Scott D. Pierce: Horror/comedy series 'Shining Vale' is a reminder that 'Friends' star Courteney Cox is a better actress than many people give her credit for. Watch the first two episodes Sunday evening on Starz.
‘Shining Vale’ is a reminder that the ‘Friends’ star is a better actress than many people give her credit for.The first time I noticed Courteney Cox, it was 1984 and she was on MTV. Bruce Springsteen pulled her onstage to dance with him in his “Dancing In the Dark” music video.
Cox had better luck she signed on as Alex P. Keaton’s girlfriend, Lauren, in the final two seasons of “Family Ties” . Although Lauren dumped Alex when he cheated on her. That was, believe it or not, just a year before the premiere of “Friends.” And, while not much of anybody had high hopes for “Friends,” it went on to become one of the best sitcoms ever; Cox’s character, Monica, became a TV icon; and it made Cox unbelievably rich.Post “Friends,” Cox starred as a gossip tabloid editor in “Dirt” . She was good, but the show never really came together.
“I love to be scared and I love to laugh, and this is such a unique combination of these two things,” Cox said. “This genre I’ve never seen before. It deals with real-life issues, family, infidelity [and] mental illness.” The plan is that Pat is going to resume her writing career. She’s been blocked since she wrote a surprise bestseller 17 years earlier. But Pat quickly starts seeing ghosts. Or maybe she’s having a mental breakdown.
