Jennifer Aniston was born in California, USA, in 1969. Her father was an actor and her mother was a model. Although the family lived a bit frugally during her childhood, they were a happy family until one day, when Jennifer was 9 years old, her father left and never returned. From then on, Jennifer was raised by her mother Nancy in a single-parent household. As a model, her mother was very strict with her, often criticizing her appearance. She would occasionally say, "Can't you make yourself look prettier?" or "Your face looks weird." Jennifer recalled that her mother was not only critical but also somewhat mean. Once, when Jennifer tried to rebel against her mother and yelled at her, Nancy's reaction was to look at her with a sneer, which felt like punching a pillow. Later, as Jennifer entered the entertainment industry, she gradually found her confidence, but her relationship with her mother did not improve at all.
