Jennifer, who plays Rachel, was born in
Sherman Oaks, CA on February 11th, 1969. Jennifer is of Greek descent and even
spent a year living there with her family when she was a child. She later
relocated to New York when her father, John Aniston, landed a role on the show
"Love of Life". Because of her father, who stars on NBC's daytime
drama "Days of Our Lives", and her godfather, Telly Savalas, Jennifer
was exposed to acting at a very early age.
At age eleven, she joined the Rudolf
Steiner School's drama club. Jennifer says, "I was always fascinated by
acting, but my experience at Rudolf Steiner encouraged me to pursue it as a
career. Steiner was a free-spirited school that encouraged creativity and
individualism." It was here that she developed a passion for art. That same
year, one of Jennifer's paintings was displayed in New York's Metropolitan
Museum of Art. She then went on to New York's High School of the Performing Arts
to begin her professional training. After she graduated in 1987, she got roles
in the Off-Broadway productions "For Dear Life" and "Dancing on
Checker's Grave". In 1989 she got her first television role as a regular on
"Molloy". She also has had regular roles on "The Edge" and
"Ferris Bueller"(the TV show), along with a recurring part on
"Herman's Head", and apperances on "Quantum Leap" and
"Burkes Law".
During this summer's hiatus, Jennifer can
be seen in the upcoming movie "She's the One". She also just completed
the feature film "Dreams for an Insomniac" starring Ioke Skye and
Mackenzie Astin.
Jennifer currently lives in Los Angeles
and enjoys hiking, camping, and activities that bring her closer to nature. She
also likes to spend a lot of time working on art projects.
