Jennifer was born on February 11, 1969 in Sherman Oaks, California as Jennifer Joanna Aniston. She is 5' 4½" [1.64 m] tall.

At one point in her career she was probably the best known "Jennifer" out there and she caught Brad's eye first before Angelina snag him. Not sure on the gossip about all that but it was much less hoopla than I expected. She kept her composure throughout that mess and came out looking better, in my opinion for it.

I did have thought for a screen play were Brad, Angelina and Jennifer play themselves and Matthew McCaunghey plays Dirk Pitt, a literary fictional character but and plays the fictional character of Brad's family, like a brother. Jennifer, still mad about the whole Brangelina affair, makes up a plausible story about a treasure that interest Brad and asks his brother, the treasure hunter Dirk to help him find it. Of course Angelina joins in the hunt and Jennifer has a whole lot of fun sending them on red herrings to the fake treasure but the twist is that the plausible treasure that Jennifer made up, is a real treasure and now Jennifer wants to get to it before they do.

What do you think? I thought it would be fun like an "Oceans 11" kind of thing. I know it would draw men and women to a movie like that, don't you think?
