Biography
Born in Sherman Oaks, California, Jennifer Aniston spent a
year of her childhood living in Greece with her family. Her family then
relocated to New York City where her parents, actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow,
divorced when she was 9. Jennifer was raised by her mother and her
father landed a role, as "Victor Kiriakis", on the daytime soap Days of Our Lives (1965). Jennifer had her first taste of acting at age 11 when she joined the Rudolf Steiner School's drama club. It was also at the Rudolf Steiner
School that she developed her passion for art. She began her
professional training as a drama student at New York's School of
Performing Arts, aka the "Fame" school. It was a division of Fiorello H.
LaGuardia High School of Music and the Arts. In 1987, after graduation,
she appeared in such Off-Broadway productions as "For Dear Life" and
"Dancing on Checker's Grave". In 1989, she landed her first television
role, as a series regular on Molloy (1989). She also appeared in The Edge (1992), Ferris Bueller (1990), and had a recurring part on Herman's Head
(1991). By 1993, she was floundering. Then, in 1994, a pilot called
"Friends Like These" came along. Originally asked to audition for the
role of "Monica", Aniston refused and auditioned for the role of "Rachel
Green", the suburban princess turned coffee peddler. With the success
of the series Friends (1994), Jennifer has become famous and sought-after as she turns her fame into movie roles during the series hiatus.
