THEN AND NOW: The cast of the 'Scream' movies

At the start of "Scream," Sidney is preparing for the first anniversary of her mother's murder, who's believed to have been killed by a man named Cotton Weary.

Sidney is soon stalked by a new killer — later revealed to be her boyfriend Billy.

She comes up against several other killers using the Ghostface persona throughout the franchise, each having their own reasons for targeting her and murdering others.

She's also appeared on shows like "Medium," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Simpsons," and "Mad Men," and has starred in movies like "Investigating Sex," "Skyscraper," and "Castle in the Ground."

Known for her role as Monica Gellar on "Friends," Cox has appeared in numerous films and television shows throughout the years.
