Born into a family of actors, Jennifer was surrounded by the entertainment world on which she would eventually make her mark, but life was not always rosy. Her childhood had its ups and downs - the household was an unhappy one, and after her parents divorced, Jen lived with her mother, who had little money, and struggled to put herself through acting school. Her early career was a real struggle, and just at the point where she was ready to give up for good, she landed the part that was to change her life forever - Rachel Green in Friends. Instantly shooting her to worldwide fame, she remained in the series for ten years, and during this time established her high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt. Once married, 'Brad and Jen' were the Hollywood couple, their seemingly perfect relationship the envy of millions. Once Friends was over, Jennifer made the transition to film, and just as her career was taking off tragedy struck - her marriage crumbled as Brad formed a relationship with Angelina Jolie. Many assumed that Jennifer's world would collapse. They were wrong. With dignity and self-respect, Jennifer showed the world her strength and bounced back from heartbreak to find a new lease of life, moving on to bigger and better films and to a new relationship with Vince Vaughan. This biography traces every aspect of the Aniston story, from her childhood through to her early stage productions, Friends, the films and of course her relationships.
