It explores her evolution as an actress, her high-profile relationships, her battle with public scrutiny, and her eventual transition into a versatile performer and entrepreneur.
September 22, 1994, Rachel Green ran away from her wedding. On that day, Friends' lead actors woke up
famous all over the world. Everyone received the love of the audience and high fees. But
there was one actress among them, the success of which the other friends could not reach.
Jennifer Aniston is a unique personality whose rays of fame continue to shine as
brightly as they did in the late 90s. What did she go through for her career?
Today on the Biographer channel, we will talk about the ups and downs of Jennifer Aniston.
Which role brought her a Golden Raspberry nomination? What was the real reason for
her breakup with Brad Pitt? Why did she not talk with her mother for 15 years?
Get comfortable, and we're starting. CHILDHOOD
Jennifer Joanna Aniston was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California. Her parents
were actors of Greek origin. Jennifer is not the only child in the family. She also has a brother
John, her mother's son from her first marriage. When her father, John Aniston, had a role in the
soap opera Love of Life, the family moved to New York. Jennifer calls the happiest in her
childhood the years of life there. But the relationship between parents
gradually began to deteriorate. Little Jennifer felt responsible
for the atmosphere in the family. "As the years passed, tension came between my mom and dad,
and I'd do funny things to try to bring back the laughter," she recalled. “I guess
I've learned to make a living doing what I did to try to heal myself as a kid”.
Unfortunately, the couple divorced when their daughter was nine years old.
When I was about nine, I came home from a friend's party and my dad wasn't there. Divorce
happens in a lot of families, and I don't want to break out the violins. But that was that.
It greatly affected Jennifer and her views on marriage.
The girl did not see her father for a whole year. It also was hard to communicate with her mother,
Nancy Dow. Jennifer didn't live up to her expectations, especially about looks and glamor.
“...She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I
wasn’t,”...“She was from this world of, ‘Honey, take better care of yourself,’ or ‘Honey,
put your face on,’ or all of those odd sound bites that I can remember from my childhood.”
Her friends became her support team. Moreover, she still communicates with many of them.
“We always joke that we raised each other, we mothered each other, we sistered each other,
we’ve been kids to each other.” Many years later, reflecting on her
relationship with her mother, Jennifer said that she understands how difficult it is to
be a single mother, constantly looking for a way to earn money and support two children.
“My mom said those things because she really loved me. - Aniston admitted in a recent interview. - It
wasn't her trying to be a bitch or knowing she would be making some deep wounds that I would
then spend a lot of money to undo. She did it because that was what she grew up with.”
As a teenager, Jennifer managed to visit her father from time to time in Los Angeles, where
he starred in the TV series Days Of Our Lives. Probably, those trips to the city of angels and
parents-actors influenced her desire to try her hand at the cinema.
At school, she was far from the best student. In one interview,
the actress joked that there was a group of teachers, Anonymous, who hate Jennifer Aniston.
The only thing Jennifer enjoyed was art class. Once, her watercolor was exhibited
at the Metropolitan Museum. She compensated for failures in
her studies with charm and artistry. Jennifer became a member of the Drama
Club of the Rudolf Steiner School when she was eleven years old.
One of the actors who made the biggest impression on her during that period was Laurence Olivier.
Inset quote: “Honestly, I was obsessed [with him] when I was a kid. I just remember being
so enamored of him. I remember thinking, ‘Maybe someday, if I become an actress, I’ll be able
to work with him.’ And I remember the day he died, crying my eyes out.” (Jennifer Aniston)
One day, when Jen was about 13, her father called her to Search for Tomorrow as an extra.
In the middle of the scene, someone from the crew told Jennifer to switch places with another young
extra. Everything happened quickly, and she did not attach any importance to it. On the way home,
her father revealed that the camera wouldn't have filmed Aniston if they hadn't switched places. The
young actress felt terrible, absolutely mortified and humiliated that the poor girl got bumped
because of her, the daughter of the soap star. I still remember walking down Broadway in silence
after he told me. I didn't have that kind of ambition. You know how there are some people
who burn with this feeling of "I'm going to make it"? I never had that. (Jennifer Aniston)
But Jen learned a good lesson: nothing in this world, especially in the film business,
is not given to you just like that. You have to fight for a place in the sun.
