In November, Jennifer Aniston received the People’s Icon Award at the People’s Choice Awards for her career achievements in film and television.
In her People’s Icon Award acceptance speech, Aniston credited “Friends” with her career success. “If I have any claim to this word ‘icon,’ it’s only because I was able to be on an iconic show, with an iconic cast, and an iconic haircut,” she said.
“Jennifer Aniston is a tour de force, who has portrayed some of the most iconic, unforgettable, and relatable characters of our time,” said Jen Neal, General Manager, E! News, Live Events and Lifestyle Digital in an October People’s Choice Awards press release. “For gracefully conquering comedy and drama on both the small and big screen, we’re honoring Jennifer Aniston with ‘The People’s Icon of 2019.'”
