New Delhi: On Monday, Courteney Cox, who portrayed Monica on the groundbreaking 90s sitcom Friends, was awarded on the Hollywood Walk of Fame held on Hollywood Boulevard, Vine St, Los Angeles. Her ‘Friends’ co-stars, Jennifer Aniston (Rachel) and Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe) attended the ceremony to offer their respects.
Jennifer Aniston shared a photo of the three of them together on Instagram from the event. She captioned the photo, “Very proud of our girl @courteneycoxofficial today. I love these women with literally every ounce of my heart and soul @lisakudrow and I were on a cloud being able to celebrate her and her incredible achievements.”
Anniston posted images of the group hugging each other, which looked just like the group hug from the iconic comedy, so the three could relive the event once again.
Aniston and Kudrow said they were both terrified the first time they met Cox on the set of ‘Friends’. Cox's prior work in a Bruce Springsteen video, Family Ties, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and Misfits of Science made her the most recognisable cast member at the time.
Lisa Kudrow said that the Friends cast learned a lot from Cox and was greatly influenced by her. She said,
Cox was there with her boyfriend Johnny McDaid and her daughter Coco. At the end of the event, she got emotional as she talked about how she never gave up on her dreams, even when money was tight.
Playing Monica Geller alongside Jennifer as Rachel Green and Lisa as Phoebe Buffay on Friends, which premiered in 1995 and ran for 10 seasons, propelled Courteney to worldwide fame. Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer also starred in the Emmy-winning sitcom show.
The show, which debuted in 1994, had tremendous success during its entire run of ten seasons. It chronicled the lives of six friends who lived in New York City as they negotiated the highs and lows of their personal and professional lives, with most of the action revolving around a coffee shop known as Central Perk.
