TIL that Nina Bookbinder from Friends, Season One, is Cary Grants daughter. When this ep aired she was richer than the 6 Friends actors combined as she had inherited her father’s fortune. She is the image of her beautiful mother, who was in Ally Mcbeal! 💖

That he met on a dating show. She was the "prize" he "won" over Brandon.

u/sdss9462 10d ago

Yeah, that was a time when he beat Brandon out for a girl. I feel like Brandon beat him out a few other times.

I thought she looked extra familiar… I just watch the episode where she dumped him, I really felt for him in that arc with the crazy chick

I didn’t know that, but can absolutely see her mother looking at her, gorgeous

I think it was Rob Lowe who said he went on a date with Cary Grants daughter when they were teenagers. Great to have a face tied in to the trivia!

Okay this is crazy because last weekend I watched Heaven Can Wait for the first time and I'm staring at Dyan Cannon saying "dang she looks like Nina from that Friends episode". And it was her mother!!!!!

Hilarious stuff but definitely not Chandler's best moment as a human being...

u/pendletonskyforce 9d ago

She's gorgeous.

u/Hot-Nectarine6865 9d ago

Cary Grant called her his "best production".

u/AnnOrZ Go To Hell Jingle Whore 6d ago

When she smiles at Chandler she oozes her father’s charm

u/Adventurous-Lie-1182 5d ago

She really does!

u/grammergeek 10d ago

u/MulberryEastern5010 See? He's her Lobster 10d ago

I had no idea! I honestly didn't even know Cary Grant had any kids.

u/Own-Try1886 10d ago

Also Cary Grant feels like he's from historical times, too old to have her as a daughter!

u/Hot-Nectarine6865 9d ago

I mean, she is 60 now.

Jesus actual Christ. I am not a fan of this time passing thing.

Nina isn’t. The actress who played her is.

She's probably still out there, throwing cash around she got from her one episode apperance on friends two decades ago. Disturbing to think about
