Jennifer Aniston’s estranged mom, former actress Nancy Dow, dies at 79
Nancy Dow, a former actress and mother to star Jennifer Aniston, died Wednesday at the age of 79.
The death, reported by In Touch magazine, reportedly came two weeks after the “Friends” star visited her estranged mom.
Dow was suffering from a series of strokes and had lost the ability to speak and walk, according to the gossip site.
“Jen must have had a wake-up call and wanted to see her mother one last time before she passes,” a source dished to the magazine.
The women have long had a tumultuous relationship since Dow published a tell-all book in 1999 titled “From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir”.
Nine years later, the mother-daughter duo broke their years of silence after Aniston’s high profile divorce from Brad Pitt.
"It's been really nice. It's crazy what, you know, your life kind of being turned upside down will lead you to. ... For us it's ... It was the time and it was going to happen when it was supposed to happen. So this is good. It's baby steps,” Aniston told “Good Morning America" at the time.
Still, the relationship reportedly remained strained with little contact. Aniston put their differences aside in 2011 when Dow suffered a stroke in Los Angeles.
Last year, the 47-year-old opened up on the rocky relationship, telling the Hollywood Reporter that Dow was “very critical."
“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 explained.
Despite describing the Aniston matriarch as “unforgiving,” Aniston stressed she wasn’t holding grudges.
“There are people in my life that are like, 'How do you even talk to that guy?' But what's the point of holding on to (anger)? That's so toxic,” she added.
Dow, a Connecticut native, briefly appeared on the small screen in the late 1960s, with roles in television shows “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “The Wild Wild West.”
She married soap actor John Aniston in 1965 and the pair divorced when Jennifer was 9-years-old.
