Jennifer Aniston may best be known as Rachel from Friends, but she got her acting start in off-broadway productions like For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave. She found her start on television with the 1990 show Molloy and the adaptation of Ferris Bueller. In 1994 she was cast as Rachel Green on Friends, the show that would earn her superstardom and win a Primetime Emmy, a Golden Globe, and multiple Screen Actors Guild awards. Today, she is currently one of the worlds highest-paid actresses.
While she is born to Greek actor John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow, her great-grandmother, Louise Greico, was born and raised in Italy.
