Titolo: JA: non sono come sembro...

Jennifer Aniston says she has been misunderstood for years. The public
sees her funny, glamorous character on the hit NBC show "Friends" and
assumes that's her. People see her smiling on magazine covers like
Vogue and Redbook and assume she's always happy. 
The truth, Aniston says, is that her disposition can resemble the one
she displays in "The Good Girl," a movie that opens Friday in Bay Area
theaters. Aniston portrays a depressed woman who wrestles with
personal issues and rarely smiles. Her character, Justine Last, is
trapped in a bad marriage, a bad job and a small town where little
happens. "There's a lot about Justine that I relate to," Aniston says,
speaking in a phone interview from Los Angeles. "People tell me, 'Your
life is perfect,' and they're fed this idea that there's this life
without problems, but they don't know me and my life. Nobody gets away
without some crazy days and hard knocks. . . . I grew up with no
money. My toes would pop out from the front of my shoes. As a source
of survival, my growing-up technique was to be the funny girl. I found
this way of making a living at it." Hollywood writers have chronicled
Aniston's imperfect childhood (her parents went through a messy
breakup when she was 9), her estrangement from her mother (who wrote a
tell-all book in 1999, "From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A
Memoir") and the screamers she has with Brad Pitt, her husband of two
years. Aniston is not afraid to address these subjects: "Doesn't every
married couple have arguments? Show me one that doesn't, and I don't
think they'd last very long." Aniston's character in "The Good Girl"
clashes with her husband (played by John C. Reilly), has an affair
with a younger man (Jake Gyllenhaal) whom she meets at her dead-end
retail clerk's job, has another dalliance, lies and considers leaving
her small-town Texas "prison" life. Director Miguel Arteta and writer
Mike White, who had previously collaborated on "Chuck & Buck," chose
Aniston over other actresses who wanted the role, gambling that she
would bring the necessary restraint to a movie that is darkly comic.
Arteta and White also liked the idea that a woman who is "America's
sweetheart" would play a role against type. 
Aniston says she relished the chance to break out of her "good girl"
image. Though she loves working on "Friends," which has aired for nine
seasons, she says the movie roles she has played before (like the
advertising executive in "Picture Perfect") were too similar to her
Rachel character. "It's very easy to stay safe," says Aniston. "I want
to act for a while. I was feeling trapped in the image of Rachel. I
wanted to challenge myself." On the set of "The Good Girl," Aniston
was moved to tears because the work was demanding and her role stirred
up feelings about her childhood and her relationship with her mother,
whom she hasn't spoken to in more than five years. Making "The Good
Girl," though, was cathartic, she says, giving her "the type of
feeling you have after a good workout, where you ache and your muscles
are so sore because they haven't been worked forever." 
All of this doesn't mean Aniston is miserable, or even close to it.
She makes $1 million an episode on a show that is one of TV's most
popular, she's happily married to one of Hollywood's most handsome
actors, and she's perceived as gorgeous and talented by millions of
people around the world. ("Friends" is seen in more than 100
countries.) "There's nothing glamorous about me on a day-to-day
basis," Aniston claims. "With hair and makeup and a fabulous dress,
everybody looks glamorous. It's like a uniform." 
At age 33, Aniston says she has few misgivings about her life. One of
them is that "I never went to college," she says. "I was ready to
start acting, and I didn't love school. I was someone who found the
classroom boring, but you pay for it in your adult life, when you
don't know what Great Lakes there are." Aniston laughs. It's the sort
of laugh for which she is known on "Friends."

RIASSUNTINO
Jennifer Aniston è incompresa, lei in realtà non è come la Rachel di
Friends, ma piuttosto è come il personaggio che interpreta in "The
Good Girl", cioè una donna depressa in lotta con i suoi problemi
personali e che sorride di rado.
Dice di essere cresciuta senza soldi e con le dita che uscivano dalle
scarpe, e come tecnica "salvagente" ha deciso di essere la ragazza
buffa, ed ha scoperto che così poteva guadagnarci sopra.
La Aniston ora dice che si pente di non essere andata al college e di
aver invece intrapreso presto la carriera di attrice. La scuola non le
piaceva, ma ora ci sono cose che avrebbe voluto aver studiato, per
esempio quali sono i Grandi Laghi.

 esempio quali sono i Grandi Laghi.
