Friends fans around the world were delighted last week when Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston joined Courteney Cox as she received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
The accolade, which honours her 40 years in the entertainment industry, came a week ahead of the release of Scream VI, in which the actress reprises her role as news reporter Gale Weathers.
As well as her former Friends co-stars, Courteney, 58, who played Monica Geller in the hit sitcom, was supported on her special day by her daughter Coco, 18, and her partner, Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid. The actress listened as Jen, 54, paid tribute to her, saying, "To be friends with Courteney is to be family with Courteney. When we met her she was immediately inclusive, warm, loving, interested in everything about you."
She added, "You're one of the funniest human beings on the planet earth. Nothing makes me happier than a Courteney joke. And thank you for enriching our lives with your work. We are so proud of you."
Lisa, 59, went on to say that it was because of Courteney that the cast - which also included Matt Le Blanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer - became so tight, saying, "She really set us up to become one of the closest, most loving and supportive casts in, I'll say, the history of television."
She ended her glowing tribute with, "Courteney, we just want to say that we are 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 personally."
While Friends is undoubtedly what Courteney is best known for (along with her five co-stars, she famously earned a whopping million dollars an episode for the last two series), she's equally loved by horror fans who can't get enough of Gale, her Scream alter ego.
