After living in Greece with her family as a young child, Jennifer's parents got divorced, forcing Jennifer to live with her mother in New York City as of age 9.
jennifer aniston is rachel on friends...
By the time the pilot for a new NBC show called Friends came along in 1994, Jennifer was trying to make her mark in Hollywood. But with the 1993 bomb Leprechaun as the biggest credit on her resume, Jennifer had nothing to lose and auditioned for Friends. The producers originally wanted Aniston to audition for the role of neurotic chef Monica Gellar, but Jennifer thought she was more of a "Rachel Green" -- and she was right. The role of Monica went to fellow hottie Courteney Cox.
When Aniston first appeared in the pilot (which was called Friends Like Us) as a runaway bride, she was also starring in a show called Muddling Through... but we don't need to tell you what happened to that one.

Friends became a huge hit as part of NBC's "Must-See TV" lineup, and the six cast members became TV's hottest stars. Thanks to the "Ross and Rachel" plot and of course, Jennifer's haircut, which became known as "The Rachel," Jennifer Aniston became a household name (and haircut).
Jennifer Aniston websites and shrines cropped up all over the Internet, dedicated to the gorgeous actress. Aniston's other "digital" gigs include an appearance on the Microsoft Windows 95 Video Guide, with co-star Matthew Perry, and a role on an interactive CD-ROM directed by Steven Spielberg and co-starring Quentin Tarantino, entitled Steven Spielberg's Director's Chair (1996).

In the meantime, Aniston's star rose to the stratosphere when she and Brad Pitt appeared together at awards shows and premieres. Although she had already been romantically linked to Counting Crows' lead vocalist Adam Duritz and actor Tate Donovan, her relationship with Pitt made Jennifer and Brad one of Hollywood's "It" couples.
On July 29, 2000, Jennifer and Brad exchanged vows at a Malibu estate, in a million-dollar wedding that was hailed as "the showbiz wedding of the year."

In 2004, Jennifer co-starred with Ben Stiller in the romantic comedy Along Came Polly, proving once again that although she was the least known of her Friends co-stars when the show debuted in 1994, Aniston is without a doubt the star who will have a career after Friends.
Speaking of the hit NBC show, after the highly-publicized negotiations that featured an "all for one" strategy, the six cast members were each locked into a contract that garnered them a $1 million-per-episode paycheck. But after a 10-season run on NBC, the cast of Friends finally said goodbye on May 6, 2004. After two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nod for the role of Rachel, Jennifer finally took home both trophies in 2002 and 2003 (respectively).

Life after Friends will certainly still be busy for Jennifer: not only can she work on Plan B Productions, the production company she and Brad founded, but she can also move on to more film work.
In the meantime, look for Aniston to star in 2005's Rumor Has It, Derailed and Diary, and 2006's Friends with Money and Gambit.
In January 2005, Jennifer and Brad announced that they are separating, after more than four years of marriage. Although their marital troubles made headlines, the real reason behind their separation is still unknown.
