Jennifer
Joanne Aniston (born February 11, 1969) is an
American actress, perhaps best-known for playing
Rachel Green on the television sitcom Friends,
and her much-publicized marriage to Brad Pitt.
Aniston
was born in Sherman Oaks, California, and is the
daughter of Cretan-Greek actor John Aniston
(originally Yannis Anastasakis, later
americanized to John Aniston) and his then-wife
Nancy Dow. Aniston's godfather is actor Telly
Savalas, her father's best friend. Aniston spent
much of her childhood in New York, where her
father won a role in the soap opera Love of Life
and later Search for Tomorrow. In 1985, the
family moved to Los Angeles when John Aniston
started on Days of Our Lives. Aniston's mother,
from whom she is now estranged, is an actress of
half Scottish, as well as English, and Italian
descent; through her, Jennifer is a direct
descendant of the royal House of Stuart of
Scotland.
Aniston
previously dated Adam Duritz and Tate Donovan in
low-profile relationships. Her pairing with
actor Brad Pitt was very high-profile in the
media. She married Pitt on July 29, 2000, in a
Malibu wedding. They separated on January 7,
2005, and Aniston officially filed for divorce
on March 25, 2005. The divorce was made final on
October 2, 2005. On August 25, 2005, David
Hesterbey was arrested for trespassing after
allegedly entering Aniston's Malibu home.
In
November 2005, Aniston was named GQ Magazine's
Woman of the Year.
She
is currently dating actor Vince Vaughn.
In
December 2005, Aniston sued paparazzo Peter
Brandt for taking photographs of her sunbathing
topless in her backyard. She was photographed
from more than a mile away.
