Courteney Cox experiencing "unprecedented levels of joy."
In the absence of Courteney Cox, the "Friends" Sextet would have been incomplete. She portrayed Monica Geller alongside Jennifer Aniston and others in the renowned series "Friends." This character is not only known from the hit comedy show but also from the horror film series "Scream." As she turns 60 on a Saturday.
Monica Geller, a fastidious chef with an obsession for cleanliness and order, was the role that brought Courteney Cox worldwide fame. In a recent interview, she admitted that there is some similarity between herself and this iconic character in the cult series "Friends." "I take things seriously and strive for perfection, but I'm not a perfectionist like Monica. As long as there's enough food, it tastes good, and everyone's having a good time, that's all that matters to me."
From 1994 to 2004, Cox played Monica Geller on "Friends", which catapulted her to international stardom as an actress and created a formidable ensemble alongside Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer.
Last year, when Matthew Perry passed away, the "Friends" cast mourned together. Aniston and Kudrow remain among Cox's closest friends. "Friends taught me the importance of camaraderie and unity. These friendships were the most valuable to me in my life, and we've been through so much together. That's what it taught me, to always be there for each other."
Thriving in Business
Born in 1964 in Alabama, Cox grew up in a large family and every Sunday, the whole family would visit her grandmother's house, with 21 cousins and cousins. To this day, she continues this tradition by inviting friends and family to her home in Los Angeles every Sunday. Prince Harry even attended a party with friends there, as he wrote in his book, which she confirmed in an interview. "He's a very nice person."
After high school, Cox moved to New York and ventured into modeling and acting. She soon landed roles in Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" music video, the films "Masters of the Universe" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," and the TV series "The Commish" and "Family Ties" alongside Michael J. Fox.
Her breakthrough came with "Friends," but she continued to excel in business, focusing on the horror genre and appearing in "Scream" 6. In addition, Cox, who was married to actor David Arquette from 1999 to 2013 and has a daughter, since 2014 has been in a relationship with musician Johnny McDaid, has a line of beauty and household products.
"I've never been happier. There are things I don't like about getting older, but there are also wonderful things - I love my work, I take better care of myself, it's more important to me. I love directing. I love acting. I love producing. I feel like I've been doing this long enough to know what I'm doing, and then I can make it exceptional."
