Jennifer Aniston may be adored by fans equally for the dignity she's displayed in her very public personal life as she is for the performances that have made her an Emmy and Golden Globe–winning actress. Born into a family of actors, Jennifer grew up surrounded by the entertainment world on which she would eventually make her mark, but as explored in this biography, she had her share of childhood ups and downs. Every aspect of her career is considered—her early career, a challenge that she was about to give up for good, and the huge development that made her struggles worthwhile, landing the part that was to change her life forever—Rachel Green on Friends. The story of her next several years is fascinating, as she shot almost instantly to worldwide fame, remaining in the series for 10 years, and during this time established a high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt—seemingly perfect, and the envy of millions. As she left the stability of her series and transitioned to film, her marriage crumbled in one of the most publicized Hollywood scandals of recent years. However, the last chapters in Aniston's story so far tell of an actress showing the world her strength, bouncing back from heartbreak, and moving on to new relationships and bigger and better films. A close-up look at a much-loved survivor and superstar, this is a must-read for any fan.

Interesting...but not enough,
This review is from: Jennifer Aniston: The Biography of Hollywood's Sweetheart (Hardcover)
This book is well written and provides plenty of information about Jennifer Anniston's life, both professionally and personally. However, the attempt to portray Jennifer Anniston as an innocent victim is more than obvious and may i also add - annoying. Everything bad that has happened to her is blamed on her bad childhood and on people not being understanding enough towards her.

Disappointed in her,
By Book Chick (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jennifer Aniston: The Biography of Hollywood's Sweetheart (Hardcover)
I'm a big fan of Friends, still tap into them once in a while, and had been a fan of all the cast. I actually stopped reading this book as the "Rachel hair thing" was mentioned. By that stage there were enough quotes from Ms Aniston to give me the impression she seemed pretty ungrateful to her fans for where she was. There didn't seem to be anything positive coming out of her mouth - though plenty of the f-word. Classy.
Sorry if I didn't give the book a chance, but it put me off her and I sort of think if that's what she said in public (if it's true of course) then you just end up wondering what she said in private. At a reported $35,000 an episode it's a shame she couldn't have taken it on the chin a little more and I won't be paying any money to see any of her movies anymore.
