Jennifer Aniston Reveals How She Got Her Iconic Role on ‘Friends’

Ahead of the new season of ‘The Morning Show,’ Jennifer Aniston talks about ‘Friends,’ ‘Fame’ and her favorite red-carpet look.

In “The One,” WSJ. Magazine talks to tastemakers and creators about “the one” secret to their success—the one mentor they lean on in a crisis, the one habit they wish they could break, the one call that changed their lives forever. From actor Nicole Kidman to “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, iconic cultural figures open up to WSJ.

Her "That I'm still here" at the end... Did anyone else start inexplicably crying?

You’ll always be here and yes keep those few surprises close to you b/c I was able to anticipate most of your answers just due to how big a fan and advocate I am of you Jen! ❤

I've been binge watching 'Friends' lately and I love them all but especially Rachel. She was so talented and cute.

[leobender]

Jen, there's a special place for you in my heart and you're always welcome to come and stay there.

What a sweet, elegant production. Love the gentle jazz. Usually a list interview like this is goofy and tiktocky. Thanks for not doing that.

Rachel is still gorgeous to this day like wow 😍😍

[RachMonPhoebs]

Really would have been nice if WSJ could have intercut a pic of the red carpet dress so we could know which one she was referring to.
