Courteney Cox brought Monica Geller to life in Friends, but she wasn’t the first choice for the role. Initially, Kristin Davis auditioned to play Monica, but the part ultimately went to Cox. Interestingly, Cox had also been considered for the role of Rachel Green but felt a stronger connection to Monica’s character. Her portrayal as the lovable, neurotic chef became iconic, helping Friends achieve global success. Meanwhile, Davis went on to star as Charlotte in Sex and the City, carving her own path in television history.
