Courteney Cox Photos

Birthday: June 15, 1964
Hometown: Birmingham, AL

How You Know Her: She had a small part (and a cute '80s haircut) in Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark," and is recognized as bitchy reporter Gale Weathers from the Scream movies, but Cox became a household name from her role as Monica Geller on the mega-popular sitcom Friends (1994-2004). And even though TV work is what propelled her to superstardom, Cox's movie credits include Masters of the Universe (1987), Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), The Longest Yard (2005) and 2008's Bedtime Stories. After starring in the short-lived series Dirt (2007-08), Cox makes her debut as a smokin' single babe in ABC's Cougar Town (premiering September 23). We bet this kitten has claws!

Show Me Your O-Face: "I have to be physically attracted to someone. But I can't just be with someone just because it's great sex. Because orgasms don't last long enough." Well said, Courteney; and well played, David Arquette.
