Page "Friends" Paragraph 6

* Lisa Kudrow portrays Phoebe Buffay, an eccentric masseuse and self-taught musician.

Phoebe lived in uptown New York until the age of 12 when her mother killed herself and she took to the streets.

Phoebe is ditsy but street smart and writes and sings ( badly ) her own quirky songs, accompanying herself on the guitar.

She has an " evil " identical twin named Ursula who shares Phoebe ’ s quirkiness but unlike Phoebe seems to be cruel and uncaring.

Phoebe is childlike and innocent in disposition.

Phoebe tends to use her past misfortunes such as her mother ’ s suicide as sympathy ploys.

In the last season, she marries Mike Hannigan played by Paul Rudd.
