Once starring in what has been named one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, your career can only go up from there. Having played Monica Geller in the '90s sitcom Friends, Courteney Cox became one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces and has since only continued to rise to fame. Following the success of Friends, she received further recognition once joining the long-standing horror franchise Scream — appearing in six consecutive Scream films. 

Adding to her endless roster are acting credits in Shameless, Modern Family, Private Practice, Shining Vale, and Bedtime Stories, among many more. Through her performances, Cox has garnered quite the list of awards and accolades, including a Golden Globes nomination, four People's Choice nominations (and one win), an Emmy nomination, and an award from the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Most recently, Cox reprised her role as Gale Weathers for the sixth Scream film released earlier this year. When she's not busy on set, Cox openly shows her close relationship with her daughter Coco as she posts sweet messages on Instagram and has cameo appearances with Coco on TikTok. Join L'OFFICIEL in celebrating Cox's 59th birthday with young early-career photos of the actress.
