Lisa Kudrow, known for her role on the beloved sitcom *Friends*, recently reflected on her experiences at Warner Bros. She emphasized the importance of maintaining the studio’s authenticity and charm. In an interview with *Architectural Digest*, Kudrow stated, “It’s hard for me to tell if Warner Bros. is just special to me, or if it’s special to the whole city or industry. I think it is.”
Preserving History at the Burbank Studio Lot
Kudrow urged the new owners of Warner Bros. to preserve the studio lot just as it is. Her sentiments are rooted in her recent work, as she filmed the third and final season of *The Comeback* on-site. “Whoever buys it, you don’t need to change anything. It works, it works great,” she remarked, showcasing her emotional connection to the location.
- Kudrow’s filming memories include significant moments from *Friends*.
- She is concerned about the potential changes with new ownership.
- The actress specifically mentioned the need to keep “Jack Warner’s roses” intact.
Context of the Warner Bros. Ownership Transition
The urgency of Kudrow’s appeal is heightened by current events in the entertainment industry.

Despite opposition from other executives, such as David Ellison of Paramount Skydance, the merger is believed to be on track.
Kudrow’s nostalgic journey serves as a reminder of the rich legacy of Warner Bros. and the hope that it will remain a cherished part of Hollywood’s fabric as it faces a new chapter under different leadership.
