Kudrow is waiting to hear if 'Comeback' will continue

After the hit series "Friends," Lisa Kudrow has to sweat the TV business.

The 41-year-old actress, who played Phoebe Buffay on the NBC comedy, is still waiting to hear whether her new show, HBO's "The Comeback," will be renewed.

"I don't know what the criteria are for HBO right now," she told the San Francisco Chronicle. "They usually don't say anything for a little while. I'm hoping to hear soon."

Kudrow, who plays a washed-up TV star hanging on to relevance in the HBO series, has raced to complete the last of the 13 episodes.

In her latest movie, "Happy Endings," Kudrow plays a woman who gave up her baby for adoption and, years later, is approached by a crazed documentary filmmaker who claims to know her son's whereabouts and wants to film the reunion.

"I don't care about the big box office and I get to do things that come from me more," she said. "If I only ever do 'Happy Endings' and movies like that, that's fine. It's really fulfilling."
