Romy And Michele 2: Lisa Kudrow Responds To Potential Sequel
Lisa Kudrow responds to the potential for a Romy & Michele's High School Reunion sequel. Kudrow starred as Michele in the 1997 comedy that co-starred Mira Sorvino as Romy, both starring as two dim-witted, but good-natured best friends who create an elaborate lie to impress their classmates at their 10-year high school reunion. The film was directed by David Mirkin (Heartbreakers) and co-starred Janeane Garofalo, Alan Cumming, Camryn Manheim, and Justin Theroux. The film was a modest hit that has since gained notoriety as a cult classic of the '90s.
Kudrow starred in the film while in the midst of her run on the popular sitcom Friends, which kept her busy through 2004. The actress continued to star in a long string of comedies, from features to TV shows, including films like Analyze This, Happy Endings, Easy A, The Girl On The Train, and Neighbors, while appearing in shows like Scandal, Web Therapy, The Comeback, Bojack Horseman, and Space Force. Sorvino won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1996 for her role in Mighty Aphrodite and is known for her roles in The Replacement Killers, Falling Skies, American Crime Story, and Shining Vale.
