2.03 Courteney Cox - Bios of the six main stars (Friends)
Courteney Cox, who as we all know plays Monica Geller on "Friends", is
originally from Birmingham, Alabama. She moved to New York City after
graduating from high school and did some time with the Ford modeling
agency, where she appeared in such glamorous roles as TV commercials
for Noxema, Maybelline, and even the New York phone company.
Courteney made her acting debut in 1984 on the daytime soap "As the
World Turns", and later that same year, she was in Bruce Springsteen's
video for "Dancing in the Dark" (she was the girl pulled from the
audience to dance with 'The Boss'). Her most familiar TV series role
was as Michael J. Fox's (or rather Alex P. Keaton's) girlfriend Lauren
on "Family Ties". Her other TV appearances include being a regular on
"Misfits of Science" & "The Trouble with Larry", guest-starring
appearances on "Murder, She Wrote", "Seinfeld" (where she played
Jerry's pretend wife), and HBO's "Dream On", several TV movies
including "Prize Pulitzer", "Battling for Baby", and "Curiosity Kills",
and even a mini-series, Judith Krantz's "Till We Meet Again".
Courteney has appeared in several movies, including the wildly
successful "Ace Ventura: Pet Dectective" with Jim Carrey, and some not
as successful films including "Down Twisted", "Masters of the
Universe", "Cocoon: The Return", "Shaking the Tree", "Mr. Destiny",
"The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them", and "Blue Desert". Her
stage work includes "King of Hearts" at the Tiffany Theatre in L.A.,
where she starred with Michael Spound.
When Courteney is not working (and it doesn't seem like there's much of
that), she enjoys decorating and remodeling homes. Her birthday is June
15, 1964, and she lives in Los Angeles.
Courteney has been dating Michael Keaton (of "Batman" fame; not to be
confused with the character Alex P. Keaton played by Michael J. Fox)
for a couple of years.
