who believes her late son communicates with her through flickering lights on Netflix’s real estate thriller “No Good Deed.”
