Jennifer Aniston Biography

When the sitcom Friends hit the airwaves in 1994, Jennifer Aniston quickly became the show’s first breakout star as the goofy and sexy Rachel.

Her distinctively curvy haircut became a popular craze, and she was an early favorite of tabloids and celebrity gossip columns, especially after her marriage to actor Brad Pitt in 2000; they divorced in 2005 amid a flurry of rumors that Pitt had become interested in actress Angelina Jolie. (The rumors proved true.)

Since then, Jennifer Aniston’s love life and family plans have been fodder for entertainment publications, while her career has been a steady stream of romantic flicks and offbeat comedies. Aniston’s feature films include the cult favorite Office Space (1999, directed by Mike Judge), Rock Star (2000, with Mark Wahlberg), The Good Girl (2002, with Jake Gyllenhaal), Along Came Polly (2004, with Ben Stiller), Rumor Has It (2005, with Kevin Costner); The Break-Up (2006, opposite one-time real-life beau Vince Vaughn); Love Happens (2009, with Aaron Eckhart); The Bounty Hunter (2009, with Gerard Butler); the couples comedy Wanderlust (2012, with Paul Rudd); and the mental illness drama Cake (2014). She has also been a longtime spokesperson for SmartWater, among other brands.
