She's been a beloved 'Friend,' an A-List rom-com star, a hairstyle icon and a perfumer -- as she reminded the press in Mexico this week while promoting her fragrance, Jennifer Aniston.
Now, perhaps following in Gwyneth Paltrow's 'Country Strong' footsteps, Jennifer Aniston is eager to take on a brand new role: country music singer.
For an upcoming fact-based film set in the 1940's, Aniston plans to portray a member of The Goree Girls, a wildly unconventional group of Texas singers she describes as "the Dixie Chicks of their time," according to USA Today.
The movie, set inside Goree Prison, is about eight talented female inmates who formed a country-western band; embraced by the public, the women were ultimately pardoned.
Aniston will reportedly co-produce the musical project (which has been bouncing around Hollywood since at least 2007), with big names such as Kelly Rowland, Pam Tillis and Ellen Pompeo attached as co-stars in recent months. Many in the industry speculate that after a long string of romantic comedies, 42-year-old Aniston is longing to make her mark in other genres.
