Author
of
Generation
Friends:
An
Inside
Look
at
the
Show
That
Defined
a
Television
Era,
Saul
Austerlitz,
has
stated
in
the
book,
"She
had
to
lose
thirty
pounds
if
she
wanted
to
stay
in
Hollywood.
Los
Angeles
was
a
tough
place
to
be
an
actress,
it
was
a
tough
place
to
be
a
woman,
and
Jennifer
Aniston's
agent
was
reluctantly
levelling
with
her."
"Aniston
was
hardly
fat
-
everyone
could
see
she
was
beautiful
-
but
as
the
show
she
would
one
day
become
indelibly
associated
with
later
made
a
point
of
noting,
the
camera
added
10
pounds," it
further
reads.
The
immense
pressure
on
actresses
to
look
a
certain
way
to
establish
themselves
in
the
showbiz
has
been
a
topic
of
discussion
for
a
long
time
now.
In
an
interview
with
The
Rolling
Stones
magazine
from
1996,
Jennifer
Aniston
is
seen
addressing
the
same.
She
said,
"My
agent
gave
it
to
me
straight.
Nicest
thing
he
ever
did
....
The
disgusting
thing
of
Hollywood
-
I
wasn't
getting
lots
of
jobs
'cause
I
was
too
heavy."
Jennifer
Aniston,
who
was
named
the
World's
Most
Beautiful
Woman
in
2016
by
PEOPLE,
has
a
rather
different
opinion
about
the
industry's
beauty
standards.
Defining
beauty
in
her
terms,
the
actress
said,
"Inner
confidence.
Peace.
Kindness.
Honesty.
A
life
well-lived.
Taking
on
challenges
and
not
feeling
shame
for
things
that
haven't
gone
the
way
you
felt
they
should
have.
And
not
feeling
like
a
failure
or
allowing
people
to
critique
your
life
and
make
you
feel
like
you've
failed
at
something.
That's
just
toxic
noise."
