Jennifer Anistonmay be one of the most famous women in Hollywood today.
Jennifer was born to actors Nancy Dow and John Aniston.
Jennifer grew up around show business and ultimately decided to follow in her parents' footsteps as an adult.
Through the decades, Jennifer’s relationships with her mother and father played out in the media.
“My house was not a fun house to live in.
I was thrilled to get out,” she toldAllurein 2022.
“I think my mom’s divorce really screwed her up,” she added.
“Back in that generation it wasn’t like, ‘Go to therapy, talk to somebody.
Why don’t you start microdosing?’
It makes you feel very ashamed,” Nancy wrote (viaMama Mia).
After the book was published, she and Jennifer didn’t speak to each other for 15 years.
Nancy even missed out on her daughter’s wedding to Brad Pitt.
“I feel pretty good about the choices I’ve made.
The choice of not speaking to Mom for a whilethat’s ours.
Nobody else has to understand it,” she said.
Sadly, Nancy passed away in 2016.
“He’s not a good communicator,” she explained, perHollywood Life.
“He wasn’t around to do that.
Maybe don’t marry a Greek man, and just stick around.
That’ll do it,” she stated.
“We’ve made up,” she told Rolling Stone of her relationship with her dad in 1999.
“There’s still parts that are hard for me, but I’m an adult.
I can’t blame my parents anymore,” she added.
“I forgave my mom.
I forgave my father.
I’ve forgiven my family,” she told Allure in 2022.
“It’s important,” she said of forgiveness.
“It’s toxic to have that resentment, that anger.
I learned that by watching my mom never let go of it,” she added.
Sadly, Jennifer’s time with John and Nancy has passed.
