“I was a dumpy teenager. My mom was a model
and was all about looks,
so I rebelled by going goth.
It took me years of peeling back the onion
to finally stop using makeup
as a mask and feel comfortable in my skin.”
- Jennifer Aniston

Jen talking to Marie Claire Magazine - July 2011
"I spent my first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes. I was struggling a little in New York, working as a waitress at Jackson Hole [diner], but not really getting any consistent acting work," Aniston remembers. "Then I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly. I still didn't make any decent money until I got on 'Friends.'"
Of course, the rest is history -- but she did have a backup plan - interior design! One thing she probably wouldn't be? A dentist. Or, at least the kind of dentist she portrays in "Horrible Bosses":

Bitten by the acting bug, Jennifer said she waitressed to make ends meet as she got older, before her super-success with “Friends.”
Unfortunately for many patrons of her food establishment, Jennifer was a bad food server.
“I dropped more than one Alpine burger in customers’ laps, and you just do not want all of that Swiss cheese and mushrooms in your pants. I wasn’t a good waitress, but I was told that I was very nice and charming, so people liked me anyway,” she told the mag.
The actress, who hits the big screen on July 8 in “Horrible Bosses,” alongside Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, said she eventually moved to Los Angeles after New York proved to be a tough market.
“I was struggling a little in New York, working as a waitress at Jackson Hole but not really getting any consistent acting work. Then I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly,” she said.
While she’s happy in her current job, Jennifer admitted she would have stayed in a creative discipline if acting hadn’t worked out.
“If I weren’t an actor; I’d be: Maybe an interior designer. I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored,” she said. “I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it’s beautiful. It’s like a beautiful work of art, and I’m very proud of it.”

Jen says, "It was pretty crappy. I came home from a birthday party and he was moved out. It was pretty abrupt." And, although the star was devastated, Aniston admits acting helped her deal with the situation.
She adds, "Sure, your dad leaves and disappears for a while, that's pretty brutal. But that's sort of the beauty of it. Like I said, I would never exchange any of it... Me making people laugh, finding the humour in things, trying to lighten up the mood between disgruntled parents, getting attention... It sort of was a survival technique."