After graduating, Jennifer entered Manhattan's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High
School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. When the father learned that his daughter had
chosen his path, he was dismayed. Inset quote: And then he said,
all right. I warned you. His main concern was my heart breaking. Because it can be so hard,
you know, and painful and rejection is not easy.” (Jennifer Aniston)
Aniston was excited and incredibly happy when she finally left her parents' house. According to her,
living with her mother was not completely terrible and unpleasant, but there were
enough problems. Soon their relationship would deteriorate, but for that moment, Jen was taking
the first steps towards her dream. THE BEGINNING OF AN ACTING CAREER
Jennifer Aniston began her acting career at the Public Theatre in 1988. She always
recalls one of her performances. The actress had a scene where she sat, looked at the audience,
and said one line, which always caused laughter. One night as I'm doing it, I realize that I'm
staring straight into this huge, gaping cavern that is the mouth of Al Pacino. He's sitting
in the audience next to Diane Keaton - and he's really laughing. I couldn't believe it.
I made Al Pacino laugh. It was one of the greatest moments I'd ever had. A moment like that can carry
you for a year or two. (Jennifer Aniston) Unfortunately, it was hard to live on just
earnings from theater, so the aspiring actress had to earn extra money wherever she could.
At the age of 20, Jen accidentally found out that she had dyslexia. It is a common
learning disability of neurological origin. It makes it difficult to read,
write, and generally decipher letters. That discovery was life-changing for Jen.
“Until then, I thought I wasn’t smart. I just couldn’t retain anything,” “Now I had this
great discovery. I felt like all of my childhood trauma-dies, tragedies, dramas were explained.”
In the cinema world, Jennifer is not the only one who lives with this diagnosis.
In our other video, we already talked about Keanu Reeves also has dyslexia.
Her first film role did not even mention Aniston in the credits. Jen starred in the
sci-fi adventure film Mac and Me. The following year, she was on The Howard
Stern Show as a spokesperson for Nutrisystem. There were no more exciting roles in the theater,
and after two years of work in New York, Jennifer moved to Los Angeles.
In 1989, she began to appear on television, but, as usual, the first projects were not particularly
successful. The sitcoms Molloy and Ferris Bueller did not gain popularity. At the same time,
when Ferris Bueller failed, Aniston's fleeting romance with her colleague on the series,
Charlie Schletter, also ended. He played the younger brother of Jen's character.
After a minor role in the television film Camp Cucamonga, Jennifer got into the 1993
horror film Leprechaun. Although the film received negative reviews at first, later,
it became a cult classic. In 2014, Entertainment Weekly named Jennifer's role in Leprechaun her
worst role. Jennifer is also not thrilled with her character because years later, in a relationship
with Justin Theroux, she was very embarrassed when her fiancé stumbled upon this film on TV.
Inset quote: “He was flipping through the channels, and he stumbled upon that. And that was
our next two hours, much to my embarrassment.” But, after the release of this film, casting
directors began to notice Jen more often. She appeared in a couple of TV shows, after which she
got the role that made her famous worldwide. RACHEL GREEN
Initially, Friends creators wanted Jennifer to audition for the role of Monica Geller. But
after reading the script, Aniston realized that she only wanted to be Rachel and no one else.
But everything turned out that way because, at the same time, Courteney Cox was going to try for the
role of Rachel. She also got acquainted with the script and realized Monica was closer to her.
But even though Jennifer was one of the main contenders for the role,
it was not easy for her to get it. At that time, the actress starred in the not-so-successful CBS
series Muddling Through. Feeling that the new project would change her life, Jennifer,
almost in tears, begged the producers of NBC to do something so that she could participate
in Friends. They took her, but Jennifer starred in the pilot without the certainty
that she would remain in the project, since she continued to work on Muddling Through.
And then NBC specifically put Danielle Steel's film, at the same time, as Aniston's show. Thus,
its ratings literally killed and provided the actress with participation in Friends.
