Jennifer Who?
In 1989 -- long before Friends, Brad Pitt and all the rest -- Jennifer Aniston was an unknown actress who'd just entered her 20s. To raise her profile, the Hollywood hopeful made an appearance on the Howard Stern Show as a "NutriSystem success story." (She had recently lost 15 pounds on the diet plan, which was a sponsor of Stern's radio show.) Howard Stern and his crew replayed clips of that vintage appearance -- one of the earliest featuring the future star -- on The History of Howard Stern: Act III, a Sirius XM radio documentary series that looks back on Stern's life and career on radio.

During her appearance, Aniston shyly talks about her skimpy acting resume. "I did a show [For Dear Life] at the Public Theater [in Manhattan]...I've only been in it [acting] a year professionally," she says after Stern teases her. ("You need help with your career, honey!")
Now famously fit, 1989's Aniston gabs about weighing 110 pounds after losing 15 in six weeks with NutriTrim. "I need maintenance now," she claims to Stern. Another weight-loss complaint? Her boobs. "Your breasts are so full!" Stern says. "No they're not," Aniston protests. "I've lost them completely!"
What does 2010 hold in store for Jen Aniston and other stars?
Stern takes an instant, typically lecherous liking to the up and comer. "You're very lovely," he praises, complimenting her outfit ("Shorts with those aerobic sneakers and the big white socks") and her "very sensual pout."
Game for his flirting, Aniston avoids questions about when she lost her virginity ("oh my god!") but tells him she's a "big fan. big time!"

"Find me attractive?" Stern asks.
"Yeah, I do," she replies. "You look absolutely nothing like I thought you'd look." Suddenly embarrassed, she pleads, "My mother's listening to this, please!"
Look back on Brad and Jen's split and other nasty Hollywood breakups
Aniston -- who one day would pose semi nude on magazine covers, declines Stern's suggestions to pose nude for Playboy (or for a private sketch session).
"My god," Stern jokes. "There is a chipmunk in my undies."
By the end of the interview, Stern nearly forgets to ask her name. "What's your name?" he asks. "Jennifer," she replies.

"Jennifer Doody?" he asks.
"Yeah, Jennifer Doody," she retorts, making a flatulent noise.
Aniston scored her first major role the following year in 1990 as harried sister Jeannie Bueller in the show Ferris Bueller -- the TV adaptation of the hit 1986 film. The show ran for one season. She became a star as Rachel Green when Friends premiered in 1994.

45Looks like she got a nose job or is using Amazon's NoseSecret inserts.
i am just waiting for the day she proclaims that she is a lesbian. i simply l-o-v-e- her.Type your comment here
Where's GAGA? 1, 2, 3. Which artist stole this line? And who did they steal it from? This is the millionaire question of the day.
Annie: You need to read more carefully...She starred in the TV ADAPTATION OF FERRIS BUELLER...not the movie. The TV show was not on for long...but it existed and Jennifer Aniston Starred in it.
WOW, Howard Stern is a complete moron Jennifer Aniston's nose looks equally huge in both pictures. so leave her aloneeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Haters, just go praise Angelina, the kid snatcher and that sorrry excuse for a man Brad.

read the article again moron...it clearly states that she played the sister on the TV show, not the movie.
Wow. Nice reporting - They got the wrong Jennifer for Ferris Bueller. It was Jennifer Grey, US Magazine. Maybe you should check your facts before putting a story out. Oh, I forgot, there is no such thing as "factual reporting" anymore.
i heart jen
even then she had bad taste. landing Brad Pitt was a total fluke for her.
She is a good actress and a great comedian. She doesn't over act like A. J., who everyone thinks is so great, and I don't get why.
Ugh, she is SO GROSS, flirting with the King of SLEAZE. She's nothing but a trashy ho-bag, wanting to be FAMOUS. She wouldn't be famous if her daddy hadn't pulled strings for her, and of course, she must have slept around. She has not talent!!!
I always thaought she looked better with dark hair. She's attractive in her own way, but just don't put her picture up side by side with someone else, not even her younger self. She does look harsh. The tabs won't let go on Jennifer and Brad because some of the fans won't, they're apparently the ones that keep them in business.

((((((((US Magazine and Haters)))))))) Please Move on! Angie and Brad are together forever. They are family and there is nothing that any of you can do it!
Stop talking about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston! Everyone always acts like Brad was a prize Jen won! Let me tell you something...He's no prize and neither is that skeleton wife of his. I can't stand Brad & Angelina. I wanna puke everytime I hear about them.
