Gwyneth Paltrow started it.  Jennifer Aniston is going to follow suit.  She’s got an upcoming flick that she’s co-producing as well as starring in.

Jennifer Aniston Selling Her Mansion For $42 Million

The movie is set in the 1940′s where she will portray a member of The Goree Girls.  This was a real life, unconventional group of Texas singers.  They would be like  ”the Dixie Chicks of their time,” according to USA Today.

The movie, set inside Goree Prison, is about eight talented female inmates who formed a country-western band; embraced by the public, the women were ultimately pardoned.

I love this idea.  Jennifer can be considered typecast at times and this will be the perfect opportunity to branch out a bit and show the world another side of herself that most people have never seen.
