Jennifer Aniston was born in Sherman Oaks, California, to actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow. Her father is Greek, and her mother was of English, Irish, Scottish, and Italian descent.

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. Show less «

When somebody follows you 20 blocks to the pharmacy, where they watch you buy toilet paper, you know your life has changed.

It's impossible to satisfy everyone, and I suggest we all stop trying.

[on the irony of the title of her movie, The Break-Up (2006)] Well, you know. I figured just seize the moment.

I always say, "Don't make plans, make options".

If we can say, "I loved, and I received a lot of love," then great. That's enough.

I've learned that you can get through things that hurt. Nothing will kill you. Nothing. People are unbelievable. we have such resilience.

[on her divorce from Brad Pitt] A man divorcing would never be accused of choosing career over children. That really pissed me off. I've never in my life said I don't want to have children. I did and I do and I will! The women who inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I've always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all. Show less «

[on turning age 45] I guess it is a milestone. I really try not to focus on it too much to be honest. Society focuses on it way more than we need to. I think it's always important to reflect anyway, no matter what age you're approaching or what milestone is on front of you. Reflection should be almost a daily thing if possible. Because I was never a 'where do you see yourself in five years' person, I had no idea. And I didn't have a checklist, which really creates a lot less stress in your life. Show less «

[on the weirdest beauty regimen she had tried] I didn't go too crazy. You mean, did I ever put leeches on my face? The closest I'll go to is a derma-roller. Google it - it's great. It's like a little wheel that has little pins, like acupuncture needles in a way, and you roll it and it stimulates your collagen and allows for your products to seep into your skin. Show less «

[on Office Space (1999)] It's a funny movie. Mike Judge is just so good. It's very interesting that it became such a cult hit. I have no idea what happened. But isn't it fantastic? You know what I really love? I love when people say, "I loved you in some movie that didn't really get any attention." Like Wanderlust (2012). That's become this underground thing. The studio kind of dumped it, so it didn't get a fair chance. Now when people see it they just seem to think it's the funniest thing they've ever seen. It's a very odd, silly movie. Show less «
