Lisa Kudrow's College Major Might Surprise You

Posted by Tandra Barner on Saturday, June 8, 2024

Vassar College is where Kudrow studied biology, and she moved back to California after earning her degree to assist her father in his research, as he specialized in studying headaches. However, she had a connection to a comedian via her brother. He was friends with Jon Lovitz of "Saturday Night Live" fame and urged Kudrow to start performing, according to Biography. So she did, while simultaneously continuing to help her father with his biological research.

Stints with two improv troupes, The Groundlings and Unexpected Company, helped her hone her comedic skills, and she finally made it big with NBC's Thursday night lineup and the Buffay Twins (via Biography).

In May of 2021, Kudrow watched the circle of college life come around again when her son, Julian, graduated from the University of Southern California. However, he did not study biology like his mom. That doesn't mean he won't follow in her footsteps, as he is an actor and filmmaker in his own right, according to E! Online.
