Gabrielle Union played the love interest of ROSS and JOEY on “FRIENDS” in the early 90s and that launched her career as Must See TV.

“When I took that part,” she says, “a show I was on, ‘City of Angels,’ on another large network, had just been canceled on Monday. I started work on ‘Friends’ on Thursday. I just wanted to be sure my Visa bill got paid. I didn’t set out to be the Rosa Parks of Must-See TV.”

Gaby and Coach Lubbock would not go gently into that good night.
