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 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), Jennifer has become famous and sought-after
as she turns her fame into movie roles during the series hiatus.
