Courteney
Cox Arquette returns to television’s top-rated comedy “Friends”
for the tenth season as the sensitive and meticulous Monica Geller Bing,
who is married to fellow “Friend” Chandler Bing (series star
Matthew Perry).
Cox Arquette’s talent for both dramatic and comedic acting has made
her a favorite of fans. She co-starred opposite Kevin Costner and Kurt
Russell in the film “3000 Miles to Graceland,” and as television
reporter Gale Weathers in Wes Craven’s “Scream” trilogy,
opposite Neve Campbell and Cox Arquette’s husband, David Arquette.
Cox Arquette’s
other feature credits include “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective”
(opposite Jim Carrey), “Commandments,” “Blue Desert,”
“Cocoon: The Return,” “Mr. Destiny,” “The
Rules of the Game,” and “Alien Love Triangle,” opposite
Kenneth Branagh (and directed by Danny Boyle).
Cox Arquette,
along with her husband David, are creators and executive producers of
the new home-themed series, “Mix It Up,” which is inspired
by their own decorating dilemmas. “Mix It Up” takes a close
look at individuals moving in together, be it friends, lovers, husband
and wives, mothers and daughters or roommates, who are often at odds stylistically.
An interior design team assists these couples in their attempts to blend
their personal living styles with complete room makeovers. The show premieres
on the WE Network in October 2003.
Before “Friends,”
Cox Arquette’s most memorable television roles included a recurring
turn as Lauren, Alex P. Keaton’s (Michael J. Fox) girlfriend on
“Family Ties,” and, as a teenager, playing a starstruck fan
hauled on stage by Bruce Springsteen in his “Dancing in the Dark”
video. Her other television credits include “The Trouble with Larry,”
as well as guest-starring parts on “Murder, She Wrote,” “Seinfeld,”
“Dream On,” “Hands That See” and “The Larry
Sanders Show.”
Born and
raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Cox Arquette moved to New York City after
her graduation from high school and was subsequently signed by the Ford
modeling agency. Soon, she was appearing in magazines, television commercials
and music videos. In 1995, as a cast member of “Friends,”
Cox Arquette was People magazine’s 1995 cover girl for the “50
Most Beautiful People” issue.
In
her spare time, Cox Arquette, who wanted to be an architect while growing
up, enjoys remodeling and decorating homes. She and Arquette currently
live in Los Angeles. Her birthday is June 15.
Monica
Bing (Gellar)
Some might say Monica is a little obsessive-compulsive, but really she
just likes things in order - which actually makes her more of a control
freak. Monica was an obese teen, which may have influenced her decision
to become a professional chef. At her brother Ross's last wedding, Monica
began an affair with mutual friend, Chandler. Now, the two are happily
married and Monica hopes to some day start a family (as long as the kids
aren't too, you know, messy).
