Other Hollywood personalities reacted to the "Friends" star's passing, including friend, Gwyneth Paltrow, who shared her favorite memory from 1993 at the Williamstown Theater Festival where they performed together in summer plays.
"We drove out to swim in creeks, had beers in the local college bar, kissed in a field of long grass," she recalled.
"It was a magical summer. He had shot the pilot of Friends but it had not aired yet. He was nervous, hoping his big break was just around the corner. It was. We stayed friends for a while until we drifted apart, but I was always happy to see him when I did."

"Matthew and I became really good friends and we were really more like brothers for a long time. We drank a lot together, we laughed a lot together, we were there for each other in the early days of our career," Azaria said.
