Early Life
Born Jennifer Joanna Aniston on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California, she is 57 years old. Acting ran in the family: her father was Days of Our Lives actor John Aniston (1933–2022), and her mother was actress Nancy Dow (1936–2016). She trained at New York's LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts before working her way up through off-Broadway productions and small television roles.
Friends Breakthrough
Everything changed in 1994, when Aniston was cast as Rachel Green on NBC's Friends. Across ten seasons (1994–2004), Rachel's humor, style, and on-off romance with Ross made Aniston a global icon. Her performance earned her a Primetime Emmy Award in 2002, along with a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
Film Career
Alongside Friends, Aniston built one of the most bankable comedy film careers of the 2000s. Her credits include Bruce Almighty (2003), The Break-Up (2006), Marley & Me (2008), Horrible Bosses (2011), We're the Millers (2013), and the Netflix hit Murder Mystery (2019).
The Morning Show
In 2019, Aniston returned to television in a dramatic leading role as anchor Alex Levy on Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, which she also executive-produces. The role brought her renewed critical acclaim and major award nominations. Season 5, premiering in 2027, has been announced as the show's final season — read our The Morning Show wrap news for the latest.
Personal Life & Business
Aniston's high-profile marriages — first to Brad Pitt (2000–2005), covered in our Brad Pitt biography, and later to Justin Theroux (2015–2018) — made worldwide headlines; she has no children. Beyond acting, she co-founded the production company Echo Films and launched the haircare brand LolaVie. Her net worth is estimated at ~$320 million by celebrity-finance sites.
