![]() ![]() When she died by suicide at 39 in November 1999, an episode of “Friends” was dedicated to her. My father’s younger sister Gail was a comedy division manager at NBC, where she worked with the casts of “Friends,” “Will and Grace,” “Blossom” and other shows. What if a real-life conversation didn’t measure up? Was it worth the risk? As strange as it sounds, there was a lot at stake. In my head, David Schwimmer always said exactly the right thing. It wasn’t until I found myself there several weeks later that the panic set in. Without giving it enough thought, I registered for the conference and booked my flight from Boston to New York. When I found out he was going to be speaking at a conference I could plausibly convince my boss to send me to, I wondered if this might finally be my chance to have that conversation in real life. I had been having a conversation in my head with David Schwimmer, who played Ross on the TV show “Friends,” for more than 10 years. ![]()
