Born June 15, 1964, in Birmingham, Courtney was the “last child” among the four children of businessman Richard and devoted herself to raising children Courtney (it was in honor of her mother that the youngest was named). She had just turned 10 when her parents decided to leave. Mother was not left alone for long, and soon Courtney, Virginia, Dottie, and Richard had a stepfather, also a successful businessman, Hunter. And along with him – 9 more Step Brothers and sisters.
Courteney Cox, whose biography is a vivid example of success, was a charismatic person already in her school years: a cheerleader who loves tennis, and an excellent swimmer. Sports training will later be a great help in the acting craft. But at first, she chose a different path and entered one of the Washington universities to become an interior designer (a great profession, and there is always more than enough work!). But the prospect of decorating other people’s houses did not seduce the girl, and a year later the New York agency “Ford” acquired a new pretty model.
Working hard in a new field, Cox studied acting and began to act little by little – either in the clip of the famous musician Springsteen, then in an episode of the next series.
After the successful premiere of “Ace Ventura” (in the comedy, the actress played the friend of the protagonist), the performer was noticed. The producers of the new comedy series, which was launched by NBC, invited the girl to audition.
Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox vied for the role of the central character, Rachel. Aniston took this spot in the series. But Cox became an equally significant person in the sitcom Friends, Monica, who lives with her brother Ross next door to the very same Rachel-Jennifer Aniston. After 10 years of filming, the artists involved in the project have become very close. Later they will still work together, and Aniston will become the godmother of Courtney’s only daughter.
In addition to this strong friendship, the television project became very profitable for Cox (by the end of filming, all three actresses playing the main characters were in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest-paid performers on television). And the artist’s army of fans was provided!
Personal life
In Monica’s personal life, pleasant surprises happened now and then, and the actress herself was still a bachelor. Neither singer Adam Duritz nor movie star Michael Keaton ever became the Cox spouse. It was said that Kornti Cox and David Schwimmer had a passion for each other, but this is hardly true.
In 1996, she still met her fate – on the set of the movie “Scream” (the thriller marked the beginning of the youth cult franchise). David Arquette, an ex-wrestler and not a very famous actor (his sisters, colleagues Roseanne and Patricia are more popular than their brother), was invited by Craven to play the role of a modest handsome sheriff. And since there was a real love affair between David Arquette and Courtney Cox in life, this relationship smoothly “flowed” into the plot of the next three parts of the horror film. And in the second “Scream” was already filmed “By Courtney Cox-Arquette” (they got married in 1999).
Courteney Cox and David Arquette were a lovely couple
The couple had several collaborations. And the day before her 40th birthday, Courtney gave birth to her long-awaited daughter, Coco.
Sad outcome
The woman was pursued by a series of miscarriages (there were 8 of them – a monstrous amount!) – she passionately wanted to have more children. Maybe this was also the reason for the separation of the spouses in 2010. In the 4th “Scream” Courtney still plays Dewey’s wife, but in reality, she and David no longer live together. And what an interesting couple they were, fans froze with delight, seeing Courtney Cox and David Arquette on the screen …
The divorce was filed later, in 2013. Now Arquette, who is 7 years younger than their ex-wife, has a new passion. Christina McLarty gave birth to a son from him.
Courtney (who has just become Cox again) successfully starred in the comedy series Predator Town. Once they produced this project together with their ex-spouse. The show turned out to be quite popular, but it is far from the glory of “Friends”. Nevertheless, the sitcom lasted six seasons.
In the summer of 2014, the actress became the fiancee of musician Johnny McDade. But at the end of 2015, the media reported: the engagement was broken. They say the groom could not stand Courtney’s difficult character.
