Courteney Cox honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

The one where Courteney Cox gets her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Courteney Cox was surrounded by her friends Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow when she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. Cox is well known for playing the role of Monica Geller in the hit sitcom Friends, alongside Aniston and Kudrow, playing Rachel Green and Phoebe Buffay respectively.

“We are thrilled to welcome Courteney Cox to the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Courteney has played some momentous roles during her career, and we know there is much more to come. I am happy to add, that her star is just a few feet away from her friend and now fellow Walk of Famer Jennifer Aniston.” said Ana Martinez, the producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Courteney’s co-stars were amongst the speakers, praising her wisdom and kindness “We’re very honoured to be here today to speak on your behalf as your co-workers, your friends and your family. Your sisters,” Jennifer said, “(Courteney) instilled into all of us, into our DNA, to support each other and to love one another, and that actors need to support and love one another, not compete with one another. Those wise, wise words have stayed with me – I learned them as a young 20-something-year-old actor and that really set me on my path as a young woman and being able to create relationships that I cherish to this very day.”

Lisa praised “I really believe that it was that, and Courteney doing that, that really set us up to become one of the closest, most loving and supportive casts in, I’ll say it, the history of television. We just want to say that we’re deeply, deeply proud to know you. You are the definition of a truly beautiful, talented, and what’s most important, a truly good and decent human being. Thank you for enriching our lives.”

The Scream star received her star saying “This is just really surreal, because I’m from Birmingham, Alabama, and the only time that you see your name on a sidewalk is if you did it yourself with a stick and a wet cement”. She then thanked her partner Johnny McDaid and delivered a beautiful message to her daughter Coco, both of whom attended the event “It’s not easy to grow up in this business, and I just want you to know you shine and you shine in your own unique light. I love you so much, I’m so proud of you. I’m proud to be your mom.”
