'I tried to rock the old Nancy Aniston 1970s look': Jennifer Aniston channeled a very unlikely source to play a kidnapped socialite in Life of Crime - her formerly estranged mother Nancy

The Golden Globe winner famously stopped speaking to the flame-haired 78-year-old after she gave a tell-all interview to Hard Copy in 1996.

Nancy then penned a pitiful 1999 memoir about their rift - From Mother and Daughter to Friends - which detailed Jennifer's various therapists and rise to fame.

Two strokes and a decade later, mother and daughter reconciled with Aniston telling the New York Post: 'Things are now fine between us. All of that is over, and we’re in touch with one another. Today Mom has moved from California and she's living in Colorado, and we speak, and it's all over.'

Life of Crime is a caper about a corrupt real estate developer (Tim Robbins) who refuses to pay his kidnapped wife's $1 million ransom so he can be with his mistress (Isla Fisher).

The dark comedy - in US theatres on Friday - is based on Elmore Leonard's 1978 novel The Switch (the prequel to Jackie Brown).

'I thought [Mickey Dawson] had such a beautiful arc and a powerful one. In that time, to write that for a woman in the '70s was pretty awesome,' Jennifer continued.

Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute, Schwimmer lives here [in New York City], so it's just not gonna happen.'
