She was born in Los Angeles, California, to Greek-born actor John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow. Her mother’s ancestry includes English, Irish, Scottish, and a small amount of Greek. Her father’s godfather was actor Telly Savalas, one of her father’s best friends. As a child she moved to New York City. She discovered acting at age 11 at the Waldorf school, and enrolled in Manhattan’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.
She performed in The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window by Lorraine Hansberry and Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov. She starred as a teenager going to summer camp in the made-for-television film Camp Cucamonga, and as a spoiled daughter followed by a vengeful leprechaun in the horror film Leprechaun. She appeared in Ferris Bueller, a television adaptation of the 1986 film Ferris bueller’s Day Off; both series were quickly canceled. In 1988, she had an uncredited minor role in the critically panned sci-fi adventure film Mac and Me.
