The actress was born to a Greek father and a mother named Nancy Dow who was of Scottish and Italian descent. According to Wargs.com Nancy Dow is half Italian.
Her father’s name was Yannis Anastassakis, a friend of actor Telly Savalas. Savalas is actually Aniston’s God-father.
Aniston has some ancestors named Wheeler and Taylor suggesting that she may have some English heritage too.

Celebrities sharing the same heritage:
Italian? That explains the curves-hips
Italians caucasian? Really? A lot of Italians look Middle Eastern.
Shes also part English.
According to some websites, she’s a direct descendant of the royal House of Stuart of Scotland through her mother.
There have been a lot of horrible comments about Jennifer Aniston doing the rounds on the web of late. I consider she looks wonderful, especially following losing a few kilos.
Newsflash, Leanna1991: Greek, Scottish, Italian are…. WHITE!
leanna 1991: you are so racist.
Youre right Tink79, this site is more about ethnicity than race therefore its supposed to be as specific as possible
To Leanna1991: All three nationalities (Greek, Italian, & Scottish) are caucasian so yes she is a white girl but as was stated above this site is about more than race it is about her cultural background.
It goes farther than 6 generations on some peoples…..
that wargs page is a good reference but is limited after six generations. it appears that some of her ancestors had lived in Maine USA for many generations therefore it is hard to identify their previous origins. Ill put her as Greek, Scottish, Italian as those are the only three we can be certain of at the moment.
She’s only Greek, Italian, and Scottish. Her mom’s mom was Italian and her mom’s dad was Scottish. It’s on Wikipedia.org and on Wargs. It doesn’t say anything about England/English on there, It only has Greece, Scotland, and Italy on Wargs.com
Yeah she is White “Leanna1991″ but this is a website about ETHNIC BACKGROUND not just her race BUT HER CULTURAL HERITAGE.
do you have a source for that?
her middle name isn’t Joanna it’s Linn..
she still looks like a white girl so who cares.
Thanks for the link
She is also of Italian descent too. reference:http://wargs.com/other/aniston.html
