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 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 High School of the Performing
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" (1990). She also appeared
in "Edge, The" (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.
