Nickname CeCe
Coco
Height 1.65 m
Mini biography Courteney Cox was born on June 15th, 1964 into an affluent Southern
family. Her father Richard L Cox (1930-2001) was a business man married
to her mother Courteney. She was the baby of the family with two older
sisters (Virginia and Dottie) and an older brother Richard Jnr. She was
raised in an exclusive society town, Mountain Brook, Alabama. Courteney
was the archetypal Daddy's girl, and therefore was understandably
devastated when, in 1974 her parents divorced, and her father moved to
Florida.
She became a rebellious teen, and did not make things easy for her
mother, and new step-father, New York businessman Hunter Copeland. Now,
she is great friends with both. She attended Mountain Brook High School,
where she was a cheerleader, tennis player and swimmer. In her final
year, she received her first taste of modelling. She appeared in an
advert for the store, Parisians. Upon graduation, she left Alabama to
study architecture and interior design at Mount Vernon College. After
one year she dropped out to a pursue a modelling career in New York,
after being signed by the prestigious Ford Modelling Agency. She
appeared on the covers of teen magazines such as Tiger Beat and Little
Miss, plus numerous romance novels. She then moved on to commercials for
Maybeline, Noxema, New York Telephone Company and Tampax.
While modelling, she attended acting classes, as her real dream and
ambition was to be an actress. In 1984, she landed herself a small part
in one episode of "As the World Turns" (1956) as a young debutante named
Bunny. Her first big break, however, was being cast by Brian De Palma
in the infamous Bruce Springsteen video "Dancing in The Dark". In 1985,
she moved to LA to star alongside Dean Paul Martin in "Misfits of
Science" (1985). It was a flop, but a few years later, she was chosen
out of thousands of hopefuls to play Michael J. Fox's girlfriend,
psychology major Lauren Miller in "Family Ties" (1982).
In 1989, "Family Ties" (1982) ended, and Cox went through a lean spell
in her career, featuring in unmemorable movies such as Mr. Destiny
(1990) with Michael Caine. Fortunes changed dramatically for Cox, when
in 1994, she starred alongside Jim Carrey in the unexpected hit Ace
Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), and a year later she was cast as Monica
Geller on the hugely successful sitcom "Friends" (1994). It was this
part that turned her into an international superstar and led to an
American Comedy Award nomination. In 1996 Cox starred in Wes Craven's
horror/comedy _Scream (1996)_ . This movie grossed over $100 million at
the box office, and won Cox rave reviews for her standout performance as
the wickedly bitchy and smug TV reporter Gale Weathers. She went on to
play this character twice more, as Scream became The Scream Trilogy. Not
only did her involvement in this movie lead to critical acclaim, but it
also led to her meeting actor husband David Arquette. He played her on
screen love interest Dewey, and life imitated art as the two fell in
love for real. Their wedding took place in San Francisco, at the
historic Grace Cathedral atop Nob Hill, on June 12th, 1999. Joined by
200 guests, including Cox's film star friends Liam Neeson and Kevin
Spacey, the happy couple finally became Mr and Mrs Arquette.

Jon Lovitz, and so the tall (5' 9") blond-haired, green-eyed beauty
entered show biz. Lisa auditioned for the improv theater group The
Groundlings, based in Los Angeles. Cynthia Szigeti, a well-known improv
teacher, took Lisa under her wing. In that class, Lisa became a friend
of Conan O'Brien. Graduating with honors, in 1989 Lisa became a
full-fledged member of The Groundlings. Breaking into TV, she got a
recurring role as Ursula, the ditzy waitress on "Mad About You" (1992)
This led to her starring role on "Friends" (1994) In the debut season
(1994-95) of "Friends," Lisa earned an Emmy nomination as Outstanding
Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series; in 1998 she won that award for
her role as Phoebe, the ditzy but lovable folk singer. Lisa has also
been nominated for Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and American Comedy
Awards for her performances. Lisa made the transition to the big screen
with a lot of success. In 1997 she starred opposite Oscar winner Mira
Sorvino in the above-mentioned "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion."

Film Critics Award for her starring role in The Opposite of *** (1998)

Personal quotes
"I really like the half hour comedy. I really do. I know people that are
in movies all the time and they, you know, they don't see their
families as much. And that takes its toll over time. And I don't want to
be one of those families. I want to sleep in my own bed every night. I
want to, you know, help the kids with homework. And I like that. That's
fun."
