Jennifer Aniston has become an icon for young women aspiring to become an actor. With her versatile acting skills, she has given fans several memorable performances over the years. But most people still remember her for her role in the television sitcom Friends. The actress worked for ten years on the comedy-drama, etching her character Rachel Green in the memory of the viewers. So it would be natural if fans believed the series made her successful and brought her better opportunities in the coming years.

This might come as a surprise, but her series was certainly not the reason behind her success. Although it can be looked at as the first step of the ladder that she climbed to establish herself among the most beloved superstars of this era.

Jennifer Aniston spills her secret to success 

In her interview with The Wall Street Journal, Aniston gave fans an insight into the struggles of her life and the golden times too. During the conversation, the American star opened up about how she thrived in the industry through the years. The 54-year-old revealed she did not become famous despite working on Friends for many years. Her life changed when she met Aleen Keshishian in 2007, who guided her.

Before the Cake star, Keshishian showcased her mettle by guiding celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Rudd, and Selena Gomez. When the actress parted ways with Brad Pitt, her life changed and she only found solace in acting. In that phase, her manager became her support system and taught her tactics of the show business to get new projects.

“She would give me these great bits of advice, almost like a pep talk. ‘You’re going to get on the phone, you’re going to address it like this,'” added the California native. Thus, it was a woman behind the success of another woman.

Aleen Keshishian has always stood strong with Friends star 

Aleen Keshishian and Jennifer Aniston started as work allies but became close friends over time. In the past years, fans have seen the two spending time with each other on birthdays and at parties. Keshishian’s name is always on the list every year when the Horrible Bosses star celebrates her birthday. Not to mention, Aniston posted a rare picture of herself with the producer and Selena Gomez back in 2021 on the producer’s birthday.

After her divorce from Justin Theroux, the Friends star used to spend most of her time socializing with her gang. So this is the reason she has such a big group of friends who always stay beside her.
