Jennifer Aniston's Biography

Aniston grew up around show business. Her father John was a regular on Days of Our Lives for years; her mother Nancy was an actress and sometime model; and her godfather was none other than Kojak himself, Telly Savalas. Aniston had the good fortune to attend a free-spirited school that encouraged her love of the arts. She joined the school's drama club, and though she had always been interested in acting, she soon started to think of it as a career choice. She also became an dedicated artist, and one of her paintings was displayed in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. She attended New York's High School of Performing Arts (better known as the Fame school), and after graduation, she worked off-Broadway and appeared in productions of For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave. After two years of occasional theatre and waitressing, Aniston decided to head for Hollywood, where she had little luck on auditions until her agent advised her to shed thirty pounds. (Aniston went through Nutri/System and gave a testimonial about the program on The Howard Stern Show) Soon she found work on several failed television shows, including Ferris Bueller, Molloy, The Edge, and Muddling Through.

It wasn't until she landed the role of Rachel Green in Friends that Aniston became a household mane — scores of women flocked to their hairdressers to demand the Rachel 'do. She emerged as "the sexy Friend," although co-stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow could hardly be considered short on looks. Aniston tributes and temples erupted in megabytes of fan pages all over the Internet, and her followers didn't just watch the show with the sound turned down (fans Beavis and Butt-Head suggested this for optimal viewing pleasure), but compiled episode lists and spent hours discussing whether Rachel and Ross (David Schwimmer) would finally break the sexual tension and just do it. The fact that Aniston has managed to gain such a following for playing a ditsy, spoiled waitress who's a little on the bitchy side is a tribute to her appeal.

She also starred with Quentin Tarrentino in an interactive tutorial CD-ROM directed by Steven Spielberg. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, camping, and getting closer to nature. She currently lives in the Hollywood Hills.
