Jennifer Aniston's Greek great-grandfather actually fought in the Cretan Revolt against the Ottomans

Jennifer Aniston's Greek great-grandfather, Ioannis Anastassakis (or Yannis Anastassakis) actually fought in the Cretan Revolt against the Ottomans in 1878. A team of historians and professional genealogists at Greek Ancestry discover about it.

Aniston's father, John Aniston, moved to the US as a very small child and he shorthen his name Anastasakis to Aniston.

In the past, Aniston revealed that her Greek heritage is part of the secret behind her ageless beauty, "My dad is 100 percent Greek; he turned 81 and he barely has a wrinkle. And neither does my grandmother, who was 95 when she died".
