What is it about Jennifer Aniston?

What IS it about her that makes her so insanely popular and hugely successful? While I understand that she's pretty and is a pretty good actress, it's amazing to think that she's one of the most in-high-demand and popular American actresses.. ever. She manages to score a TON of big-screen main roles, has snagged advertising campaigns (like being the spokesperson/endorser of Smart Water), and being all over the tabloids. What is it about her? Do you like her? Do you hate her? Do you feel like she should be MORE popular or less popular than she is, based on her talents?

I like her, I'm team Jennifer because I hate women that steals men, I think the other is dirty and a bad person. Jennifer is a good example of how woman should follow their hearts it doesn't matter, literally in her case, that the WHOLE WORLD is criticizing us.

I really don't know, I think it was a series of coincidences, like being on Friends and when she was so well paid and the show was a hit she hooked up with the most famous actor (I don't like Brad Pitt but people do) so that just put her career up there.

I'm not sure i think some of it has to do with Brad Pitt leaving her for Angelina Jolie and people feeling sorry for her. I think she is very down to earth and normal compared to a lot of the other hollywood celbrities, so women relate to her more and relate her lifestyle more to theirs. I think she is also one of the only stars who is still really popular without slutting up their image and i think that counts for a lot and should be admired. It takes a lot of courage to go against the trend. She's a great role model for the children too unlike a lot of stars. I think she has earnt her place in the film and television industry. I support her work and look forward to hearing about her on websites and in magazines. I guess the answer is Yes! I do like her. I think you can't go past Jen's movies for light hearted romantic comedies she has been type cast into through the years.

Maybe its her hair or that she's once married to brad pitt or that she is part of the hugely popular friends. I think she never really had a major hit in the last 3 years. She can never be as popular as Sandra, Meg, Angelina or Julia. I would say she is at a level of Sarah Jessica Parker they are popular because of their TV character but not enough to be on the superstar status which is just okay.

I don't know what's about her that made her popular because it's not the case here in the Philippines. I bet a lot of Filipinos knew Angelina Jolie but not Aniston. I don't like her but I don't hate her as well maybe because I can't feel her presence here. I had seen only a few movies of her and yes, I think she's one good hollywood actress but not as good as Julia Roberts and the rest of the gang.

I really like her.The role Rachael that she acts in Friends leaves me deep impression.She is one who makes others feel comfortable.And after many years she still looks young and pretty.However,it is pitiful that she and Brad Pitt broke up.Since I am a big fan of both Aniston and Pitt,I wish that they can reunite.

I like her, and I think she's more talented as a comic actress than she gets credit for being. I think it was just the stars aligning and Friends being what it was that launched her career to the point that it is now...you could argue that the whole Brad Pitt thing actually helped her career, because she was seen, appropriately or not, as the victim in that scenario, and often outside media attention does translate into box office sales. It can hurt if the media message is a negative one--as Tom Cruise found out when War of the Worlds didn't do nearly as well as was expected after he spent the summer verbally attacking people and jumping on furniture.

I have never really been a fan of Jennifer Anniston. I think she's so popular because she's such an all-American, girl-next-door type (or at least she comes off that way in movies). For me, she's just too cutesy and goodie-goodie. w
