This extraordinary actor snagged the Young Artist Award in 1997 for her breakthrough performance in ‘Ulee’s Gold.’ Biel had later been nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for ‘The Sinner.’ Starting her career with CW’s ‘7th Heaven’, she impressed everyone with the portrayal of a well-behaved daughter of a Protestant minister.
But what gave her maximum fame? Biel wowed the world with her performances in ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ ‘The Illusionist,’ and ‘The Rules of Attraction.’ From marrying the sensational heartthrob Justin Timberlake to becoming a doting mom, her life has not been shabby at all!
Katie Holmes
Making her first appearance in ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ none of Holmes’ movies could make a mark until she appeared in the blockbuster ‘Batman Begins.’ However, she did not continue to play her character in the later Batman movies and dedicated herself to raising her daughter, Suri. Holmes had been married to Tom Cruise, but they got separated after spending a few happy years together.
She returned to acting and starred in projects like ‘Dear Dictator’ and ‘Logan Lucky.’ Over the years, her relationship had become more spoken of than her career for no excusable reason. She is talented and beautiful and deserves praise in her own right.
Michelle Williams
Cast as Jen Lindley, Michelle broke the silver screen with her naughty girl look in ‘Dawson’s Creek’ all the way back in 1998. Audiences felt that something gravely sinister was lying beneath the garb of that innocent face! She has made her fans proud with her impeccable acting in ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ ‘My Week With Marilyn,’ ‘Blue Valentine,’ and ‘Manchester by The Sea.’
Williams’ acting career continues to blossom even today with ‘Venom,’ ‘Shutter Island,’ ‘Oz The Great and Powerful,’ and ‘The Greatest Showman.’ Williams has been married twice. In 2018, she married Phil Elverum, whom she divorced one year later, and in 2020, she married Thomas Kail, whom she has been with ever since.
Shannen Doherty
Shannen was a bright star of the 90s, so much so that it was the busiest time for her! By playing the super dramatic Brenda on ‘Beverly Hills 90210’, she strongly paved her way into Hollywood. Though she was going through a dry patch after this show, Doherty soon impressed everyone as Prue Halliwell in ‘Charmed.’
The reprised version of ‘90210’ saw her as Brenda, and she went on to compete in ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 1999 and breast cancer in 2015. While she hasn't been able to recover so far, this hasn't stopped her from soldiering on as an actress, producer, and activist.
Jennifer Aniston
One of the most famous and popular actresses in the world, Aniston is a known face to almost every person from every corner of the earth! There is not a single 90s person who has not seen the famous sitcom ‘Friends’ and not fallen in love with Rachel Green! The character of Rachel Green was a big break for Aniston, more so because the show successfully ran for ten long years and was loved by everyone. She received awards like a Golden Globe and an Emmy for this role.
Critics were all praise for her dramatic turn in ‘Cake.’ Aniston was the envy of many girls because of her relationship with the sensation of the generation, Brad Pitt! They got married in 2000, but their marriage did not have a happy ending. Later, she got married to Justin Theroux in 2015, only to divorce him two years later.