Maybe, this will disappoint someone, but the actors do not share the fan
love for the Friends' intro. When the lead six were confirmed,
the show's director, Jimmy Burrows, or as Jennifer affectionately
calls him Papa, took them to Las Vegas. Inset quote: “He took us out to dinner and said,
"You don't know what you're about to embark on. You better take care of each other." We had no
idea what he was talking about. Then he gave us each $500 and said, "Enjoy it. This is the last
time you'll be able to walk through a casino without being bothered." (Jennifer Aniston)
They dined at the Spago inside Caesar's Palace to enjoy "one last chance at anonymity". It is
symbolic that after six years, the actors returned there to shoot the wedding of Rachel and Ross.
Papa wasn't wrong. The sitcom was released in 1994 and received good reviews and solid
ratings. And the actors who played the iconic six woke up famous. Simple at first glance,
the idea to show the life of young friends living in New York resonated with the audience.
“That first year, we shot to number one in summer reruns. - Jennifer recalls. - People came over to
me at a drugstore one day and said, "We've been following you for blocks and just wanted to know
if it was you, and could we have your autograph?" I'm standing there with toilet paper under one arm
and tampons under another, and I say, "Sure." Millions of women have tried to copy Rachel
Green's famous hairstyle. Very ironic, Jennifer herself was far from enthusiastic about it. This
them everywhere. Everyone wanted to know where Rachel Green dined and with whom she slept.
Even after years of working on the project, fame will shock the actress. It will still
be difficult for her to come to terms with the phenomenal popularity of Friends, even though
Jennifer grew up in the world of actors. Aniston admits that one of the things that
helped her cope with stress and not go crazy was her communication with her mother. Jennifer never
lost heart or lashed out in public, as she grew up watching her mother sit comfortably
in victimhood and didn't like how it looked. Inset quote: "I knew that this person was giving
me an example of what I’d never want to be, and I will never ever be that."(Jennifer Aniston)
Her relationship with her mother got worse and worse every year and finally deteriorated when,
in 1996, Nancy gave a frank interview to the tabloid show Hard Copy, where she
colorfully described her life with Jennifer. But the last straw for Aniston was a book called
From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir, which Nancy Dow wrote in 1999. They say that
after that, Jennifer stopped communicating with her mother for as much as 15 years.
Lisa Kudrow recalled: When we started shooting that first season, Jimmy said, “Use my dressing
room to hang out.” Because it was bigger… We needed to hang out, get to know each other,
and bond as quickly as possible, because that’s the only way that the show was going to work.”
They dined together after work, had lunch during breaks, and played poker and other games.
Inset quote: We had the other five, like a very protective cocoon. (David Schwimmer)
At some point, the actors also decided to deal with finance together, creating something like
a small trade union. Initially, they received a different amount, but when it came time to renew
their contracts, the actors decided that it would be fair if all six friends had the same fees.
After the fifth season, they each started receiving $100,000 per episode. In the final
season, it rose to $1 million per episode. Thus, Aniston, along with Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox,
got into the Guinness Book of Records as the highest-paid television actress of all time.
Their efforts were appreciated not only by the audience but also by critics. Jen's first major
award was the Screen Actors Guild Award. The actress was nominated five times for an Emmy
even proposed to her, and Aniston said yes. But the preparation was delayed, and at some point,
the actress decided to part with her fiancé. Aniston was not limited to Friends alone. Between
the filming, she found time to work on movies. But, the experiments were not always successful.
For her role in the 1996 film She's the One, Jennifer received a Golden Raspberry
nomination in the Worst New Star category. Because of her role in Friends, the actress
was mostly offered roles in comedies such as Dream for an Insomniac and Til There Was You.
In 1997, Jennifer received her first major role in the romantic comedy Picture Perfect.
The film received mixed reviews, but Aniston was rated positively.
The melodrama The Object of My Affection was also criticized. On the set, Jen began
an affair with a colleague, Paul Rudd. The couple went out several times but pretty soon broke up.
