When Friends hit the airwaves in 1994, Courteney Cox was the acknowledged "name" star. But Jennifer Aniston, as the goofy/sexy Rachel, quickly became the actress with the biggest public buzz. Her distinctively curvy haircut was, briefly, a popular craze, and she was often featured in tabloids and celebrity gossip columns. Her feature films include The Iron Giant (1999, with Vin Diesel), Rock Star (2000, with Mark Wahlberg), The Good Girl (2002, with Jake Gyllenhaal) and Along Came Polly (2004, with Ben Stiller). In 2000 she married actor Brad Pitt; early in 2005 the couple announced that they had separated.
