Little-Known Details About the Hit Show Friends

The Character of Phoebe's Twin Ursula Originated From a Different Show

Phoebe's twin sister became a recurring character on the show, bringing a whole new set of challenges for her bohemian sister. Ursula was so iconic that she even had a role on another show, Mad About You , where her character actually originated. In Mad About You , Kudrow played the part of the ditzy waitress Ursula Pamela Buffay, who was slightly less of an antagonist than we were used to seeing. The writers at Friends loved Ursula's character so much that they brought her over into their own show and further developed her character from there.
