Jennifer Aniston: The Price of Being an Actress (from ET)

JENNIFER ANISTON drops by "Movies 101: With Professor Richard Brown" for an in-depth interview with the prof, airing Friday, Oct. 14, at 10:30 p.m. on AMC. "Movies 101" is a half-hour series based on a course taught by Brown at New York University, and each week features a half-hour interview with a film industry mover-and-shaker.
"This is what I do," Aniston says when asked if she would do it all again, considering the high toll her fame has had on her life. "This is what I love to do. I love my job. That stuff is a pain in the a$$, but it doesn't outweigh what I do, how I get to spend my time, the wonderful people I get to meet and the wonderful experiences that I have."

Aniston will be seen next in Miramax's thriller 'Derailed,' co-starring CLIVE OWEN, scheduled for release in November. But she also has several other projects in the can, including ROB REINER's 'Rumor Has It,' which will be released in December, and also stars KEVIN COSTNER and SHIRLEY MacLAINE; and the romantic comedy 'The Break Up' with VINCE VAUGHN, due out in spring 2006.

It is hard to imagine considering her current credits, but when Aniston was starting out in New York, she couldn't get arrested.

"I was tired of waitressing," she recalls. "As much as I loved it, and I did enjoy being a waitress, I couldn't get hired. I couldn't get a commercial to save my life. I couldn't get a job except for theater. Let's face it. [Theater] is great, it's artistic, it's a creative outlet, but it don't pay no rent. So I basically decided to move ... I didn't decide to move, I went to visit my father [JOHN ANISTON, "Days of our Lives"]. I had this stuck-up idea, I couldn't be one of those who moves to L.A. to make it, so I thought I would be on a long vacation."

As happy as her father was to see her, he had reservations about his daughter following him into the acting profession. He had hoped she would become a doctor or a lawyer, something that would bring her joy and happiness.

But Aniston was determined, and even though she had very little success until landing the role of Rachel on "Friends," she persevered. And even after landing the role of Rachel, although she reveals she initially read for the part of Monica (COURTENEY COX), she had no idea what a hit the show would be.

"I thought it was going to go for 13 episodes," she recalls. "That is what all the other [series] did. That is what I do. I do 13 episodes of a show and then go wait for something else. I was baffled when they gave us the announcement that we were picked up for the back nine. I was, 'What's the back nine? That is incredible.'"

For more on Jennifer Aniston's revealing interview with Professor Richard Brown, tune in to tonight's ET. Then catch the complete conversation when "Movies 101" airs Friday night.

^ I watched a few clips of that. She's just looking fantastic. Of course, I've always like her... so it may be a bit biased. But she always has that glow. She seems like a genuinely happy person, despite whatever opstacles she has recently faced... :innocent:
 
I agree, Erin! She has had a glow lately.


I have a friend who recently got out of a very bad relationship. For 6-9 months after he left, she was sad, crying...just devastated. Then one day, she regained that happy glow that she once had. She had finally let go. I think once the period of mourning is over for a relationship, many people find the happiness and peace they once had.

Uhhhh he gained weight I am guessing. Definetly not the same guy he was in Swingers.
 
Vince has manboobs. I think the movie they did together THE BREAKUP will do well because Vince seems have to have a hot career right now for some reason. Good for him.

Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of seeing the trailers for both RUMOR HAS IT and DERAILED in the theatres this week and I had to cringe because Jen's chin on the big screen looks like it could wipe out NYC faster than Godzilla.
 
i hope that picture is not from a movie. I hate the way he dresses:yuk:
 
What in the hell is she thinking. Vince on the other hand should be so lucky to even come close.
 
come on, brad pitt isnt that hot. he looks hot in movies, but he has the worst scars from a skin problem he had once all over his face, he's not that hot.. vince > brad. im very happy for jen.. vince seems fun, nice and fits perfectly to her.. they just are a great couple.. i cant explain it, but i have such a nice feeling when i see those 2 together.
 
All you have to do is see Vince and Brad side by side in the movie Mr & Mrs Smith and you can see who is hotter and I dont remember anyone ever raving to me about Vince's skin either. Maybe Jen could give Vince the name of her plastic surgeon.
