Ross’s first “contact” since “Friends” with the powerful American entertainment industry was due to his mother, Arlene Coleman-Schwimmer, who was a successful lawyer who worked with the Hollywood elite.

David Schwimmer in a podcast interview “Origins with Cush Jumbo” he said his mother was “a big, powerful divorce lawyer” and even represented the legendary star Elizabeth Taylor. She explained that her office “was very successful” and represented studio heads and their wives. However, her dream was “to be Elizabeth Taylor”.

“She wanted to be an actress, but her father forbade it. So he became a lawyer and then ended up representing Elizabeth Taylor. And because she did a very good job, the actress gave her a personal gift, a necklace from her collection”added the actor.

Taylor, who died in 2011 of heart failure, was married eight times to seven different men, People reports. Schwimmer did not specify which of the divorces his mother represented the actress in, but he did add about her.

“You don’t go easy on her. But on the other hand, he is a really warm, generous and happy person. He loves the arts and never forgets someone’s birthday or anniversary.”
