She has always been a zealous actress, but she had never forgotten about her family life. Courteney put lots of efforts to be happy in her personal life too. Let’s see, what she has achieved in that area!

Courteney Cox was a happy girl in her early years. She was the youngest in the big family. Her older siblings cared about her, and for all members of the family she was a small little princess.

The famous series "Friends" made the young actors from the main cast stars - all of them, except for Courteney. Cox was the only young actress in the project, whose face has already become recognizable. She has already achieved initial success as a model, starred in Bruce Springsteen music video "Dancing in the Dark" and appeared in several popular TV shows, including "The Love Boat" and "Family Ties". By the way, the series creators used Courteney Cox name to promote the upcoming series in mass media, because all the other actors were unknown. It sounds even more weird, if you look at Courteney Cox filmography after "Friends". Not so many screen hits can be found there.
