Courteney Bass Cox (born June 15, 1964)[5][6] is an American actress and filmmaker. She rose to international prominence for playing Monica Geller in the NBC sitcom Friends (1994–2004) and Gale Weathers in the horror film franchise Scream (1996–present).[7] Her accolades include a Screen Actors Guild Award, nominations for two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Cox had a recurring role in the NBC sitcom Family Ties (1987–1989), and starred in the FX drama series Dirt (2007–2008), the ABC/TBS sitcom Cougar Town (2009–2015) which she also directed, and the Starz horror comedy series Shining Vale (2022–2023). Her film credits include the action fantasy Masters of the Universe (1987), the comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), the animated comedy Barnyard (2006), the fantasy comedy Bedtime Stories (2008), and the independent drama Mothers and Daughters (2016).
Cox owns the production company Coquette Productions, which she founded with David Arquette, her husband at the time. She has directed the television drama film TalhotBlond (2012), the black comedy drama film Just Before I Go (2014), and executive produced the game show Celebrity Name Game (2014–2017).
Courteney Cox has admitted that it was difficult to maintain a long-distance relationship with her Northern Irish musician partner Johnny McDaid during the Covid-19 pandemic.
My man friend? That's good," the 54-year-old actress joked. "I don't know if that would go over very well. He's my partner. That's what he calls it, my partner. And I'm from Alabama, so you don't really say partner unless you're the same sex.
Courteney Cox and partner Johnny McDaid have reunited following two and a half months apart.
