Little-Known Details About the Hit Show Friends

Reese Witherspoon Hated Performing in Front of a Crowd

The audience always loved it when Hollywood actors and actresses made guest appearances on the show. However, it's easy to overlook the fact that the six famous Friends stars were exceptionally skilled at performing in front of a live studio audience. Not all celebrity guests could handle the stress of acting in front of a large, unfamiliar crowd. In the case of Reese Witherspoon, who played Rachel's sister Jill, she found the experience so difficult that she declined to film additional episodes. Her character was supposed to return in later seasons, but Witherspoon turned down the offers. She simply couldn't handle the idea of having to perform in front of a live audience again.
