A close call here. It would be a matter of months before Courteney Cox went on to absolute global fame as clean-freak Monica in the smash ’90s sitcom Friends, when she guest starred as “The Wife” of Jerry in the eponymous episode. The gorgeous brunette was fresh from filming Ace Ventura, and still fairly unheard of when she took the role. What’s more – proving she was probably always the most versatile of the Friends cast – she’s actually pretty damn funny.
