Her father was famous for originating the role of Victor Kiriakas on Days of Our Lives, and played the character on and off for nearly forty years. Her mother was known for her roles in The Ice House, Mr. Terrific, and The Wild, Wild West. She also made cameo appearances in other popular television shows.

The couple shared one daughter (Jennifer Aniston) and co-parented Dow’s son from a previous relationship with Jack Melick. When Dow and Aniston divorced in 1980, John Aniston fathered a second child with his second wife, Sherry Rooney. Because of this, Jennifer Aniston has two half brothers: John Melick, and Alex Aniston.
