Brett Favre during his Packer years/AP Photo

In my first Famous Five Friday article, I listed 5 well known people born in 1970. You can see that article here. Today Famous Five Friday’s is showing off the talented Gen X stars born in 1969.

Brett Favre- Born on October 10, 1969. Say what you will about one of the most indecisive guys on the planet, but he is still a pro football legend. Brett Favre is playing for the Vikings now, but he will always be a Packer at heart. He took the Green Bay Packers to 2 Super Bowls, winning 1 (SB XXXI). At 40 years old, he still plays football with youthful exuberance and whether you love him or hate him; he is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Read more about Brett on his official website here.

Sean “Diddy” Combs- Born on November 4, 1969. So what if he has changed his name more times then Jon cheated on Kate, he is an entertainment mogul. Diddy is a producer, a hip-hop artist, an actor and an entrepreneur. He knows how to make money from selling records to starting bands, and even clothing and cologne lines. If you want to know how to make money in the business world, talk to   Sean Combs.

Jennifer Aniston- Born on February 11, 1969. Aniston is an actress who is still one of America’s sweethearts. No one will ever forget her as Rachel on Friends. She has been a hit on the big screen as well with movies such as; Bruce Almighty, Along Came Polly and Rock Star. She has an Emmy and an undeniable knack for dating the wrong men. Maybe this will be her year for romantic success!

Catherine Zeta-Jones- Born on September 25, 1969. This sexy actress is married to significantly older actor, Michael Douglas. (Douglas has the same birthday, just 25 years earlier.) Zeta-Jones charisma showed through in the Mask of Zorro and Intolerable Cruelty. She acted and sang in the movie Chicago and is proving that 40 is indeed fabulous.

Gwen Stefani- Born on October 3, 1969. The lead singer of No Doubt has had a stellar career with and without the band. She made her "Sweet Escape" from single life in 2002 by marrying Bush guitarist Gavin Rossdale. The couple now has 2 children. Stefani launched her own fashion line called L.A.M.B. in 2004 and it has been a huge commercial success.

All 5 of these talented people have represented Gen X well (for the most part) and I look forward to seeing what they do in the future! Please enjoy the slideshow below with photographs of this weeks Famous Five! Your next Famous Five Friday will take a look at Gen X celebrities born in 1971.
