Jennifer Aniston has been in our Friends zone for so long, it’s hard to remember a time when she wasn’t there for us.
Luckily, we don’t have to play that risky little game. Her star-making show ended in 2004 but after that it was onto making movies and, when the right project came along, she returned to the small screen.
“I’m entering into what I feel is one of the most creatively fulfilling periods of my life,” Aniston told the New York Times in 2019. “Seriously, I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I feel like it’s just about to really bloom.”‘
Reader, she was not trifling with us.
At the time, The Morning Show had just taken root at Apple TV+. Fast-forward through a pandemic, a presidential election and a few other hot topics the drama handily borrowed from reality, and it’s been renewed for a fourth season.
And Aniston, who’s turning 55 on Feb. 11, is really in her SAG Award-winning groove now as wildly successful but fallible morning show host Alex Levy.
