    Monica from Friends hide show

    Courtney Cox, born June 15 1964 (age 45), is an american actress well known for her role as Monica Geller in the 90s popular sitcom "Friends". This woman is awesome. She's such a great actress, is so funny and is rlly hot. I loved her in Friends, I loved her character and her OCD (obsesive cleaning disorder) LOL. Shes amazing. I loved Friends, and other movies with her like Scream and The Longest Yard 2006 (although she just appeared for a couple of minutes, it was awesome). She also appeared as a guest star on Scrubs. Her first appearence was awesome, not so much the next 2. But anyway, shes great.

    Such a versatile actress hide show

    Courteney is so amazing in anything she does. She does drama so excellent, I don't know why she hasn't one at least an Emmy by now. Hell! She deserves a freakin' Oscar! The problem is she doesn't do too many movies that would get her recognized. She was amazing in the Scream movies, and so glad she was in them. But they're horror so, the Academy would never nominate her for that. On her two season long series, Dirt, on FX, Courteney shined in it so much. She should have been nominate for a Golden Globe for her role as Lucy Spiller, but I'm pretty sure they just turned away from the show because of it's constant periodical sex scenes, and excessive language, so it wasn't nominated for anything. And something that really surprised me is that she was never nominated for an Emmy on Friends, and was the only main actor on the show not to be. She was the best one on the show, and wasn't even nominated. She has become my 2nd favorite actress of all time, and all of her different roles and films that show her ability, shows why. Great in comedy, drama, horror, anything. I've found that most of her movies/tv shows are some of my favorites. The Scream trilogy are some of the best horror movies of all time. Friends, is quite possibly the best sitcom of all time, and Dirt, in the short time it was on the air, became on of my all time favorite Drama series that should have continued for years.
