Jennifer Aniston BiographyJennifer Aniston was born as Jennifer Anastassakis on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California. She has the flavor for acting running in her veins. Her father, John, starred as Victor Kiriakis on the daytime soap Days of Our Lives, and her mother Nancy, an actress and model. Jennifer is also the goddaughter of the late Telly Savalas (of Kojak fame). She spent her childhood in Greece but has to live with her mother in New York at the age of 9, after her parents divorced.Her decision to form a career in acting ignited when she was a member of the drama club in her high school. She also had great passion for painting. After doing her graduation from New York's High School of Performing Arts (the Fame school) in 1987, Aniston worked in the off-Broadway productions For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave. She was occupied with many TV appearances but none of the TV roles she landed were worth watching. But then she auditioned for a new show that was set to debut in 1994. Being famous as Rachel Green, the spoiled Long Islander left her husband at the altar and ends up working at Central Perk. Jennifer Aniston and her five Friends became the biggest stars on television. Then with the rise in her career, Jennifer appeared in films like She's the One (1996), Picture Perfect (1997), and Office Space. No doubt she performed on the big screen but was unable to represent a box-office portrayal. She came to limelight only when she married A-list actor, Brad Pitt in 2000, and co-starred with Mark Wahlberg in 2001's Rock Star. Gradually, Aniston dug enough space for herself that she could be seen everywhere, in magazines, tabloid shows, and in the front seat at fashion shows. Her acting in The Good Girl (2002) proved that she could be more than "Rachel". For this she even downplayed her looks. Then, the actress tried her hand in comedy and starred as Jim Carrey's girlfriend in the summer blockbuster Bruce Almighty. Considering the other modes of her life, in 2004, she was the object of Ben Stiller's affection as a flaky cocktail waitress and salsa dancer in Along Came Polly. Friends, the show finally ended its 10-year run on May 6, 2004. After a salary of $1 million per episode and Best Actress Emmy and Golden Globe, Jennifer concentrated on making movies with her and Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Productions. She even moves on to more film roles (including 2005's Diary and 2006's Gambit). Jennifer Aniston bought fame to her name when she gave new meaning to popular hairstyles, when women worldwide demanded what is until today known as the "Rachel." After months of media rumor and guesswork, the couple formally announced their separation in January 2005. Whether it has to do with Brad's desire to start a family or the rumors linking Angelina Jolie (Pitt's Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star) to Brad, the truth is that they separated agreeably. Jennifer'Tunes Out' Bad RumorsJennifer Aniston states she's been able to "tune out" the "tough and the nasty" headlines and rumors surrounding her separation from Brad Pitt. "There is always going to be the tough and the nasty. You just tune out to that," said Aniston in an interview. The 36-year-old actress said that despite being on the receiving end of some negative headlines over the past year, she feels the public is searching for her. |

The director Doug Liman was warned by the producer, that starring Jolie to be too sexy in on-screen bedroom scenes with Brad Pitt would lead to lose of a large chunk of cinema audience, who admire Aniston. But Liman didn't seem to pay attention to the advice and did very little to maintain his supremacy in the bee-stung-lipped siren.
