Jennifer Aniston was born in Sherman Oaks, California, she spent a year of her childhood living in Greece with her family. Her family then relocated to New York City where her parents John and Nancy divorced when she was just 9 years old. 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 would also appear in "Edge, The" (1992), "Ferris Bueller" (1990), and have 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/I), Jennifer has become famous and sought-after as she turns her fame into movie roles during the series hiatus.
The late Telly Savalas is her godfather. Jennifer devotes a considerable amount of time to art projects, and has completed several paintings as well as works of art in charcoal and clay. In 1980 at the tender age of 11, one of her paintings was selected for display in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. She also enjoys hiking, camping and virtually anything that brings her closer to nature.
