Fans of Jennifer Aniston have been obsessed with her bombshell roles, captivating persona on and off screen and her ability to transform into any character. Her role of Rachel Green on Friends comes to mind as one of her most memorable and iconic portrayals. 

The superstar has also become a mainstay of romantic comedy films, made guest appearances on TV shows, and tackled work in a wide variety of genres throughout her career. Born February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California, Jennifer's family moved to New York City when she was a child. She attended Waldorf school as her parents, John Aniston and Nancy Dow were pursuing acting careers of their own. 

At the age of 11, the multitalented performer discovered a passion for acting and enrolled in Manhattan's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, joining the school's drama society. 

Some of the Emmy winner’s first roles took place off-Broadway in shows like For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave. She made her film debut in 1988's Mac and Me, followed by the TV adaptation of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Years later, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Friends came knocking and Jennifer quickly became one of the most popular sitcom stars of all time.

 “I started to find my confidence when I was on Friends, for sure," the film producer told InStyle in August 2019. "In a way, being on that show was the ultimate trust exercise. There was comfort in numbers there, so we all held each other up."
