The American Family Institute honored the famous Arquette family yesterday. Family attending included Courtney Cox-Arquette, David Arquette, Patricia Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, and Alexis Arquette. Friends at the even included Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Roseanne Barr, Paul Reubens, Laura Dern, Florence Henderson, and Mickey Rooney.
The AFI Associates Platinum Circle Award is awarded each year to recognize a family’s creative contributions to the entertainment community.
Past honorees include the Penns, the Fondas and the Reynolds/Fisher family.
Alexis Arquette is a transvestite with the full support of her family. It is rumored that Courtney Cox was against a planned reality show featuring her cross-dressing brother-in-law’s planned gender reassignment surgery. She refused to appear in the series, and Alexis has decided not to film the show:
Cox’s brother in law, Alexis Arquette, had signed a deal to have his gender reassignment operation filmed a US documentary entitled Alexis Are-Cut.
But reports suggest that Alexis changed his mind, and was unwilling to allow the cameras into the operation or to document the recovery process.
Alexis’ eldest sister, Rosanna, 46, said: “It’s private. We all support him and wouldn’t want him to be involved in any sort of circus act surrounding his decision.”
It sounds like Rosanna didn’t want the show to go forward, either.
Here are pictures from the event yesterday.
Oh lord, we all know that David Arquette is definitely not the sexiest person on earth, but Coco is just adorable and they’re such a cute family =)
He needs to do something with his hair so that he doesn’t have this giant forehead, but he seems like a really good guy. Courtney looks gorgeous.