Despite the separation, they managed to maintain friendly relations and later played together in
Friends, as well as in Wanderlust (2012). Aniston's acting breakthrough can be considered
her work in the independent dramedy The Good Girl in 2002. There she threw away the image of
The Girl Next Door that stuck to her and embodied a thirty-year-old woman in depression who cheats
on her husband. The film had a limited release but was received very positively by critics.
For example, Roger Ebert wrote: “After languishing in a series of overlooked movies
that ranged from the entertaining Office Space to the disposable Picture Perfect,
Jennifer Aniston has at last decisively broken with her Friends image in an independent film
of satiric fire and emotional turmoil. It will no longer be possible to consider
her in the same way. “ Jennifer's nominations at
the Film Independent Spirit Awards and Satellite Awards were great bonuses.
In 2003, Jennifer was lucky enough to become the girl of God. Well, to be more precise, the
girlfriend of the interim God. Of course, we are talking about Bruce Almighty and her role of kind,
sympathetic Grace. The film was a success at the box office. Despite mixed reviews from critics,
It eventually became a classic. Jen received a Teen Choice Awards nomination for Choice Comedy
Actress and, along with Jim Carrey, was nominated for Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards.
Aniston's personal life developed no less rapidly than her career.
In 1998, Jennifer's agent arranged for her to date Brad Pitt. So one of the brightest couples
of those times appeared. BITTERSWEET END
For the first time, the actors met in the early 90s. But both at that time had relationships
with others and were not interested in each other. Only a blind date, organized many
years later, helped them get closer. Their relationship developed rapidly,
but the couple officially confirmed their dating a year later. For the first time,
the lovers appeared together in public during the Emmy ceremony in September
1999. A few months later, they took the stage at a Sting concert. There, viewers could see
the engagement ring on Jen's hand for the first time. It was made according to Brad's sketch.
Pitt was happy to say in an interview that his fiancée is the woman of his
life. He also noted that when he saw Jen for the first time, he realized that she
was created for him. They became one of the most beloved and brightest couples in Hollywood.
In 2002, Aniston and Pitt formed the production company Plan B
Entertainment with producer Brad Grey. Inset quote: We started this little company
underground, didn't really talk about it because we didn't want to be accused
of being actors who have vanity deals where you don't do anything. We wanted
to do something first. (Jennifer Aniston) Things soon went like clockwork, and by 2004
the company had 17 films in production, including Troy and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
When Jennifer was asked about whether it is hard to be in a relationship with a star,
being no less famous, she answered: Inset quote: “It's a challenge. When you
have that much energy coming at two people, whether wanting them to fall apart or wanting
them to be happy, it's hard. It can mess with your mind, you know? And you've just
got to stay grounded.”(Jennifer Aniston) Aniston has always insisted that they are the
most ordinary lovers, just like the others. And when they were called one of the sexiest couples
in Hollywood, Pitt and Jen just laughed. Inset quote: “Oh, we are such goobers, it's
ridiculous. We're probably two of the unsexiest people on the planet most of the time. “
On July 29, 2000, these unsexiest people got married. The event was held in a mansion in
Malibu and was one of the most expensive at that time. The couple paid almost a million dollars
to celebrate their wedding. Despite the scale and publicity in the media, there are almost no photos
from the event on the network. Eyewitnesses say that the location was decorated with
50,000 flowers, and fireworks cost $20,000. They gave the wedding vows playfully. Jen
promised to always make Pitt's favorite banana smoothie, and Pitt promised to find balance on
the thermostat. By the way, Jennifer did not invite her mother to the wedding. Apparently,
she did not want to spoil the event with toxic showdowns.
The couple spent their honeymoon in Seychelles. Upon their return, they gladly equipped
their mansion in Beverly Hills. “Brad and I used to joke that every
piece of furniture was either a museum piece or just uncomfortable,” Jen said,
“He definitely had his sense of style, and I definitely have my sense of style, and sometimes
I was dealing with. I wanted it to end when people still loved us, and we were on a high.
And then I also felt - was feeling - like how much more of Rachel do I have in me?
What more is there to - what more - how many more stories are there to tell for all of us before
we're just now pathetic?” (Jennifer Aniston) Only when the creators reduced the number of
episodes from 24 to 18, she agreed to appear in the final season.
