'It never crossed my mind that I was taking a role from someone,' said Turner, who played Helena Handbasket, Chandler Bing's parent, on 'Friends' back in 2001 (via toofab)
"How they approached with me with it, was 'would you like to be the first woman playing a man playing a woman?'" she recalled."I said yes, because there weren't many drag/trans people on television at the time.", Turner starred in three episodes of"Friends." In those episodes, the character was referred to as Chandler's"father," Charles Bing, while her drag name was Helena Handbasket.
However, last year,"Friends" co-creator, Marta Kauffman, said Helena was, in fact, trans, and admitted that it was a"mistake" that she wasn't referred to as such. "We kept referring to her as Chandler's father, even though Chandler's father was trans," Kauffman said while appearing on BBC World Service's"The Conversation" in July, per"Pronouns were not yet something that I understood," she added."So we didn't refer to that character as she. That was a mistake."
