Courteney Cox, born on June 15, 1964, in Birmingham, Alabama, is an American actress, producer, and director best known for her roles in television and film, particularly as Monica Geller on the iconic sitcom Friends and as Gale Weathers in the Scream horror franchise. With a career spanning over three decades, Cox has cemented her place in Hollywood with her distinctive comedic timing, versatility, and charm. Beyond acting, she has successfully ventured into directing and producing, further establishing herself as a multifaceted talent in the entertainment industry.
Cox grew up in Birmingham in a large, close-knit family, the youngest of four children. Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother later remarried businessman Hunter Copeland. Cox attended Mountain Brook High School, where she was known as an energetic, sporty teen and a cheerleader. After high school, she enrolled at Mount Vernon College in Washington, D.C., to study architecture but left after one year to pursue a modeling and acting career in New York City. This decision would prove to be pivotal, as she soon began booking modeling gigs and small acting roles.
Cox’s first major break came in 1984 when she was cast in Bruce Springsteen’s music video for “Dancing in the Dark.” In the video, she famously dances on stage with Springsteen, an appearance that quickly made her a recognizable face. This exposure led to roles in television, including a recurring part on Family Ties as Michael J. Fox’s girlfriend, Lauren. She continued to build her career throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s with appearances in various TV series and films, gaining a reputation for her girl-next-door appeal and comedic ability.
