They only shared the screen for three episodes of Friends spread out over six years, but during that time Jennifer Aniston, in the role of Rachel Green, developed a strong connection with her on-screen mother, Sandra, played by Marlo Thomas. The two actresses recently came together again as Marlo co-hosted a luncheon honoring Jennifer’s latest film, Cake, at Michael’s restaurant in New York City. Watch the video below for more.

Good friendship: Marlo hosted a party in honor of Jennifer’s recent film Cake, which has received recognition with Golden Globe and SAG nominations.

Absolutely gorgeous: At 45 years old, she exuded elegance with minimal makeup, sporting a chic black top paired with a cream skirt. Both her and her partner have dedicated their fame to supporting and fundraising for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, a noble cause close to Marlo’s heart as it was founded by her father, Danny. The night before the luncheon celebrating her latest movie, for which she has already received Golden Globe and SAG nominations, Jennifer was spotted in New York City bundled up in cozy attire. The talented actress opted for an all-black ensemble, consisting of a wool coat layered over a shift dress, complemented by opaque tights, stylish pumps, and a statement printed scarf.

In the past: The two actress collaborated on a couple of Friends episodes in 1996, one of which they are seen in a photo together, and another one in 2002. According to Us Weekly, Jennifer is getting ready for a vacation with her fiancé Justin Theroux. A source informed the magazine that they are planning to visit Telluride, Colorado and then head to Cabo San Lucas. The insider mentioned that Cabo San Lucas, a place Jennifer frequents yearly, is like a sanctuary for them. They see it as a time to rejuvenate. Us Weekly also mentioned that this trip will be a nice break for the couple after reportedly having a disagreement over Thanksgiving, although their representatives have denied this rumor.

Wedding glam: The Cake star proudly flaunted her stunning engagement ring, a dazzling 8-carat radiant cut diamond that is said to be worth approximately $500,000.
