Before stepping into the eponymous role in the upcoming series based on Jennette McCurdy ‘s 2022 memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” Jennifer Aniston got to know the child-actor-turned-author. She told People that they bonded quickly, noting they “have a lot in common” and “had very similar moms.”

McCurdy rose to fame at just fifteen years old, becoming the co-star of the Nickelodeon sitcom “iCarly” alongside Miranda Cosgrove, Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor in 2007. The show ran for six seasons and then McCurdy co-led the spinoff “Sam and Cat” alongside Ariana Grande from 2013 through 2014. In “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” McCurdy recounts her turbulent experience as a child star, with an emphasis on the forceful role of her obsessive and abusive mother, Debra, who passed away in 2013.
