Who Is Jennifer Aniston?

Jennifer Aniston is an American actress and producer best known for playing Rachel Green on the NBC sitcom Friends, a role she held for all ten seasons from 1994 to 2004. The part made her a global star, won her an Emmy Award in 2002 and a Golden Globe in 2003, and turned Rachel’s layered haircut into one of the most copied styles of the decade. By the final two seasons, Aniston and her five co-stars were each earning $1 million per episode, a record for television comedy at the time.

After Friends, Aniston built a film career as a reliable romantic-comedy lead, starring in Office Space, Bruce Almighty, Along Came Polly, The Break-Up, Marley & Me, Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers. She earned some of the strongest reviews of her career for the independent drama Cake in 2014, which brought her a Golden Globe nomination. Since 2019 she has starred in and executive-produced The Morning Show, playing news anchor Alex Levy, a performance that earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2020. Her marriage to Brad Pitt, from 2000 to 2005, made the pair one of the most famous couples of their era, and she remains one of the most followed and most written-about stars in the world.

Jennifer Aniston’s Early Life & Background

Jennifer Joanna Aniston was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, a neighbourhood of Los Angeles, California. Her father was the Greek-born actor John Aniston, who played Victor Kiriakis on the soap opera Days of Our Lives for nearly four decades, and her mother was the actress Nancy Dow. The family moved to New York City when Jennifer was a child, and she grew up in Manhattan, attending the Rudolf Steiner School and later the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where she studied drama. Her godfather was the Kojak star Telly Savalas, a close friend of her father’s.

After graduating, Aniston worked in off-Broadway plays and took jobs as a waitress and a telemarketer while she auditioned. Her first television roles came in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the short-lived sitcoms Molloy and Ferris Bueller. She moved back to Los Angeles, where she appeared in the comedy series The Edge before auditioning for a new NBC sitcom about six young friends in Manhattan. She was cast as Rachel Green, the runaway bride who becomes a waitress at Central Perk, and Friends premiered in September 1994.

Jennifer Aniston’s Career

Friends ran for 236 episodes and became one of the most successful sitcoms in television history, making Aniston a household name around the world. While the show was still running, she began building a film career, with early hits including the cult comedy Office Space in 1999, the indie drama The Good Girl in 2002, and the blockbuster Bruce Almighty in 2003 opposite Jim Carrey. After Friends ended in 2004, she headlined a string of hit comedies, among them Along Came Polly, Rumor Has It, The Break-Up, Marley & Me, He’s Just Not That Into You, The Switch, Just Go With It and Horrible Bosses, in which she played a memorably unhinged dentist.

Her 2014 drama Cake, in which she played a woman living with chronic pain, was a turning point, earning her Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Critics’ Choice nominations and proving her dramatic range. She returned to series television in 2019 with The Morning Show on Apple TV+, which she also executive-produces through her company Echo Films, co-founded with Kristin Hahn. The show has run for multiple seasons and earned Aniston some of the best reviews of her career.
