Courteney Cox

In the Beginning

Courteney Cox was born in Mountain Brook, Alabama, on June 15, 1964. In a family of five, now six, Courteney grew up with two older sisters and one older brother. She eventually left for college, aiming for a degree in architecture, and got sidetracked into acting. She debuted in the 1984 Bruce Springsteen music video “Dancing in the Dark,” starting off her career. In less than ten years, she’d managed to appear in such big names as Ace Ventura, the TV show Seinfeld, Family Ties, and Mr. Destiny.

Career Accomplishments

In Courteney’s long career, she’s managed to find her way into many huge productions, showing her beautiful face and quirky acting to many producers. With a great attitude and a willingness to work, she found herself in the Scream trilogy, reprising her 90’s role in 2011 for Scream 4. In the new millennia, she showed up in Zoom, The Longest Mile, and Sex and the City: the Movie. In 2007, she returned to TV, showing up in FX’s Dirt, Scrubs, and Cougar Town. Still going strong, Courteney is adding to her long resume each year, and will continue to make the crowds clamor for her.

Most Known For

One of the items skipped in her career accomplishments is the biggest accomplishment of them all: Friends. Originally, Courteney Cox was brought in to audition for the role of Rachel Green but was given the role of Monica Geller instead. For ten entire seasons, Courteney Cox co-starred as a quirky clean freak who struggled with her chef career and hosted countless shenanigans in her New York apartment. With her costars, she changed the layout of television shows and changed how much TV actors get paid per episode. Friends changed how people view television and somehow managed to create a show that no one has ever been able to match: a show with 6 costars that all shine equally in each episode.

Where Is She Now?

Today, despite an entire year passing since their engagement, there has still been no word on a wedding date. Despite rushing into a proposal after only six months of dating, they don’t seem to be hurried to walk down the aisle. Coco, her daughter, is happy with Courteney’s fiancé and has plans to become their new wedding planner. She’s declared herself to be the flower girl and all the bridesmaids and has begun planning the wedding for her mother.
