Summary
I DON'T know the real me," muses Lisa Kudrow. "I'm kind of reserved, I think." Although she's clearly reluctant to talk too deeply about herself, it's true to say that whoever she really is, Lisa is certainly funny, blessed with - according to the director of her latest film Richard LaGravenese anyway - perfect comic timing.
Post-Friends, she's popped up in small but memorable film roles, like her latest role as Denise, the quirky pal of Hilary Swank's Holly in the big-screen adaptation of Irish author Cecelia Ahern's chick-lit novel, PS I Love You. "It was Hilary Swank and then Ireland which attracted me," says Lisa, who was keen to film on location. "I'd been to Ireland earlier in the year and really fell in love with it." The film follows Holly, who is in mourning for her happy-go-lucky husband Gerry (Gerard Butler), who died of a brain tumour. Her grief is interrupted by the arrival of letters from Gerry, each with a different request, which he intended her to receive following his death. "When I read the script, I thought it was cruel, not romantic," says Lisa. "In that situation it's not very healthy because you can't really move on with your life. But then by the end you can see that wasn't really his intention. His intention was that she remember who she was when he met her." In the meantime, Holly is faced with the prospect of finding love again with barman Daniel (Harry Connick Jr), while Denise desperately and sometimes tactlessly tries to find a man of her own.See the full content of this document
