Judy Loves Rachel
Christina Pickles, who played Judy Geller, has much praise for Jennifer Aniston. She shared: “I knew [she] would be a huge success from the moment I saw her in rehearsals. But I didn’t know that the show would be. I’ve done so many pilots I thought were good that didn’t work, and so many that I thought were bad that did work. I just knew I was witnessing a really special actor at work.”
Carol Was Really Pregnant
When Jane Sibbett, who played Carol, was offered the role, she was a bit concerned. She shared: “I got a phone call from my agent, saying they wanted to offer me one of the lead roles. I said to my agent: ‘That’s great, but you told them I was pregnant, right?’ My agent said: ‘God, no! We’re not going to tell them that.’ I insisted. Because I knew this show was going to go [and get picked up by the network], for sure.”
