Remember Morgan Fairchild? The actress who played the iconic role of Nora Bing, Chandler’s mom on the legendary sitcom Friends? Well, she recently opened up about her experience on the show in an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly. And let me tell you, her story is as fascinating as the show itself.
An Unforgettable Experience
When asked about her time on Friends, Morgan couldn’t help but gush about how much fun she had. “They always gave us such great writing and such great lines,” she said. “I absolutely loved being part of that. You know, it was one of those shows where you just knew you were working on something special.” Morgan went on to explain that when she was first offered the role of Chandler’s mom, some of her actress friends warned her against taking it. “They said, ‘Oh, you’re too young to play that guy’s mother.’ But I thought, you know what? At some point, you’ve got to make that transition from playing the girlfriend to playing the mom. So I said yes, and I’m so glad I did.”
Guest Stars Deserve Great Writing Too
One of the things Morgan cherished most about her time on Friends was the quality of the scripts. “Even as a guest star, they never gave me just any old lines to say. They really worked hard to make sure every character, whether it was a parent or a date, had something meaningful to contribute,” she explained. “It wasn’t just about the main characters. Everyone felt important, and that’s what made the show so special. You could tell the writers cared about every single person who stepped onto that set.”

Morgan appeared on Friends in 1995, 1998, and again in 2001. Even years after her last appearance, she still occasionally stumbles upon reruns of the show while flipping through channels. “Every now and then, I’ll catch an episode and think, ‘Hey, this is one I was in!’” she laughed. “But you know, the cast was incredible. They had such great chemistry, and it really showed on screen. It’s no wonder the show became such a cultural phenomenon.”
