Courteney Cox
Not just a star of Friends, Courteney has had a friendly but sharp personality that’s carried her from 80s film actress to 00’s film actress. A southerner from Alabama, she’s carried that debutante charm through her various performances.
Early relationships with Ian Copeland, Adam Duritz, Michael Keaton aside, Courteney’s been a one-man woman—that man being David Arquette. After meeting him on the Scream set, the two never separated. Married in 1999, they have one child famously named Coco Riley Arquette- Jewish tradition prevented her from naming the kid after a living relative, namely her mother Courteney- and in June 2007, Cox announced that she plans to extend their family in the near future. From her Alabama roots, Courteney grew up as a model, talking about periods in a Tampax TV ad in 1985. Aside from a few film roles, she made appearances on Family Ties. It was her casting as Monica on Friends that gave her fame, leading to roles in the Scream trilogy—arguably her career high. After meeting David Arquette, settling down, and having a baby, her life slowed down somewhat. However, since the premiere of her FX show Dirt in 2007, Cox is back on the television radar.
