Ahead of her new show, Dumplin’, on Netflix – one where she plays an uptight pageant mum – Jennifer Aniston has publicly reflected on her own relationship with her late mother Nancy Row.
The pair were estranged for many years and in a new interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Aniston, 49, has said her mum put a lot of pressure on her to be a certain way growing up. “ “She was a model and she was all about presentation and what she looked like and what I looked like,” Aniston said. “I did not come out the model child she’s hoped for and it was something that really resonated with me.”
Aniston stopped speaking her Row in 1999 when the latter published a memoir titled From Mother and Daughter to Friends. “She was critical. She was very critical of me,” Aniston told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. “Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was. I honestly still don’t think of myself in that sort of light, which is fine. She was also very unforgiving. She would hold grudges that I just found so petty.”
Dumplin’ will hit Netflix on December 7.
