Jennifer Aniston Had a Rough Start to Her Career

Jennifer AnistonAlthough she was born into a family of actors, Jennifer Aniston did not have an easy ride to where she is today. In fact, her ride used to be a bicycle dodging traffic as a bike messenger. This in a long list of ‘first jobs,’ Jennifer Aniston’s career was less career and more job to begin with. Born to actors Nancy Dow and prolific soap-opera star John Aniston, you’d think she could have just walked into her acting career, but that wasn’t the case. Before Friends, Jennifer Aniston would clean toilets to make pocket money; a horrible job for the Horrible Bosses star. Raised in New York City, Jennifer Aniston had high hopes for Broadway, but had to make due pedalling up and down it as a bike messenger. She concedes that her toughest job was definitely hitting the streets on a fixie-bike and a low point was slamming into an opening door; not to mention what a helmet would do to the famous Jennifer Aniston hairstyle.

Jennifer Aniston next found herself in an office job as a telemarketer and taking New York City offices into consideration, it was probably not in a luxurious serviced office London style – one can only imagine. It was during this time that Jennifer Aniston would act out her Broadway dreams no doubt to potential clients over the phone. With her infectious friendly demeanour however, we’re sure Jennifer Aniston made more than a few sales. During this period of her life, there were many failed Jennifer Aniston shows – five TV shows and one movie flop. Jennifer Aniston’s acting career was almost over before it began with her considering dropping it altogether.

This story has a successful third act however, as it was when she was at her lowest that Jennifer Aniston auditioned for the role of Rachel Green – the role we all grew to love over the sitcom’s ten-year run. Reported by Hollywood, Jennifer Aniston was paid $1 million dollars an episode in the last two seasons of the show. With a string of successful film appearances, such as cult classic Office Space and the hilarious dark comedy Horrible Bosses, Jennifer Aniston has cemented herself as a bona fide movie star. To think if she’d kept her telemarketing job she might’ve ended up in office space London. The next step for Jennifer Aniston’s career is the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where she is scheduled to receive her star in 2012.

Step Into Carrie’s Shoes On A Sex And The City Tour

If you are heading to New York for business or pleasure, you have to make time for the sex and the city tour. It only takes a few hours, and you get to see all of the places where Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha called home. The tour guides are fabulous, and share some great trivia about the show and the cast.

You will get to see Carrie’s front stoop. Although the audience is led to believe she lives on the Upper East Side, the apartment is actually in the West Village. Bring your credit card and forget about saving money in NYC for a minute, as the tour makes a quick stop at Jimmy Choo. This is where Carrie bought all of her shoes.

If you remember the episode where Charlotte bought her rabbit, you will not be disappointed when the tour bus stops at The Pleasure Chest. One of the funniest Charlotte episodes was at the ABC Carpet & Home. You will see the store where she and her future Mother-In-Law Bunny, had that famous fight over a bed.

The Scout bar, which Steve and Aidan owned, is actually called Onieal’s. Enjoy a cosmopolitan, and remember some of the great episodes that were shot there. Speaking of Aidan, you will go on location and see where he designed his furniture.

The bus will take you to the little church around the corner, where Samantha had a fling with the friar. This is also known as the actor’s church, so they were very accommodating to the cast and crew. The meatpacking district, where Samantha bought her apartment, is another highlight of the tour.

Miranda and Carrie loved cupcakes. Take the Sex and The City tour and you will be treated to a free cupcake at this world-famous bakery. A highlight is the chi-chi department store, where Miranda and the girls talked about Alexander Petrovsky. He was the reason that Carrie moved to France.

For 6 seasons, the women from Sex and the City shopped, ate, hung out, and partied in New York City, and millions of viewers did too. Relive those memories with the Sex and the city tour.