The sitcom finale was released on May 6, 2004. In the US, it was watched by 52.5 million viewers,
making it the most-watched entertainment TV show since the Seinfeld finale in 1998.
Each actor took home a piece of the iconic café when the series ended. They took a piece
of the fake sidewalk outside Central Perk. “There are people who say that watching Friends
has saved them during a cancer diagnosis, or so many people with just so much gratitude for a
little show,” Aniston said years later with tears in her eyes, “We really loved each other, and
we took care of each other. I don't know why it still resonates; there are no iPhones. It's just
people talking to each other. Nobody talks to each other any more.”
Having finished a long-term project, Jennifer wanted to take a break from filming and admitted
that she was already ready for children. Inset quote: “The first thing I'm going to
do is have a vacation. I'm going to see as much of the world as possible before
I have a baby." (Jennifer Aniston) But fate had other plans for her.
On January 7, 2005, like a bolt from the blue, there was news that one of the most beautiful
couples in Hollywood was breaking up. The fans were shocked and disappointed. And the media
was already trumpeting that Angelina Jolie was the reason for the divorce. They met Pitt on
the set of the spy drama Mr and Mrs Smith. The details of the break are still unknown.
There is a version that the relationship between Pitt and Aniston began to deteriorate even before
the film, and acquaintance with Jolie only brought Brad closer to the decision that he
had been considering for a long time. Adherents of this version found out some
interviews with Jen, dating back to 2003, where she casually admitted that she was not completely
sure that Pitt was the love of her life. But she also said she knows they have "something
special." Skeptics said that Brad and Jen are too different to build a long-term relationship.
Others believe it was a perfect marriage, and Pitt's meeting with Angelina spoiled
everything. Moreover, even before meeting Pitt, Jolie had a reputation as a woman
capable of stealing someone's boyfriend. But what really happened? What do you
think is the reason for their separation? Fatal beauty Angie, or incompatibility of
characters? Share your opinion in the comments. One way or another, it was very difficult for Jen.
She stayed at a house in Malibu, in the company of her old dog named Norman. The actress did not
read the news and did not turn on the TV. Jennifer did her best to protect herself from the outside
world, annoying the media and fans who were eager to delve into the dirty laundry of celebrities and
find out the details of the divorce. The fans divided into those who were on
Jennifer's side, and those who justified Pitt and Jolie. It got to the point that T-shirts with the
inscriptions "Team Aniston" and "Team Jolie" went on sale. They bought the first ones more often,
with a difference of 25 to 1. But, to be honest, this was a little consolation for Jen.
The paparazzi, whom she once called “rats,” literally hunted her down to capture a lonely and
“abandoned” woman on camera. The craziest theories were in the tabloids at that time. For example,
one could find an assumption that Pitt broke up with Jen because of her unwillingness to
have children. Even though quite recently, in an interview, the actress announced her
readiness to give birth to a child. “A man divorcing would never be accused
of choosing a career over children,” Jennifer resented in a candid interview with Vanity
Fair. - “That really pissed me off. I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children.
I did and I do and I will! The women that inspire me are the ones who have careers and children;
why would I want to limit myself? I've always wanted to have children,
and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.”
The couple said they were parting friends, maintaining mutual respect and love. But it
was not easy, since in the same 2005, pictures of Brad with Angelina and her son Maddox on the
beach in Kenya appeared in magazines. And already in 2006, Jolie and Pitt announced
that they were expecting a baby. Inset quote: “The world was shocked,
and I was shocked.” (Jen Aniston) “It was extremely hurtful to Jen that he
was seen with another woman so quickly after they were separated,” said Andrea Bendewald,
an actress who has been one of Aniston's closest friends since she was a teenager.
Sessions with a psychotherapist and yoga helped Jennifer to cope with divorce.
Her friends really supported the actress in hard times.
Inset quote: My girlfriends I've had for 20 years. When things happen, the tribe gathers around and
lifts you up. I've had lonely moments, sure, but I'm also enjoying being alone. There's no question
it takes getting used to; I’m a partnership person, and if something happens your instinct is
to share it—but you’re no longer part of a couple. I definitely miss that. (Jennifer Aniston)
It felt like she needed to learn how to walk again. She should get used to being alone again.
