Courteney Cox Monica on Friends The youngest of four children raised in Birmingham, AL., Cox is a former model who signed with the Ford modeling agency shortly after finishing high school. Soon, the stunning brunette (Cox was People magazine's 1995 cover girl for the "50 Most Beautiful People" issue) was appearing on magazine covers and in television commercials. In 1984, Cox made her acting debut on the daytime drama "As the World Turns," but got her first big break later that year when she was cast by director Brian DePalma to portray the young fan whom Springsteen pulls out of the crowd in the music video "Dancing in the Dark." Before "Friends," Cox's most memorable television series role was that of Lauren, Alex P. Keaton's (Michael J. Fox) girlfriend on "Family Ties." Her other television credits include regular series roles on "Misfits of Science" and "The Trouble with Larry;" guest-starring parts on such hits as "Murder, She Wrote" and "Seinfeld," and the cable series "Dream On" and "The Larry Sanders Show." She has starred in several television movies, including "Prize Pulitzer," "Battling for Baby" and "Curiosity Kills," as well as in the miniseries "Till We Meet Again," which was based on Judith Krantz's best-selling novel. Of her motion-picture credits, Cox starred in the hit thriller "Scream" and spent her summer hiatus this year filming the sequel "Scream 2." Cox also had a starring role opposite comedian Jim Carrey in the box-office hit "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." Her other feature films include "Commandments," "Down Twisted," "Masters of the Universe," "Cocoon: The Return," "Shaking the Tree," "Mr. Destiny" and "Blue Desert." On stage, she starred with Michael Spound in "King of Hearts" at the Tiffany Theatre in Los Angeles. Cox enjoys remodeling and decorating homes in her spare time, and insists she is nothing like her compulsive character, Monica, in real life. Cox currently lives in the Los Angeles area. Her birthday is June 15.   PRIME PICKS COPS Tonight at 8:30 PM Officers in Texas chase down a man after a bar fight breaks out; officers in Florida investigate a disturbance call at a roller rink  |
