This video features a clip from Who Do You Think You Are in which Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from Friends) traces her Jewish heritage back to Eastern Europe.
Who Do You Think You Are is a fascinating show which follows celebrities as they trace their family histories back into the past. The more interested you are in the celebrity the more interesting the show is.
Some of the celebs that have appeared on Who Do You Think You Are haven’t discovered much of intrigue, while others (Kudrow included) have uncovered fascinating pasts they knew little about.
Kudrow gets genuinely upset as the story of how her great-grandmother died, cruelly killed by the Nazis during World War II, is recounted to her.
Other celebs appearing on the new season of the show include Steve Buscemi, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lionel Richie, and Vanessa Williams.
