Valerie Bertinelli turned down chance to be on Friends
“When Friends called I just couldn’t see myself doing it. I thought, ‘No, I can’t stand next to those three beautiful women; I’ll just look like a tub of lard.’”
Actress Valerie Bertinelli turned down the chance to be part of the Friends cast because she feared she was too fat.
I wonder who they wanted her to play? Monica?

I am going to assume that Monica was out of the question since she said in her quote “No, I can’t stand next to those three beautiful women…”. Obviously Monice (Courtney Cox) was already playing Monica and not going anywhere.

Probably just a guest star. They had a lot of famous folks on for an episode or two.

I don’t think they wanted her to play one of the 3 leading characters because she said ‘No, I can’t stand next to those three beautiful women;(…)”
Probably a guest or a minor character.

She was hilarious on Oprah. Very blunt, but I liked her. Very real.

Thank God for that! Who wants her on Friends? Ugh. That voice. Ugh, that personality.
