FOREVER FRIENDS

I’LL be there for you …

No prizes for guessing the theme song this line is from. It’s the earworm of earworms, the feel-good tune to a show that’s as comforting as a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly evening.

And if there’s anyone it really speaks to, it’s Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.

“We’ve been through so many things together,” Jennifer says. “The show taught us the importance of camaraderie and really sticking together. And it’s taught me about being there for each other – I know, that’s the song, I’ll be there for you. But it’s true.”

The pair met on the set of Friends and became besties for life – and this was evident yet again when Jen welled up as she watched Courteney receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame recently.

“To be friends with Courteney is to be family with Courteney,” the 54-year-old star said in an emotional speech. “She’s responsible for all of that. From the beginning of Friends, she was immediately inclusive, warm, loving, interested in everything about you.”

Courteney (58) was teary-eyed too. “Thank you for showing up for me in public, the way you so often do in private,” she said.

Things have changed a lot since their Rachel and Monica days. Hearts have been broken, fortunes have been made, a child has been born and grown up, dreams have been dashed – but their friendship is as enduring and endearing as that twinkling tune that kicked off a sitcom sensation.

THEY’VE WORKED TOGETHER . . .
