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 her The Break-Up costar Vince Vaughn and younger heartthrob John Mayer. Although both romances fizzled, Friends costar and BFF Courteney Cox Arquette still says, "It's impossible not to like this girl."

  Friends quickly inspired an obsessive following, as did Aniston's signature hairstyle. Just as "The Rachel" fell out of popularity in the salons, Aniston began scoring roles in a series of romantic comedies -- namely, She's the One (1996), Picture Perfect (1997), 'Til There Was You (1997), and The Object of My Affection(1998) -- and met fellow actor Brad Pitt. Gwen and Brad quickly turned to Jen and Brad, and the two young stars took their place among Hollywood's elite power couples after their marriage in 2000.In January 2005, the couple announced that after 4 1/2 years of marriage, they were to seperate. Divorce papers were filed on March 25th by Jennifer, citing irreconcilable differences with Brad. The two remain co-owners of the Plan B production company with producer Brad Grey.

  Needless to say, Aniston had gained an astounding amount of notoriety since her fledgling film debut in 1993's Leprechaun, and starred in director Stephen Herek's Rock Star in 2000 after a relatively well-received supporting role in 1999's Office Space. Though Rock Star was far from a massive success, Aniston's talent for dramatic roles was finally given a proper outlet, and she went on to land the lead part in 2002's The Good Girl. In 2003, Aniston starred alongside Jim Carrey in the romantic comedy Bruce Almighty, which became the years most watched comedy, and Friends began its final season.

  In January of 2004, Aniston stared in the number 1 comedy in America. Along Came Polly grossed 26.7 million dollars in its first weekend, knocking Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King out of the top spot at the box office. Along Came Polly also starred Ben Stiller, Debra Messing, Alec Baldwin, and Hank Azaria . January also marked the end of our beloved Friends. The last episode ever of the hit sitcom was taped on January 23rd and will air on May 6th..
