Jennifer Aniston
Actor
When the sitcom
Friends hit the airwaves in 1994,
Jennifer Aniston, as the goofy and sexy Rachel, quickly became the show's breakout star. Her distinctively curvy haircut was soon a popular craze, and she was a favorite of tabloids and celebrity gossip columns throughout the show's long run (19942004). She married actor
Brad Pitt in 2000 in a union of Hollywood superstars; they divorced in 2005 amid a flurry of rumors that Pitt had become interested in actress
Angelina Jolie. (The rumors proved true.) Late that year Aniston began dating actor
Vince Vaughn, her costar in the film
The BreakUp (released in 2006). Aniston's feature films include the cult favorite
Office Space (1999), the animated film The Iron Giant (1999, with
Vin Diesel), Rock Star (2000, with
Mark Wahlberg), The Good Girl (2002, with
Jake Gyllenhaal),
Along Came Polly (2004, with
Ben Stiller), the postGraduate comedy
Rumor Has It (2005, with
Kevin Costner) and the ensemble chick flick
Friends With Money (2006).
