Happy Birthday to Hollywood’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston who was born on February 11, 1969, in California, to Greek actor John Aniston and English actress Nancy Dow.
Jennifer spent a year of her childhood living in Greece with her family, mainly in Athens and Crete, where her family is from. They then relocated to New York City, where Jennifer’s father landed his role as “Victor Kiriakis” on the daytime soap “Days of Our Lives” and her Godfather was Greek American actor Telly Savalas.
Aniston has, on numerous occasions, credited her unique and flawless appearance to her Greek background. “My dad is 100 per cent Greek; he turned 85, and he barely has a wrinkle. And neither did my grandmother, who was 95 when she died,” she says.
Jennifer had her first taste of acting at age 11 when she joined a drama club and developed a passion for the arts. She began her professional training as a drama student at New York’s School of Performing Arts, “Fame” school.
After many Broadway, television and film appearances, in 1994, a pilot called “Friends Like These” came along. Originally asked to audition for “Monica”, Aniston refused and auditioned for the role of “Rachel Green”, the suburban princess turned coffee peddler. With the worldwide success of Friends, Jennifer became a household name in Hollywood and famous around the globe.
Since then, Jennifer has concentrated on films and is now known as a leading film actress, with hits including Horrible Boss, Bruce Almighty, Marley & Me and The Break-Up and only recently, the morning show.
Anitson took to Instagram on Thursday, February 9, to share a snap of her final day on set of The Morning Show season 3 with the crew and her costar Reese Witherspoon.
"That’s a wrap on Season 3 👏🏼Love love LOVE this @themorningshow crew —❤️ So much more to come 😘💥!!" Aniston penned alongside the sweet photo of the Legally Blonde star and staffers on the hit Apple TV+ series.
Witherspoon could not help but reciprocate the love for her fellow Hollywood powerhouse, writing in the comments section, "Love you and Our whole cast & crew SO MUCH!! ❤️."
Χρόνια Πολλά to Jennifer on this special milestone birthday!
