When Geist, 46, asked why theScreamactress couldn’t remember filming one of the most iconic shows in the history of television, her reasoning was simple: she has a bad memory.

“It’s really basic,” she said. “I don’t remember any trauma in my childhood, but I have, like, three memories. I don’t know. I don’t know why.”

And although Cox’s recollection of filmingFriendsis somewhat fuzzy, theEmmy-nominated producerrecognizes the impactFriendshas had on past generations and generations yet to come.

“It doesn’t matter what generation is watching it. It holds up. I think the comedy is relevant,” she explained. “People can relate to every character. I don’t care how big the cell phone is. The computer you can’t lift. Life is that way.”

Cox currently stars in the new horror-comedy series,Shining Vale, which premiered on Starz on Sunday.
