"The reigning Hollywood hair queen has done it again. It was quite a surprise to catch a glimpse of Jennifer as she stepped out in Atlanta, Georgia on the set of her upcoming movie, The Yellow Birds - one of several new silver screen roles since her last appearance on the big screen in late 2014. Speaking of film roles - she was cast in the lead role for director Sean Anders latest project Mean Moms, but as we said in our earlier post the film project is on hiatus.

Jennifer released a statement of her own explaining:




"I want to take my acting career in a more SERIOUS direction. I know that I'm capable of doing drama, and don't want to limit myself as an actress. Lately I've been more careful about what roles I take."

He previous dramatic credits include (2002) indie/drama film The Good Girl, which earned the actress recognition from the critics who called it - "Her breakout role from her 'Friends' image".

Jennifer's more recent role in (2014) indie/drama film Cake earned her nominations from the Golden Globes as well as the Screen Actors Guild awards for Best Lead Actress, but she lost to actress Julianne Moore once again for Moore's role in Still Alice. Critics praised Aniston's performance even going as far as calling it, "An Oscar-worthy performance for Jennifer", but when it came time for the Academy awards she was snubbed of a nomination, and Moore won the Oscar as well.

Aniston was later photographed back in her dirty blonde locks without any sign of the bangs that originally caught photographers eyes.
