Jennifer Aniston is on one of the covers of Variety‘s annual Power of Women issue!
Here’s what the 50-year-old actress had to share with the mag…
On her work with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: “I started doing everything I could, meeting the children, and they’re these little heroes. I remember one year the little girl kept calling it her ‘owies,’ her little tumors, because they wouldn’t say the word ‘cancer in front of her. It’s the hardest day of the year and the greatest day of the year because they allow you to put it all into perspective. You see these little miracles, these heroes, walking through something that no child should ever have to be walking through.”
On the families she meets while working with St. Jude: “I stay in contact with the families sometimes. Most of these kids are from places that don’t have the opportunities, and necessarily income, that some families have the good fortune of having. And it’s a beautiful environment. Every year, I get this birthday card that St. Jude makes with all their faces on it. And each of them signs it. They are treated like the angels that they are.”
