Jennifer Aniston's next role might hit uncomfortably close to home.

In her book - released by Simon & Schuster on August 9, 2022 - McCurdy discusses the complicated relationship she had with her late mother Debra (to be played by Aniston). After news broke of the A-lister's casting, a source told the Daily Mail exclusively: 'This is a very poignant role for Jen to say the very least' (Jennifer pictured with her parents in 1975) She visited her mother on May 12, 2016, breaking a years-long estrangement as Dow's health had taken a downturn amid multiple strokes, rendering her unable to walk or speak in her final days, In Touch Weekly reported at the time.
