From her "Smelly Cat" performances to her hilarious one-liners to her sweet, surprising advice, there are more than a few memorable Phoebe moments from over the years. Who could forget that time she thought "Tiny Dancer" was actually about Tony Danza, or the time she absolutely freaked out over Ross and his ridiculously white teeth? There's something so hopeful about the character, and after the show wrapped, Kudrow said [1], "Phoebe was very far from who I was as a person, but part of her definitely rubbed off on me — inspired me to be more optimistic."
