"Jen (Aniston) and I are uniquely positioned. We had success within one iteration of Hollywood, but streaming services using data to discover what people want to watch has changed my entire career and allowed women to be valued in a way we never have before.'

Write your own stories, direct your own material, go to film school. It actually might happen," Witherspoon told The Sunday Times. Aniston also believes that with the digital space, the entertainment industry has entered a new phase. "It feels like this is a whole new chapter in our lives.
