Jennifer Aniston says goodbye to her father “I will love you until the end of time”

Very few people become world famous and recognized film and television stars. That is a fact, however that in Los Angeles and Hollywood even the employees of a gas station have something to do with the industry is also true. More than anything because this industry covers much more than its first figures, there are armies of representatives, makeup teams, hairdressing, casting, cameras, electricians, drivers, bodyguards. People who live on a set even if they don’t usually walk the red carpet. But, beyond that, there are just thousands and thousands of actors and actresses who work in an industry full of that somewhat lower profile. We are talking about those actors who have starred in dozens of telefilms, or who act for decades in daily soap operas that we tend to forget. John Aniston, Jennifer Aniston’s father, was one of them.

Anyone would say that the spotlight shone on Jennifer with ‘Friends’, with her beloved and long-awaited romance with Brad Pitt or with her subsequent and successful career in Hollywood. However, Aniston already grew up in a home where his father acted behind the scenes and appeared on television every day. Among other low-key jobs, John Aniston worked on Days of Our Live, a daily NBC soap opera, from 1970 until this year 2022. There are specifically 2,886 chapters that make us doubt who was the true television monster in that family.

Sweet dad… John Anthony Aniston. You were one of the most beautiful humans I have ever met. I am so thankful that you ascended to heaven in peace and without pain. And 11/11 no less! You always had the perfect moment. That number will always have even greater meaning to me now. I will love you until the end of time. Don’t forget to come back to visit.

With that emotional message, although something a mixture of Catholic belief and ghost movie synopsis, Jennifer said goodbye to her father John, who died at 89 years of age. Born in Greece in 1933, John played a character with a rather more Greek name on the series that served as his day job for 52 years. His daughter will be Rachel but for several generations he is called Victor Kiriakis. His work on television, in fact, earned him a Lifetime Achievement Emmy this year. An award that he had to collect his daughter, since health problems already prevented it.

This is an opportunity to not only pay tribute to a true icon in the world of television, but also to recognize the lifetime achievements of a great actor, who also happens to be my father.

The actor also participated, albeit briefly, in more recognized television series such as Mad Men, The West Wing of the White House either Gilmore Girls. However, it has been the community of Days of Our Live the one, logically, most affected by the loss of one of its longest-lived actors. Of course, we warn Aniston fans to think about paying tribute to her father by watching it, that beyond almost three thousand episodes of John Aniston, the series has more than 11 thousand episodes, and since 1975 they went from lasting 30 minutes to 1 full hour. better see friends umpteenth.
