After our brief foray into classiness and the 19th century, Arts has come back where it belongs - the 21st century and TV of questionable quality. Once again, we find ourselves swooning at the wonder that was "Friends"; this week, we're featuring Alison Savery, doppelganger of the lovable Courteney Cox Arquette (a.k.a. Monica Geller). Too bad we didn't figure this one out earlier: We could have run a brother/sister spread with our Ross Geller lookalike, Tim Garcia (see the Feb. 16 Daily). After we talked to Alison, we started to realize that the similarities were more than skin-deep. Alison admitted to some semi-obsessive organizational tendencies, and, as an SoC choreographer, could get her big break the same way Courteney did (dancing on stage with Bruce in his "Dancing in the Dark" video, in case you've never seen five minutes of any VH1 nostalgia show).
Tufts Daily: Who's your favorite Arquette?Alison Savery: Courteney, now that she's in the family.
TD: How would you justify naming a baby "Coco"?AS: (Look of disgust.) I wouldn't justify it.
TD: What is the most Monica-ish thing about you?AS: The fact that I'm insanely organized. And super-competitive. We had a Beer Olympics in Puerto Rico and my friends actually plotted against my team because I get so competitive.
