Cox Arquette’s talent for both dramatic and comedic acting has made her a favorite of fans. She co-starred opposite Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell in the film “3000 Miles to Graceland,” and as television reporter Gale Weathers in Wes Craven’s “Scream” trilogy, opposite Neve Campbell and Cox Arquette’s husband, David Arquette.

Before “Friends,” Cox Arquette’s most memorable television roles included a recurring turn as Lauren, Alex P. Keaton’s (Michael J. Fox) girlfriend on “Family Ties,” and, as a teenager, playing a starstruck fan hauled on stage by Bruce Springsteen in his “Dancing in the Dark” video. Her other television credits include “The Trouble with Larry,” as well as guest-starring parts on “Murder, She Wrote,” “Seinfeld,” “Dream On,” “Hands That See” and “The Larry Sanders Show.” Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Cox Arquette moved to New York City after her graduation from high school and was subsequently signed by the Ford modeling agency. Soon, she was appearing in magazines, television commercials and music videos. In 1995, as a cast member of “Friends,” Cox Arquette was People magazine’s 1995 cover girl for the “50 Most Beautiful People” issue.
