Marta Kauffman Was Told She Wasn’t a Good Writer
Marta Kauffman attended Marple Newtown High School in Broomall, Pennsylvania. After she found success with Friends, she was asked to come back and deliver a speech in front of the graduating class. She accepted, but she didn’t plan on giving a normal, inspirational speech. Instead, she came back and berated the school system for telling her that she was a bad writer.
She was not asked back, not only because she embarrassed the administrators, but because she is capable of writing compelling characters, as seen in both Friends and Grace and Frankie, and therefore the school was wrong.
