Hey guys I'm so thankful for your support over the years. You mean so much to me. I wouldn't have been as successful as I've been without your help. Born in Sherman Oaks, California, I spent a year of my childhood living in Greece with my family. My family then relocated to New York City where my parents, John Aniston and Nancy Dow, divorced when I was 9. I was raised by my mother and my father landed a role, as Victor Kiriakis, on the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives" (1965). I had my first taste of acting at age 11 when I joined the 'Rudolf Steiner' School's drama club. It was also at the 'Rudolf Steiner' School that I developed my passion for art. I began my professional training as a drama student at New York's High School of the Performing Arts. In 1987, after graduation, I appeared in such Off-Broadway productions as "For Dear Life" and "Dancing on Checker's Grave". In 1989, I landed my first television role, as a series regular on "Molloy" (1990). I also appeared in "The Edge" (1992), "Ferris Bueller" (1990), and had a recurring part on "Herman's Head" (1991). By 1993, I was floundering. Then, in 1994, a pilot called "Friends Like These" came along. Originally asked to audition for the role of Monica, I refused and auditioned for the role of Rachel Green, the suburban princess turned coffee peddler. With the success of the series "Friends" (1994), I have become famous and sought-after as I turned my fame into movie roles during the series hiatus.
