The Beauty of Retrospect, Actress Edition: Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox has come a long way from her appearance in a Bruce Springsteen video.


In September 2009, she returned to network television as the star of ABC's "Cougar Town," a sitcom about a middle-aged Florida real estate agent who still thinks she's hot.

Well, actually, she is. :-D


"Cougar Town" is so titled because "cougar" is an unflattering, frankly misogynistic term for a middle-aged woman who aggressively goes after younger men, which Cox's character Jules Cobb has a tendency to do. As "Cougar Town" is proving to be more of an ensemble comedy than just a Courteney Cox vehicle, the show is likely to be retitled in time for the start of its second season.
