Running in the United States from 1994 to 2004, Friends quickly became one of the most popular sitcoms in history and turned its six main cast members into global stars. If they were all more or less unknown at the beginning of the series, Courteney Cox still participated in several films (Cocoon: The Return, Ace Ventura, Detective Dogs and Cats or even Nanari, which became the iconic Masters of the Universe. .) before becoming Monica.
Moreover, the actress – who recently learned of the disappearance of her friend Matthew Perry (Chandler) – was originally cast as Rachel, but she managed to convince the producers that her personality was more suited to the character of Monica. Jennifer Aniston, originally slated to play Ross’s sister, therefore inherited the role of Rachel in favor of Thea Leon, who was once considered for the role.
Thirty years later, the two actresses – like the rest of the cast – are still inseparable from their characters, and as Courteney Cox celebrates her 60th birthday today, we invite you to check if you’re still up to date on Monica’s life.
Since the end of Friends, Courteney Cox has directed a feature film (comedy-drama Just Before I Go), starred in several other TV series (Dirty, Cougar Town…) and appeared in several films.
She most notably reprized the role of journalist Gale Weathers in the final episodes of the Scream franchise, a role she is expected to reprise in the seventh film, which will be directed by the saga’s original screenwriter Kevin Williamson.
