Jennifer's mother, Nancy Dow, acted in several films and TV shows.

Jennifer shared her early childhood with her grandmother, living together in a three-bedroom house in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. She began her elementary school there but shifted to New York City when the family decided on it.

Jennifer's parents separated when she was nine years old; she had a half-brother named Alexander Aniston from her father's second marriage.

Career

Jennifer Aniston started her acting career in 1988, working in broadway shows, but she couldn't make much money out of it. So, to fulfill the necessary, she took up different part-time jobs like a telemarketer, waitress, and bike messenger.

In 1989, she moved to Los Angeles, where her father stayed. It was in 1990; she made her debut in television by serial, 'Molloy'. One opportunity unfolded another, and she got offers from different series on television and made a decent living off it.

She made her film debut in 1993, but it was disastrous; she received many negative reviews for the horror film, Leprechaun. Although the film later became a cult, it didn't do any good to improve Jennifer's reputation.

It was when 'Friends', an American sitcom, changed her life and position drastically. Jenniffer's portrayal of Rachel Green aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004, and the show together was a huge success, which established her in acting and Hollywood. Ever since she never had to look back.
