Key Points

Los Angeles, March 23. Hollywood actress Lisa Kudrow has shared that she has mixed feelings about the resurgence of 1990s nostalgia.
The actress, 62, made the remark as she reflected on her time on Friends while promoting her latest project, reports ‘Female First UK’.
She recently attended the premiere of ‘The Comeback’ season three at SXSW, where she discussed renewed interest in the decade that helped define her career.
Lisa told ‘People’ magazine, “Oh, well, the first part, that younger people are interested, I mean it happens every 20 to 30 years anyway, so yeah, it's time. But it also reminds me of the misinterpretation or the interpretation of history, it's really, it's not reliable reporting and I think should remind us unless you were there, you don't, you don't really know”.