But Jen struggled to see the glass half full. Inset quote: “Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes.
Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself?
Absolutely. But I'm also doing really well,” she says. “I’ve got an unbelievable support team, and
I’m a tough cookie.… I believe in therapy; I think it's an incredible tool in educating the self on
the self. I feel very strong. I'm really proud of how I've conducted myself.” (Jennifer Aniston)
2005 was an awful year for Aniston, not only in her personal life, but also in her career.
The actress again tried to get out of the role of a sweet girl, but not very successfully. The
crime thriller Derailed with Clive Owen was negatively received by critics. The audience
was also not enthusiastic. Another film of that year was the family drama, Rumor Has It. Alas,
the film received negative reviews and became a box office bomb, grossing $88.9
million against its $70 million budget. The next year was a little easier. The
comedy melodrama The Break Up was released. In the film, Jennifer's
character tried to sort out a relationship with her husband. It’s ironic, right?
Critics again did not appreciate the project, but the audience, judging by the box office,
was satisfied. The film grossed over $205 million worldwide at a cost of $52 million.
Together with Vince Vaughn, Jennifer received the Teen Choice award in the
Choice Movie - Chemistry category. The chemistry between the characters flowed smoothly into the
romance between the actors. Fans even gave the couple the name Vaugniston and compared
them with Brangelina. But, Vaugniston did not last long. Almost immediately after filming,
the couple broke up. Either the heart wounds from parting with Pitt were still too fresh,
or the actors confused the movie with reality. It also happens.
While her ex-husband shone at all events with his new wife and rapidly was getting children,
Aniston plunged into healing work. Basically, Jen chose the usual,
reliable comedies and melodramas, in which she, of course, was great.
One of her most popular films of those years was the family tragicomedy Marley
and Me. The film is about a couple who get a dog to see if they are ready to have a baby.
But they come across the most unbearable dog of all possibles. The dog Marley was
played by as many as 22 different dogs. Inset quote: “You know, they always say,
‘whatever you do, don’t work with babies and animals”’...”We’ve got babies. We've
got puppies. We've got grown-up dogs. We've got old dogs.... It's been a ball and nothing
but fun.” (Jen Aniston) -Jennifer recalled.
Since both Owen Wilson, who played Jen's on-screen husband, and Aniston herself are avid dog lovers
in real life, they brought their pets, Garcia and Norman, to the set every day. Aniston's dog
made its first cameo appearance during the film's beach scene. In addition to Norman, Jennifer had
another dog named Dolly. The actress found the animal shortly after breaking up with Pitt at a
Mexican animal shelter and took it for herself. Interestingly, in Metro's "20 movies that make
men cry" poll, Marley & Me took 5th place. “You think it’s a kids’ movie or a dog movie, but
it’s a lot more than that - reflected Jennifer, “I made that assumption until I had my heart ripped
out. It's marriage. It's children. It's a career. It's ego. It's success versus failure. All of
these things that I think universally affect people at some point in a relationship.”
Jen was nominated for the Kids' Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards.
In 2008, the actress began a relationship with John Mayer. According to the musician, it was not
a fleeting romance. He had feelings for Jennifer. But, apparently, not so serious, since the singer
started an affair while on vacation in Mexico, and Jennifer found out about it. John asked for
forgiveness, but Aniston could not forgive him. Meanwhile, Jennifer healed heart wounds
with the help of movies. In 2010, she appeared as a
guest star in the TV series Cougar Town, where her friend Courteney Cox had the lead role.
The actresses continue their close relationship after the end of Friends.
Jennifer even became the godmother of Courtney's daughter Coco. The two have gone through failed
marriages and ups and downs in their careers, but they still continue to support each other.
Inset quote: "There's absolutely no judgment in Court. You'll never feel scolded. She's extremely
fair, ridiculously loyal and fiercely loving. I've slept in her guest bedroom a lot. Without
giving away too much of my private stuff, all I can say is she's been there for me through
thick and thin." (Jennifer Aniston)
