The Bottom Line: "One of the all-time greats"
I really miss seing her every week. ...Continue »
Jeniffer Aniston is one of the funniest, sweetest, charming actress on entertainment.

Obviously her role on "Friends" showed her to world, and the world couldnt stop loving her. She is one of the dearest personalities today. As "Rachel" she showed she could be funny and charming playing a role that it was suposed to be spoiled and kind of self centered. But she also has appeared in a variety of movies becoming an autentic american sweetheart in romantic comedies, and a serious actress in films like "Derailed" (2005).

Now that she has made her way into Hollywwod it will be dificult to stop her, There's no doubt she can achieve anything. She's a truly star.

The Bottom Line: "Overrated"
An overrated actress. ...Continue »
I find it comical how people think Jennifer Aniston is such a "great" actress. In my opinion, she is ridiculously overrated. Don't you guys think it's funny that as soon as Brad Pitt left her, how her movie career has gone down the tubes? She isn't a money maker in terms of box office dollars and her acting is only for comedy. She is absolutely terrible in dramas. She looks so awkward in every one of them that she should just stick to what she is barely good at, which is making people laugh at her. I have to laugh at her when she is trying to be serious in dramas. Thank you.

The Bottom Line: "Personal favorite"
Jennifer Aniston has always been my favorite actor of all time, and her roles really define why. ...Continue »
Not exactly sure what the first thing starring Jennifer I saw, but it really doesn't matter. The bottom line is she is the best. Great in Drama. And of course great in comedy. From her first film role, Leprechaun, I was hooked on her. Before I even knew who she was, I loved her in Leprechaun. Friends of course brought me around to her, but as soon as she started a successful film career, I followed her. There's just something about Jennifer Aniston that draws me to her, and although I could easily pick an actor in my generation as my favorite, Jennifer always has stayed at number 1. And I can guarantee she'll stay there for a long, long time. If not forever.

Gorgeous, talented, and charming. Jennifer Aniston has it all. ...Continue »
We all remember Jen from her best-known role as Rachel Green on Friends. After watching this show there should be no need to explain her talent, not to mention her beauty.
But the days of Friends are over, and yet, I still admire her. I admire her not only for her looks and acting, but most of all for her charms. Jennifer Aniston seems to be a real and down-to-earth woman who is looking for happiness while she's earning heaps of money in the dream factory of Hollywood.
The secret of her success as an actress lies in the composition of beauty, talent, and charm. The fans adore and support her not only because she has it all, but first and foremost because she is a real and fleshly woman who happens to be one of the biggest TV and movie stars.
