In an interview with PeopleAniston opened up about her experience working with McCurdy.

Aniston shared many similar struggles with McCurdy due to her own relationship with her mother, Nancy Dow, who also died in 2016. Aniston suffered harsh criticism from her mother and detailed her experiences in interviews, which linked her to McCurdy and his memoir:

“She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was beautiful, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was. Honestly, I still don’t see myself in that kind of light, which is good.”
