#49: Nancy Dow
Known as: Actress, mother to Jennifer Aniston
Net Worth: $3 million
Children: 2
Nancy Dow, the celebrated actress, and her marriage to fellow actor John Aniston bore them a daughter, Jennifer. However, their family dynamic took a tumultuous turn, and Jennifer and Nancy found themselves estranged for an extended nine-year period, one that persisted until Nancy’s passing.
The catalyst for this prolonged estrangement was Nancy’s memoir, “From Mother and Daughter to Friends,” penned in 1999. Within its pages, Jennifer was depicted in a less-than-favorable light, causing a deep rift between mother and daughter. While a brief reconciliation occurred following Jennifer’s divorce from actor Brad Pitt, their fragile relationship once again deteriorated. Jennifer Aniston attributed this feud to her perceived failure in living up to the expectations of being a “model child.”
