Jennifer Aniston Biography:
Jennifer Aniston makes a good case for proving that acting talent can be absorbed by osmosis. From her father John
Aniston's stardom on Days of Our Lives to her relationship with godfather Telly Savalas, the actress was surrounded by
plenty of inspiration from an early age. As Aniston attended the Rudolph Steiner School as a child, she was interested in
many forms of art and proved to be a talented painter, eventually having one of her pieces displayed at the New York
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Acting also appealed to her, and became her primary focus after graduating from New
York's prestigious High School for the Performing Arts in 1987. She took roles in off-Broadway productions such as +For
Dear Life and +Dancing on Checker's Grave before she began honing her skills in television acting with appearances
on shows like Quantum Leap and Herman's Head. Before long, Aniston's film and television resumé had grown into a
laundry list of one-time appearances, short-lived series, and B-level movies. By 1994, the handful of bit parts and failed
shows on Aniston's resumé had established her as a working actress but created little foreshadowing about her future
as a star. Her upcoming audition for the role of Monica Gellar in a pilot for a sitcom at that point titled "Friends Like
These," however, would prove to be quite auspicious. The role in question would eventually be filled by Courteney Cox
Arquette, as Aniston changed her mind and opted to try out for Rachel Green, a young suburbanite living on her own for
the first time and working as a coffee-shop waitress in New York City. The rest, as they say, is history -- "Friends Like
These" would become Friends, the hugest sitcom in years, quickly making Aniston America's sweetheart. Friends'
obsessive following churned up a particular interest in Aniston's signature hairstyle. The shag cut known as "The
Rachel" could be seen on heads all over the country. Even as the fad fell out of popularity in the salons, Aniston's star
continued to rise. Still adored on one of the most popular television shows in history, she moved to the big screen in
romantic comedies like She's the One (1996), Picture Perfect, 'Til There Was You (1997), and The Object of My
Affection (1998).
In the late '90s, she also began dating actor Brad Pitt. Talk of Pitt's recently ended engagement to actress Gwyneth
Paltrow quickly dissipated as "Gwen and Brad" turned to "Jen and Brad." The two young stars became the ultimate
Hollywood power couple and celebrated with a star-studded wedding in July of 2000. The new millennium found Aniston
at the top of her game. Raking in a million dollars an episode for her role on the still popular Friends and married to one
of the hottest men in Hollywood, she seemed to have it all. Secure in her A-List position, she took the opportunity to
work on low-profile films and cult hits, such as 1999's Office Space, and 2000's Rock Star. Aniston's talent for dramatic
roles was finally given a proper outlet when she played the lead in 2002's The Good Girl, which found critics surprised
and impressed with her range. She made no attempt to shy away from comedy, however, starring alongside Jim Carrey
in Bruce Almighty, and Ben Stiller in 2004's Along Came Polly. In 2004, as Friends began what would be its final season,
Aniston's immediate future was filled with tremendous turmoil and change. Only a week into 2005, she and husband
Brad Pitt legally separated, surrounded by rumors that Pitt had sparked a serious romantic connection with his Mr. and
Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie. The media leapt onto the story, desperate to sate the public's curiosity about how
such a seemingly perfect union could come to an end. Rumors swilled about the circumstances of their break-up, citing
everything from disagreements over children to taste in interior decorating. Aniston's steady poise and willowy figure
created a division in the public perception between herself and the more curvaceous and risqué Jolie.
Media frenzy buzzed around the breakup long after she and Pitt officially filed for divorce in March. Vendors even
started selling T-shirts reading "Team Aniston" and "Team Jolie," though most of the public seemed to side with the
slighted Aniston. The actress plowed ahead, however, marking 2005 by starring with Clive Owen in the gritty thriller
Derailed and with Shirley MacLaine and Kevin Costner in the comedy Rumor Has It.... 2006 brought the ensemble film
Friends With Money, as well as another movie that would help put her divorce in the past...in more ways then one. While
Pitt made headlines by becoming legal guardian of Jolie's adopted children and father to a baby Jolie gave birth to in
Namibia, Aniston starred alongside comedy and character actor extraordinaire Vince Vaughn in The Break-Up. The
comedy cast the two as an ex-couple going to war over which of them should keep their beloved condo, but the real life
connection between the actors was quite the opposite. Though reluctant to speak about their relationship publicly,
Aniston and Vaughn appeared quite clearly to have become a couple, bolstering the success of The Break-Up and
pleasing fans who were relieved to see her happy. Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Aniston Photo
Gossip blogger Perez Hilton is being hauled into court by a
Hollywood movie studio over claims her posted a stolen
topless photograph of Jennifer Aniston on the internet. In a
suit filed on Tuesday in US District Court, Universal City
Studios Productions LLLP claimed the racy snap had been
"misappropriated and illegally copied" during production
or post-production of the 2006 romantic comedy The
Break-Up and posted on website PerezHilton.com by Mario
Lavandeira, a.k.a. Hilton.
The film firm are claiming copyright infringement and
seeking an injunction barring further distribution of the
picture and a court order authorizing the seizure of all
Hilton's material from the film.
It's not the first time Aniston has been the center of a
topless picture scandal - last September the actress and
celebrity photographer Peter Brandt settled a lawsuit
regarding semi-nude photos Brandt shot of her in late 2005.
