'Friends' Cast Status Report
Courteney Cox
Cox has not fared well post-Friends, and even worse, it hasn’t been due to a lack of opportunities. First up was the almost-straight-to-DVD indie November. But, OK, it was made before Friends’ end, so we’ll give her a pass. But Barnyard, the exception to the rule that animated movies are guaranteed box office hits? And Zoom, one of 2006’s worst? And Tripper, her husband David Arquette's vanity-project slasher film? C’mon, Mon--I mean, Court! Cox seemed primed for a comeback when she returned to her TV roots with the tabloid drama Dirt, but the show was cancelled just last week after only two seasons. (And frankly, if she wasn’t Former Friends Star Courteney Cox, Dirt might not have been renewed for a second season.) Luckily, she’s co-starring in this Christmas’ Bedtime Stories, a surefire family hit with Adam Sandler. Phew--saved by the Sand Man!
