Born in California, Jennifer Aniston spent a year of her childhood living in Greece. Her family relocated to New York City where her parents, John Aniston and Nancy Dow, divorced when she was 9. Jennifer was raised by her mother.

Jennifer was 11 when she had her first taste of acting having 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”.
