Fans may be closer to having a "Romy and Michele day."
It’s been almost 30 years since the iconic duo Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino graced the screen in “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” — and now Kudrow is giving fans a having a “Romy and Michele day.”
While making an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on Tuesday, Kudrow discussed the origins of the film and the potential for a sequel.
During the segment, Barrymore gushed that the movie was one of her “favorite” films — “so much more than a film” — and that she quotes it “every day of my life.”
Barrymore then asked Kudrow if it was true that “Romy and Michele” hadn’t originally been conceived as a movie. Kudrow explained that the two started out as minor characters in a play in Los Angeles written by Robin Schiff, who would go on to write the film.
The “Friends” alum went on to say that she and Sorvino were on stage for a total of “seven minutes,” and that it was her “first audition ever.” There was also a “Romy and Michele” TV pilot, but it wasn’t good, Kudrow admitted.
