Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston

Birth Date: February 11, 1969
Birth Place: Sherman Oaks, Calif.

Jennifer Aniston catapulted into stardom as spoiled-but-lovable Rachel Green on the hit TV series Friends. "The Rachel," her layered haircut during the show's second season, sparked a nationwide trend and transformed Aniston into a style icon.

In 2000, she married heartthrob Brad Pitt, but filed for divorce four and a half years later. When reports emerged of Pitt's romance with Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie, Aniston earned admiration from fans for her poise and resilience. But, she quickly rebounded with The Break-Up costar Vince Vaughn. Although the pair has since split up, Friends costar Courteney Cox Arquette still says of her real-life best friend, "It's impossible not to like this girl."
