Bonnie Somerville is known for her performance as Ross' girlfriend, Mona, in Friends

Bonnie Somerville appeared as Mona in the eighth season of Friends as Ross' girlfriend. They were romantically linked after Ross realized that Rachel was pregnant with his child.

When Ross requested that Rachel move in together because of the baby, he and Mona separated. Mona's relationship with Ross features a lot of unfortunate coincidences, like Ross giving her a key to his apartment and is later forced to change the locks. Mona later discovered on Valentine's Day that Ross and Rachel had moved in together.

Ross was in a relationship with a few girls throughout the show, and Mona was his sixth girlfriend. Mona also technically manipulated Ross into a conversation where she tried to prove that they were serious as a couple. Mona's job at Allesandro's was never revealed, but she spent a lot of time with Monica to score a wedding invitation.
