Jen + Andrea = Best Friends Forever!
While attending the New York School for the Performing Arts, Jennifer Aniston and Andrea Bendewald met.
Jennifer remembers seeing Andrea with "pretty blonde hair and a ponytail," and introducing herself. She asked her what she was doing that weekend, and "if her mother would let her sleep over." The two became instant friends, and remained that way.
After high school, though, Andrea attended university to study drama, while Jennifer pursued it by moving to L.A. and auditioning for part after part. Andrea sometimes wondered if she was doing the wrong thing, but it's evident now that both girl's decisions were smart ones. Andrea moved to L.A. after university, and actually lived with Jennifer for a while (along with her dog, Fisherman Bob). Andrea even had a small role in Jennifer's first feature film Picture Perfect. Don't remember seeing her? She was Kate's pregnant friend at Susan and Sagit's wedding.
Well, everything worked out wonderfully. While Jennifer was working on NBC's Friends, Andrea was working on NBC's Suddenly Susan. The shows were filmed in the same building, so Jennifer and Andrea often had lunch together. Both shows are now off the air, but Jennifer and Andrea remain close friends. Andrea was last spotted at the sleepover Jennifer attended at Oprah's house!
It really proves that one of your first best friends can be your true best friend...
