Jennifer Aniston's first roles
Jennifer first appeared on television at the very end of the 80s. Unlike the vast majority of aspiring actresses, Aniston did not have to go through all the circles of Hollywood hell: after participating in Howard Stern’s radio show and a role in the low-grade comedy series “Molloy”, she made her debut in a feature film (“Camp Cucamonga”, 1990), after which was followed by the main role in the horror film “Leprechaun”. This horror film became an unconditional success for the newly created Trimark film studio, and Jennifer received her first dose of fame.

Jennifer Aniston's success. "Friends"
In 1994, NBC launched a new comedy project about the everyday life of young New Yorkers, filled with the most unexpected moments, funny and tragic. By the time filming of the pilot began, the creators of the show had already formed an opinion about what the main characters of the sitcom should be like. It is noteworthy that initially they wanted to take Courteney Cox for the role of Rachel, and Aniston for the role of Monica. But while working on the first episode, the women realized that they simply had to switch characters. Thus were born the iconic images of the rich “princess” Rachel Green, looking for her place in the new world of adulthood and independent life, and Monica Geller, the former “ugly duckling” and now a purposeful chef.
After Friends, Jennifer Aniston became the idol of an entire generation. At that time, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer were practically unknown to anyone. The producers of the series tried to capitalize on the popularity of Courteney Cox, but after the very first episodes there was no need for this - NBC viewers vied with each other to discuss the details of each new episode. The “Jennifer Aniston haircut” – straight, silky-smooth hair – instantly became fashionable. By the way, this hairstyle was “born” completely by accident - while preparing the actress for filming, one of the stylists accidentally chopped off a curl of her hair and was forced to urgently correct his mistake, without even realizing that he was creating a new fetish for millions of girls around the world.
The role of Rachel brought Jennifer Aniston five Emmy nominations in the category “Best Actress in a Comedy Series” and one victory. The secret of Jennifer Aniston’s success was seen in 10 seasons of the series. During this time, the actors managed to have affairs and break off relationships countless times, get a job and quit, quarrel and make peace... Alas, all good things come to an end, and he waited for “Friends” in 2004. “It really tormented us. We were like a Chinese porcelain vase that was thrown into a brick wall,” Aniston sadly told reporters. However, for each episode of the tenth season, each of the six main actors was paid a million dollars, which slightly smoothed out the depressed mood of the actors.
Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green During the 10 years of filming Friends, Jennifer Aniston did not ignore other directors' offers. The actress’s type was especially loved by the creators of romantic comedies: “The Prince of Dreams” (1996), “Portrait of Perfection” (1997), “Office Space” (1999). In 2001, Jennifer Aniston played a tormented workhorse in the drama The Good Girl, which was highly acclaimed at the Sundance Independent Film Festival.
A still from the film “The Good Girl” In 2003, the comedy “Bruce Almighty” was released with Jim Carrey in the title role. The famous comedian received literally divine powers at his disposal, and Jennifer Aniston played the love of his life.
The following year, viewers appreciated the acting duo of Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller in the romantic comedy Here Comes Polly. Stiller transformed into a down-at-heel office worker, and Jennifer into a crazy, extreme beauty.
The year 2005 was marked by the release of the film Rumor Has It, where Mark Ruffalo and Kevin Costner fought for the heart of Aniston’s heroine. The role in the thriller “The Price of Betrayal”, released the same year, with Clive Owen and Vincent Cassel, was radically different from the actress’s usual work. Moreover, this film was her debut in this genre, and she had not yet worked with Owen. But there is a first time for everything, and Aniston brilliantly coped with a new role for her. The best films with Jennifer Aniston In 2006, the actress herself directed her first short film called “Room 10,” where Robert Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson played. The girl noted that her first work was inspired by the directorial experience of Gwyneth Paltrow. In 2008, the touching melodrama “Marley and Me” premiered, where Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson played a married couple. Although Aniston’s age was approaching the dreaded 40, she turned into a young girl extremely convincingly.
Jennifer Aniston in the movie "Marley and Me" Jennifer Aniston's next acting job was a romantic comedy called "Promising Doesn't Mean Marrying." In the first weekend alone, the film starring Hollywood's biggest stars - Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Bradley Cooper - grossed almost $30 million and took a leading position in the box office rankings. In 2010, the romantic comedy “Pretend to Be My Wife” premiered. Jennifer Aniston convincingly portrayed the secretary of a successful plastic surgeon-heartthrob (Adam Sandler), who asked the girl to pretend to be his vulgar ex-wife in front of yet another beauty who fell for his charms.
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler starred together a lot, and for the summer of 2011, the release of the comedy “Horrible Bosses” was planned, where Jennifer played a sexually anxious female dentist. And in the fall of the same year, the film “Wanderlust” by Devil Wayne was released. The film was about a couple of downshifters who decided to move from the metropolis to the countryside. Viewers also remember the comedy “We’re the Millers,” where Aniston appeared in the role of the fake wife of a small-time drug dealer. The famous scene with Jennifer Aniston (“We’re the Millers”) At times, Jennifer Aniston was the only lifesaver for mediocre comedies like “The Bounty Hunter” (2010) or “Steal My Wife” (2013), and the directors exploited the image of the “naive fool” without hesitation. But sometimes he gave way to deeper works, such as Claire Bennet in the drama Cake. In the story, Aniston's heroine, a disfigured disabled girl, ponders the meaning of life and tries to decide to commit suicide. Although the film itself did not make a strong impression on the audience, Aniston’s performance about, “For me, Jennifer Aniston’s talent sparkled with a new color after this film.”

