When there's 5 women in hollywood who act, someone's gotta be the lead actress.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Feb 10 '11, 10:05

They've tried to make fetch happen with her all the way back to Liar Liar; but people don't care.

She's just there basking in the reflected glow of what used to be with Pitt before he curbed her.

I think you are talking leading lady glamour. ANiston will always be the cute girl next door. - loosilu Feb 10, 10:06 23
- Not always. She's turning 42 tomorrow. Meg Ryan's career, anyone? -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 10:08 22
  - that's right around the age Meg's career took a nosedive (so to speak). -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:11
  - Cat. Ty. -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:09
  - Meg Ryan ruined her career when she stopped being cutesy and turned all plastic. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:09 18
    - aka, she turned 40. - ty97 Feb 10, 10:10 17
      - Cutesy *can* last forever. see: Olivia Newton John. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:12 13
        
        Diane Lane aged pretty well ... its not that they had work; it's that Meg Ryan had awful work - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:13 3
        
        exactly. Meg ruined her face. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:14 2
        
        I could have done twice the job for half the price with a mallet. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 10:16 1
        
        She can't cry. The tear ducts got blocked. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:17
        
        she had a pact with Ray Wise. Aniston doesn't seem to be aging as well as ONJ - ty97 Feb 10, 10:13 7
        
        ONJ had extenuating real life(stalker)circumstances. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 10:18
        
        Yeah, Aniston looks... terrible?? -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:17
        
        Hmm. I think Aniston looks great. -- nm - Carla, the real friendly one Feb 10, 10:14 3
        
        I'm putting a Hollywood lens on my opinions here. - ty97 Feb 10, 10:16
        
        *So* friendly. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 10:16
        
        I do too. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:15
        
        or Christie Brinkley. holy cow, she looks amazing. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:14
        
        and Betty White -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 10:13
      - No no....she went from Meg Ryan we knew and loved to bangin Russell Crowe looking like the Joker. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:11 2
        
        the cheating on Quaid turned some of her fan base against her, for sure -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 10:12 1
        
        Yes, I think it's fair to say her career never recovered from that. -- nm - David Feb 10, 10:13
  - as long as she doesn't end up looking like her -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 10:08
if she wasn't a star, they wouldn't keep hiring her for lead roles in the movies -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 10:06 3
- She's the female version of the Rock. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:08 2
  - I'm guessing some things that would "move the needle" at this point in her career would be getting an Oscar or starring in a successful franchise? -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:13 1
    - Right...she's a safe bet to open a movie to 15-20mil....but for a woman who was so huge 10+ years ago - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:15
