INFAMOUS LAUGH
Her role was as the on-and-off girlfriend of Chandler Bing, played by actor Matthew Perry, who was the co-creator, co-writer, executive producer, and star of the sitcom "Mr. Sunshine."
Even though she was never officially considered a part of the main cast, she still gained a lot of fans. It's hard to forget her signature nasal tone and infamous laugh.
Maggie added that she has been on a roller coaster as an actress throughout her whole career.
OTHER NOTABLE WORKS
According to Nicki Swift, Maggie earned 70 on-screen credits on "Friends." Her more notable works throughout the '90s and early 2000s are "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Ellen," and "The Parent Trap."
Maggie, who was born and raised in New York City, also appeared on shows like "Will & Grace," "Californication," "Maron," and "Holiday Hostage."
In a 2016 interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the acclaimed actress talked about the longevity of her career.
