Courteney Cox was born on June 15th, 1964 in Birmingham, Alabama, into an affluent Southern family. She is the daughter of Courteney (Bass) and Richard Lewis Cox (1930-2001), a businessman.

Courteney was the archetypal daddy’s girl, and therefore was understandably devastated when, in 1974, her parents divorced, and her father moved to Florida.
