Jennifer Aniston as Alex Levy
If you don’t know Jennifer Aniston, then you got to be kidding me. Born on February 11, 1969, Jennifer Joana Aniston got to know about acting at the age of 11 and performed in several theatre productions. In 1988 she had an uncredited minor role in the critically panned sci-fi adventure film ‘Mac and Me’. However, the initial part of her career was not as successful until ‘Friends’ arrived. The show became a phenomenon and gained so much success that other shows can only dream of.
In 2003, she won Best Actress – Television series musical or comedy for ‘Friends’. Meanwhile, she also won a Primetime Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress category for the show. The series helped her in garnering worldwide success and became the highest-paid TV actress of all time (along with her ‘Friends’ co-star) with her $1 million-per-episode paycheck during the final season of the show.
Since then, she has worked on blockbuster projects such as ‘The Good Girl’, ‘Bruce Almighty’, ‘Just Go with It’, ‘We’re the Millers’, ‘Cake’, ‘Five’, ‘Saturday Night Live’, and ‘Five’.
