Her first magazine cover in 1996 was a significant moment for her, as it was a dream come true that seemed out of reach. She reminisced about the unique hairstyle she had for the shoot and how it marked the beginning of her “hair legacy.” While initially feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera, having the first shoot at her house made it easier for her to transition into the modeling world. The feeling of holding the actual magazine in her hands was surreal and incredibly cool for her.
In the beginning: “My first magazine cover was back in 1996. It was a huge moment for me, something I had never expected to happen. I can still vividly recall the excitement and newness of it all. My hair was short and had a styled, wet look on that particular day. Looking back, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride in my hair legacy,” she reminisced.

Reflecting on the ’90s brings about a wave of nostalgia for me. It was a simpler time, where there seemed to be a greater sense of safety in the world. We weren’t bombarded with information and negativity constantly like we are today. There was a lightness to it all, with more opportunities for human connection.
Back then, places like Fred Segal on Melrose were still vibrant, and I can’t help but smile when I think about those iconic Maharishi pants from the ’90s. I had so many pairs, including a stunning orange one with intricate embroidery of a dragon. I wish I had held onto more of them!
My confidence truly started to bloom during my time on Friends. It was like a trust exercise being part of that show, with a strong support system that lifted us all up. I miss the pure joy of having a job I loved, surrounded by people I adored and deeply respected. These days, I find myself feeling incredibly nostalgic. Even something as simple as Fred Segal can trigger those warm feelings. It’s funny how certain memories stick with you.
Looking back, I realize I rocked some truly epic looks. It’s amusing to be reminded of the different phases I went through in terms of fashion. Being in the public eye means being documented throughout your life, but I see it as a mix of good and bad. And let’s not forget the red carpet experience – the best part is always the relief of leaving it behind after the whirlwind entrance!
In the past, she mentioned that her confidence grew during her time on Friends. Being part of the show was like a trust exercise, where everyone supported each other. She added that she misses many things about that experience.
Impressive work: Her recent success came from the Netflix movie Murder Mystery alongside Adam Sandler, proving to be quite a hit.
Reflecting on her journey through life, she shared, “In your 20s, it feels like you’re on a quest to an unknown destination, but as time speeds by, you realize you may never truly reach it. Now that I’m older, I appreciate living in the moment more. I want to slow down and savor every experience, like watching roses bloom. Speaking of which, I actually have roses and took a moment this morning to enjoy their scent.”
Her current aspirations lean towards seeking peace and creative fulfillment. Despite the challenges, she feels a sense of pride in her latest project, The Morning Show, acknowledging it as one of her toughest yet most rewarding endeavors. By delving into unexplored depths of emotion, she rekindled her passion and purpose for her craft.
Having reached a point of self-discovery and creative maturity, she now feels confident in her abilities. Previously reliant on external validation, she now takes full ownership of her creative journey, leading to a profound sense of fulfillment.
