More than 25 years after 'Friends’ and 'Scream’ made her a household name, Cox opens up about pursuing — and landing — her most personal role to date.
Courteney Cox starred in one of television’s most popular sitcoms and another that became a cult favorite. But she will be the first to tell you that, these days, people haven’t exactly been clamoring to get her to do their TV shows. About five years ago, she was tapped to star in and executive produce a Fox comedy calledthat fizzled. It was the first time she’d done a TV pilot that didn’t go to series, and, she says, it made her cautious — maybe too cautious — about pursuing another.
Facing the sweeping ocean view from her Malibu home, Cox is sitting at the dining table of her pergola-covered terrace with Lily, one of her two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, perched on her lap. As she reflects on her return to television, she’s relaxed but contemplative — a change from just minutes earlier, when the more informal Cox was on display.
It’s why Jennifer Aniston, Cox’s longtime friend and former co-star, wasn’t surprised that Cox, in her most Monica-like turn to date, launched her own line of home-care products: “When is she her happiest? I would say cleaning, but she would kill me for that,” Aniston says. “But I’ve never seen someone with a bottle of Windex and a cloth more hours out of the day. You can literally be in the middle of a conversation, and her eyes just sort of like drift away from yours.
But, Cox says of “Shining Vale”: “It’s been a while since I acted [on this scale]. This role has helped me find a new excitement in it.”
