NEW YORK -Jennifer Aniston's big '30 Rock' cameo will show the former 'Friends' actress and current tabloid favorite as a "free-spirited, 'Fatal Attraction'-like stalker," creator and executive producer Tina Fey tells PEOPLE.
The New York-based series, which begins its third season in October, stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin in a behind-the-scenes, sometimes self-directed spoof of a television network and the huge corporation that owns it. The show has won a modest but devoted following, and critical raves. Awards include Golden Globes, a Peabody and last year's Emmy for outstanding comedy series.
With its show-biz slant, it has become a haven for guest appearances by big names from entertainment ? even politics, including Al Gore.
Another of the six-member "Friends" troupe, David Schwimmer, had a "30 Rock" guest shot last season.
