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.



But, 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.



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?
