An actress who guest starred on the beloved sitcom Friends looks very different almost 30 years on from her unforgettable role.
When you think of Friends, there's probably a few iconic plotlines that come to mind.
"I got off the plane", will definitely be one of them. So will 'trifle'.
But perhaps the most legendary of all is "we were on a break!"

While it's easy to think of Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) and Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) as the two characters at the centre of the on-again off-again debate, there was also another very key figure.
This figure is none other than Canadian actress Angela Featherstone, who played Chloe - the woman who slept with Ross when he thought it would be alright to do so as he was 'on a break'.
Very contentious, indeed.
In the series, Chloe worked at a Manhattan copy store, and she is famed for having her eyes on all of the Friends' men.
Her storyline began with her asking out both Chandler and Joey - and the two went round in circles considering how they'd handle a threesome.
But after their departure, Chloe went on to sleep with Ross.
Ross then woke up the next morning to hear a voicemail from Rachel explaining that she wanted to get their relationship back on track.
Rachel then, of course, finds out about Chloe and the huge debacle unfolds.
Rachel thinks Ross cheated, while Ross thinks it wasn't cheating as they were in a grey area.
The character of Chloe appeared in just two episodes - The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break, and The One With The Morning After.
Despite her short-lived screen time, she has gone down as an unforgettable part of the Friends legacy.
While part of Friends, Featherstone rocked a short brown bob - it was very nineties.
However, in recent years, the 59-year-old has taken on a very different look indeed.
Snaps from her Instagram reveal that she has opted for a range of shades including icy blonde and, most recently, ginger.
Speaking to the Radio Times in 2022, she said of working on Friends: "I think I worked two weeks on that show in like, 1997 or something and it’s lasted a lifetime.
"Actually, I ran into David Schwimmer at a comedy festival years later and he told me that they kept talking about the character. So, for me, it was two weeks’ work and it was lovely and I had lots of fun, new experiences."
She continued: "But I was done after two weeks – but I guess they kept writing about Chloe for a long time after, so she lived on a lot longer than I actually did [on the series]."
