“OH-MY-GOD” – these short words were enough to know who was about to appear on the screen. Maggie Wheeler played the unforgettable role of Janice Litman, whose voice and laughter were listed by many viewers as the worst noises in history, along with the scratching of fingernails on a chalkboard and the rustling of Styrofoam.
Maggie Wheeler portrayed Janice in Friends. She was only supposed to appear in one episode
Wheeler did a great job as Chandler Bing’s cringe (embarrassing) girlfriend, with whom he couldn’t part for a long time. The girl returned like a boomerang, and her sayings became one of the many running jokes (repeated jokes) in the series.
The actress was initially only supposed to appear in one episode of the series, but the production sensed a lot of potential in the character and Wheeler herself. The writers expanded her story and added more scenes at various stages of the series.
Many claim that Wheeler’s performance in “” was her life role. Although the actress appeared as a guest in many productions such as “Californication”, “The X-Files” or “How I Met Your Mother”, and in the series “Everybody Loves Raymond” she played Lindy, Debra’s friend. However, it was the incarnation of Janice that brought her the greatest popularity and sympathy of the viewers.
In addition to her characteristic voice, the actress stood out on the set of “Friends” also with her style. She did not shy away from kitschy outfits, large collars or animal motifs. Her long curly hair always complemented the look.
It’s been almost 40 years since Wheeler’s screen debut. Today, the actress mainly deals with voice acting in productions. The 61-year-old has an official Instagram profile, where we can see that she has nothing to do with Janice in the series.
The actress is difficult to recognize in the latest photos. Her long hair falls freely over her shoulders, showing no signs of curling or backcombing. Wheeler privately dresses in subdued colors and elegant cuts. With dark glasses on her face, she can remain completely anonymous.
