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 who 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. Jennifer says that she was always interested in acting, but it was Rudolf Steiner's free-spirited atmosphere that encouraged her to make it her career. 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 "The Edge" (1992), "Ferris Bueller" (1990), and have a recurring part on "Herman's Head" (1991). 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. Jennifer is also an artist. At age 11 (busy year), one of her paintings was selected for display in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. She still spends much time on art projects, including charcoal drawings, clay sculptures, and paintings. She also enjoys hiking, camping, and getting closer to nature. She currently lives in the Hollywood Hills. |
