Actress Jennifer Aniston is the daughter of actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow. Money issues were at the heart of the family’s early problems, but when John finally found work as a soap star, he walked out on the family to be with another woman. Jennifer’s relationship with her narcissistic mother Nancy crumbled when Nancy gossiped about Jennifer on a talk show, prompting Jennifer to cut off contact. Nancy further alienated Jennifer by publishing a book titled From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir which exploited her estranged relationship with Jennifer. Though Jennifer and her mother have somewhat reconciled, the truce seems to be an uneasy one.
