Jennifer Aniston
Although both her parents were actors, as a child, Jennifer Aniston was discouraged from watching television. Growing up in Los Angeles to parents from the entertainment industry, however, it was almost inevitable that Aniston would end up in this career. At a young age, she moved to New York with her parents, where she studied in a Waldorf school and discovered acting.
While today she’s one of Hollywood’s most successful actresses (with a breakthrough role as Rachel Green in the popular sitcom Friends), when she started her journey, Jennifer Aniston was like any one of us. Despite her parents having connections in the industry, Aniston had to make her way up through minor roles, and while she studied acting in New York and tried her luck in small productions, she worked as a telemarketer.