Personal life of Jennifer Aniston
From the very first rays of her fame, Jennifer Aniston was admired by millions, but her relationships with men for a long time did not develop in the best way.
At the dawn of her career, Jennifer Aniston dated musician Adam Duritz, after which she tried to build happiness with actor Tate Donovan.
In the photo: young Jennifer Aniston and Tate Donovan The actress had a serious and most discussed relationship in the press with Brad Pitt. The couple got married in the summer of 2000 in Malibu. They were honestly called the most beautiful couple in Hollywood, but after five years the couple separated. The insidious homewrecker turned out to be the fatal beauty Angelina Jolie, whom the actor met on the set of the film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” After the divorce, many Jennifer haters insisted that Brad Pitt left Aniston because the girl did not want to disfigure herself by having children, but Jolie, on the contrary, was not against having offspring.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up in 2005. Jennifer was very painful about the divorce and for a long time could not forget her ex-husband, although they parted as friends. The only thing they could do to distract the girl was yoga classes, which helped her “let off steam.” After the divorce, Aniston tried to build a relationship with actor Vince Vaughn, and then with John Mayer. And in 2010, the media began to exaggerate the actress’s relationship with her colleague in the film “The Bounty Hunter”, Gerard Butler.
Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler dated for a short time. When the affair with Butler turned out to be doomed to failure, Aniston gave vent to her feelings. “Why does everyone label me 'poor lonely Jen'? I'm quite happy in love! Yes, my life cannot be called ordinary - there is no husband, children and a house bought on credit. And what? This is my life, it suits me, and if you don’t like something, you don’t have to watch it,” she addressed spiteful critics during an interview.

Unexpectedly, the affair with the 42-year-old actor and screenwriter outgrew ordinary flirting between colleagues on the set. Very soon, Theroux left his common-law wife, with whom he had been in a relationship for 14 years, and moved in with Aniston.

For the sake of her lover, Jen took a year-long break from work and completely surrendered to the feelings that consumed her. The couple purchased a love nest worth $21 million, and in 2012, Theroux proposed marriage to Aniston.

“I think our bodies are beautiful.” And you should feel comfortable in them, no matter what age you are. There is no need to be ashamed or embarrassed about your body, says Aniston.
The actress pays a lot of attention to her form: training for her is as much a part of daily self-care as showering or makeup. Of course, at 50, she feels age-related changes, but they are not so radical yet.
“I feel like an ordinary Jennifer,” she says about how she feels at 50. “True, sometimes I can’t jump off the couch like I used to.” I had several knee injuries. Sometimes you want to do something faster, but your body says, “Oh, no, don’t.” Basically my body feels better than ever. I train four or five days a week. I often train with Leyon - he is my favorite boxing trainer. He was the one who instilled in me a love for fitness that I never had before. Now I look forward to every workout.

Despite rumors that the actress has resumed her relationship with ex-husband Brad Pitt and is dating him again, Jennifer is in no hurry to confirm this news. In the interview, Aniston hinted that she is now single and open to new relationships. When asked if she had tried dating through dating sites or apps, she just laughed in response:
“No, to be honest, I don’t have time for this,” the actress admitted. “I’m too focused on work, so dating is not among my priorities.” But if this happens, if love knocks on my door, I will only welcome it. It’s not like I’m completely done with it and I’m saying, “No, this will never happen again.” I had a difficult past, but it didn’t create a wall around me, I didn’t hide in a shell.

— I've known Mr. Sandler for 30 years. And he always takes care of every participant in the filming process. But we worked in Italy last summer, and it was terrible. While our family was on Lake Como enjoying the holidays, we had to go to work every day,” she laughs. “I’ve never acted in detective stories before, but I’ve always loved watching them.” I love Agatha Christie and all those old school classics.
