Though she has been active since the late eighties, Jennifer Aniston did not gain mainstream recognition until she secured a starring role in “Friends,” at which point her acting career took off. Even before the conclusion of “Friends” in 2004, Aniston had built a lucrative film career, taking on roles in such movies as Office Space, Along Came Polly, Bruce Almighty, and Rock Star. Aniston is regularly featured in men’s magazines as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
