Jennifer Coolidge opened up about her one-time role on Friends' final season. She played an obnoxious former acquaintance of Phoebe and Monica's named Amanda Buffamonteezi. As the actor settled into her quirky role, she put on a British accent and recited some unusual lines, like "touch my abs" and "smell my neck." One would think that the character would be nothing but fun for a hilarious actor like Coolidge. However, that was apparently not the case.

Coolidge brought all her comedic chops to the table. However, the set environment was still intimidating for her. "I have to say, I was kind of intimidated, even though I knew Lisa [Kudrow] because she was in a comedy group," she told the U.K.'s Metro. "But I didn't know the rest of them and I was very intimidated because they were all so attractive and had it going on." She also highlighted the "glamorous set," sharing, "I have to say, it didn't feel like a sitcom. It really did feel like a movie set. Everyone had a very good looking entourage." 

In addition to trying to break into a well-established clique while taking in such a flashy set, Coolidge also apparently had to deal with her ideas being shot down. She told Metro, "Sometimes I come in and throw some lines and they come up and say, 'You know Jennifer, we're just going to stick to the script.'" She added, "I don't think they wanted my input and I could really feel that ... So I didn't have the guts [to push]."
