Aniston
Jennifer Joanna Aniston is an American actress, film director, and producer.
Aniston gained worldwide recognition in the 1990s for portraying Rachel Green on
the television sitcom Friends, a role which earned her an Emmy Award, a Golden
Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Aniston has also enjoyed a
successful Hollywood film career. She gained critical acclaim for her
performances in the independent films She's the One , Office Space , The Good
Girl and Friends with Money . She has had her greatest commercial successes with
the films Bruce Almighty , The Break-Up , Marley & Me , Just Go with It and
Horrible Bosses . Aniston received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on
February 22, 2012.
While appearing on Friends, Aniston also started segueing into film roles. She
made her film debut in 1992's Leprechaun, which was negatively reviewed by
critics, but was commercially successful and gained a cult following. Following
a four year hiatus from cinema, Aniston returned to film work in 1996, when she
played supporting roles in the independent films Dream for an Insomniac, and
She's the One, alongside Edward Burns and Cameron Diaz. Aniston's first starring
vehicle was the film Picture Perfect (1997), in which she starred opposite Kevin
Bacon and Jay Mohr. While the film received mixed reviews, Aniston's performance
was more warmly received, with many critics suggesting that she had screen
presence. During the second half of the 1990s she starred in several films such
as the ensemble romantic film 'Til There Was You with Dylan McDermott and Sarah
Jessica Parker, The Thin Pink Line , the animated feature The Iron Giant , and
the critically acclaimed comedy Office Space . She gained critical acclaim for
her performances in The Object of My Affection , a comedy-drama about a woman
who falls for a gay man (played by Paul Rudd), and in the low-budget 2002 film
The Good Girl, playing an unglamorous cashier in a small town. The latter film
opened in relatively few theaters � under 700 in total � taking $14M in the U.S.
box office.
Aniston's biggest box office success to date was her appearance in 2003's Bruce
Almighty, in which she played the live-in girlfriend of Jim Carrey's title
character. Aniston then starred in the 2004 film Along Came Polly opposite Ben
Stiller. In late 2005, Aniston appeared in two major studio films, Derailed and
Rumor Has It. In 2006, Aniston appeared in the low-budget drama Friends with
Money, which was first shown at the Sundance Film Festival and received a
limited release. Aniston's next film, The Break-Up, which was released on June
2, grossed approximately $39.17 million during its opening weekend, despite
lukewarm reviews. In 2006, Aniston directed a hospital emergency room-set short
film called Room 10, starring Robin Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson as part
of Glamour's Reel Moments film series. Aniston noted that she was inspired to
direct by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who also directed a short film in 2006.
On December 25, 2008, Marley & Me, in which Aniston starred alongside Owen
Wilson, was released. It set a record for the largest Christmas Day box office
ever with $14.75 million in ticket sales. It earned a total of $51.7 million
over the four-day weekend and placed #1 at the box office, a position it
maintained for two weeks. The total worldwide gross was $242,717,113. Her next
film in wide release, He's Just Not That into You, where she starred opposite
Ben Affleck, opened in February 2009. The movie made $178,390,243 globally and
ranked at #1 at the United States box office for its opening weekend. While the
film received mixed reviews, Aniston, along with Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, and
Jennifer Connelly, were often praised by critics as being the stand-outs in the
film.
In March 2010, Aniston appeared in The Bounty Hunter, which costarred Gerard
Butler. While the film received scathing reviews from critics, it was a modest
box office success, garnering over $130 million worldwide. A lukewarm box-office
reception greeted her next film, The Switch, in which she co-starred with Jason
Bateman. The film's opening weekend drew what The Hollywood Reporter dubbed "a
dispiriting $8.4 million". The film received generally mixed reviews, with
review site Metacritic showing 13 out of 30 critics delivering a positive
verdict.
By June 20, 2010, Aniston's movies had grossed more than $1 billion in the
United States and over $1.7 billion worldwide. Aniston's Just Go with It, with
Adam Sandler, was released on Valentine's Day weekend in 2011. The story is
about a plastic surgeon, played by Sandler, who asks his office manager, played
by Aniston, to pose as his wife, to prove his honesty to his much younger
girlfriend, played by Brooklyn Decker. Also in 2011, Aniston starred in the
comedy movie Horrible Bosses, with Colin Farrell, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day,
and Jamie Foxx, directed by Seth Gordon. The film focuses on a trio of employees
who plot to murder their titular tyrannical supervisors. Aniston played one of
the bosses, a sexually aggressive dentist who harasses Charlie Day's character.
In 2012, Aniston appeared in Wanderlust with Paul Rudd, with whom she co-starred
in the 1998 movie The Object of My Affection and also Friends. The script,
bought by Universal Pictures, was written by Rudd, Ken Marino, and David Wain,
with the latter also directing the film, and was produced by Judd Apatow. The
movie was about a married couple who join a commune after losing their money and
deciding modern life is not for them. EUE/Screen Gems Productions is expected to
start work on We're the Millers in summer 2012 in the Wilmington, North
Carolina, area. Aniston and Jason Sudeikis star in the comedy about a drug
dealer with a fake family.
It's hard to believe that someone as leggy and lean as Brooklyn Decker could
have body image issues, but the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl
claims that she was "awestruck" by Just Go With It costar Jennifer Aniston's
body. "She's so active and had to be in a bikini for Just Go With It -- she just
had this glow about her," Decker, 25, said about her 44-year-old costar. "I was
a bit awestruck!"
Decker tells the May/June issue of Women's Health UK, she turned down
opportunities to work out with Aniston while the pair was on-set because she was
too "intimidated."
"I was invited to do yoga with her on set but they had so many good yogis I was
intimidated and chickened out," she told the magazine. Luckily for Decker,
however, her husband, tennis champ Andy Roddick, loves her body just the way it
is.
"The biggest thing for me about being with Andy is that athletes in general tend
to appreciate different things about women's bodies," she said of Roddick, 30.
"They're not so concerned with how someone looks, more about how strong and
healthy they are." And despite flaunting her figure on the cover of numerous
magazines, Decker revealed last year that she's not a fan of being an
exhibitionist anyway.
"The biggest thing is finding that balance between masculine and feminine," the
Battleship actress told FabSugar last spring. "Because I'm such a tomboy, I hate
showing off my body.My stylist is always like, 'You have to show your figure.'"
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were spotted catching some rays and getting
a little shutter-happy in Capri. The fit couple took turns snapping photos of
each other while aboard a luxurious yacht. The 43-year-old actress looked
flawless in a red and black bikini, while longtime beau Theroux showed off his
rock-hard abs.
Since the couple started dating in 2011, engagement rumors have been following
the PDA-prone pair -- who've since come to dress like each other, too. But the
duo haven't done much to keep the rumors at bay. They're often spotted wearing
rings emblazoned with each other's names on that special wedding ring finger.
