Courteney Bass
Cox Arquette (born Courteney Bass Cox on June 15, 1964)
is an American actress and former fashion model, best
known for her role as Monica Bing in the long-running
television series Friends. She now plays Lucy Spiller,
an executive editor of a tabloid magazine, on the
popular drama Dirt on FX Networks.
Biography, Early life: Cox was born in
Birmingham, Alabama to an affluent Southern family: her
late father, Richard L. Cox, was a businessman and her
mother, also named Courteney (née Bass), was a
housewife. Cox has two older sisters (Dottie Pickett and
Virginia Cox), one older brother (Richard, Jr.) and nine
half-brothers and half-sisters. Her parents divorced in
1974, and her father eventually wound up in Panama City,
Florida where he would open a company called Cox Pools,
while Cox grew up with her mother and her stepfather,
New York businessman Hunter Copeland.
Cox was raised in an exclusive society town, Mountain
Brook, Alabama. She attended Mountain Brook High School,
where she was a cheerleader, tennis player and swimmer.
Upon graduation, Cox went to study architecture and
interior design at Mount Vernon College for Women. She
dropped out after one year to pursue a modeling career,
after being signed by the Ford modeling agency in New
York City. While modeling, she also took acting classes,
and acquired a Northern accent.
Career: Cox first came to prominence in the 1984
music video for Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the
Dark" (in which she was the pulled-on-stage-girl
who danced onstage with Springsteen for 26 seconds). Cox
is also notable for being the first person to use the
word "period" on U.S. television in its
physiological sense, in a 1985 advertising campaign for
Tampax brand tampons. Her early film roles include
Masters of the Universe (1987) and Cocoon: The Return
(1988). Cox's early television work include a starring
role in the short-lived television series Misfits of
Science (1985), and later a recurring role (1987 - 1989)
on the television series Family Ties as the last
girlfriend of Alex P. Keaton (Michael J. Fox). Cox also
appeared as Meryl, Jerry's girlfriend/pretend wife on
the hit TV sitcom Seinfeld in 1994.
After appearing in the Jim Carrey comedy Ace Ventura:
Pet Detective (1994), Cox found fame playing Monica
Geller on the hit TV series Friends (1994-2004). This
was the role for which she would become most famous. The
six principal cast members, including Cox, became
household names due to the mass popularity and success
of the show. However, she was the only principal member
of the show's cast not to be nominated for an Emmy
Award.
During her time on Friends, Cox appeared in the highly
successful and high-profile Hollywood films Scream
(1996), Scream 2 (1997), and Scream 3 (2000). It is
whilst filming the first of this trilogy that she would
meet her husband David Arquette. Although she starred in
several other films during her time on Friends, none
achieved the same level of success as the show. Such
films include The Runner, 3000 Miles to Graceland and
The Shrink is In. In late 2003, Cox produced the
television series Mix It Up. The lifestyle show received
low ratings and was not renewed for a second season.
After her Friends role, Cox was producer Marc Cherry's
first choice to be offered a starring role as Susan
Mayer on Desperate Housewives. But due to the actress's
pregnancy, she was unavailable for the part, therefore,
giving the role to Teri Hatcher. A couple of years
later, Cox signed a deal with ABC Television Studio
(formerly Touchstone Television), to star in her own
series.
Since Friends, Cox has primarily concentrated on her
family but has starred in the independent film November
(2005), which had only a limited theatrical release,
co-starred with Tim Allen in the critically derided Zoom
and cameoed in the big budget remake of The Longest
Yard, as the girlfriend of Adam Sandler. She has
recently supplied her voice for the animated film
Barnyard.
As of 2007, Cox plays Lucy Spiller, a tabloid editor, in
Dirt, a television drama for the FX Networks. Cox and
her husband, David Arquette, are the executive producers
of the series.
Personal life: Cox's previous relationships
include the late Ian Copeland and a long term
relationship with actor Michael Keaton. Cox also dated
Counting Crows singer Adam Duritz, and appeared in their
music video for song A Long December in 1997. (Duritz
has also dated Cox's "Friends" co-star,
Jennifer Aniston.)
She met actor David Arquette on the set of Scream; the
couple married on June 12, 1999 in an Episcopalian
ceremony held at the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco,
CA. Both Arquette and Cox had the sentence A deal's a
deal inscribed on their wedding rings. While Cox has
occasionally used her full married name, "Courteney
Cox Arquette", professionally, she continues to be
generally known simply as "Courteney Cox."
On June 13, 2004, she gave birth to their first child,
daughter Coco Riley Arquette. The child was originally
to be named after her mother as Courteney Cox Arquette,
however her husband's family objected to this on the
grounds that naming a child after a living relative goes
against Jewish tradition. Coco is a nickname Cox's
friends gave her mother when she was a child. Cox's
close real life friend and "Friends" co-star,
Jennifer Aniston, is the baby's godmother.
