Yahoo!'s Web Celeb Jennifer Aniston
|
|
Her famous hairstyle is far from the only thing that has made
Jennifer Aniston popular with thousands of fans. She plays Rachel Green on
the hit series "Friends" and has been in quite a few movies and television
shows since she began her career.
|
|
Jennifer, who is of Greek descent, lived in Greece for a year with her
family when she was young. However, she was raised in New York City as her
father, John Aniston, was a regular on Days of Our Lives for years. Her
father was not the only person in her life who exposed her to show business;
her mother was an actress and model, and her godfather was Telly Savalas.
Jennifer began to encourage her love of the arts by joining the Rudolf
Steiner School’s drama club at the age of 11. She also began painting, and
one of her works was displayed in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
|
Her professional training in drama began when she attended New York’s High
School of Performing Arts. After graduating in 1987, she worked
off-Broadway and appeared in productions such as For Dear Life and Dancing
on Checker’s Grave. After two years of waitressing and participating in the
theater, Aniston found work on several television shows including Ferris
Bueller, The Edge, Muddling Through, Herman’s Head and Molloy.
|
|
It wasn’t until she became Rachel on "Friends" that Jennifer Aniston’s fame
grew, and fan websites sprouted all over the Internet.
|
Jennifer has starred in a number of films, including Picture Perfect, The
Object of My Affection, She’s the One, and ‘Til There Was You. She also
starred in a video tutorial for Windows ’95 along with Matthew Perry, and
has appeared in several magazine ads with her co-stars.
Most recently, Jennifer landed a starring role in the upcoming 20th Century
Fox film Office Space, which will be released in theaters on February 19th,
just eight days after her birthday.
