Actress Jennifer Aniston is loved by millions
Even 16 years after its final episode, Friends remains one of the most beloved TV shows ever. The story of six friends living in Manhattan captured the hearts of millions worldwide.
Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green—the runaway bride who joins the group—became a global star thanks to this role.
Rachel was a breakthrough for Aniston, but she later admitted it was both a blessing and a curse, as people struggled to see her beyond the character. Despite that, she went on to become Hollywood’s highest-paid actress, known for her talent, charm, and down-to-earth nature.
Daughter of actor John Aniston, she didn’t have an easy start. Before Friends, she worked as a waitress and telemarketer, and starred in several failed shows. When Friends finally aired, director Jimmy Burrows told the cast they were about to experience something life-changing—and he was right.
Aniston’s personal life also attracted attention, especially her marriage to Brad Pitt, which ended after five years. Despite fans’ hopes for a reunion, she moved on and focused on her career.
She’s since used her platform to speak out about the pressures women face in the industry. In a Huffington Post essay, she criticized media obsession with appearance. Recently, she’s embraced natural beauty, posting makeup-free photos on Instagram to inspire self-acceptance.
In her film Cake, she felt empowered by playing a raw, unfiltered role. Jennifer Aniston continues to be a role model for women everywhere, showing that true beauty comes from within.
