Jennifer Aniston presented a lifetime achievement award to her formerly estranged father John at the Daytime Emmy Awards this Friday.
John, 88, has spent nearly four decades on Days Of Our Lives - a soap opera that was frequently parodied on Jennifer's star-making sitcom Friends.
Although John was not on hand at Friday night's ceremony, Jennifer delivered a video address showering praise on her 'great and well-respected' father. 'It's an opportunity to not only pay tribute to a true icon in the daytime television world, but it's also a chance to recognize the lifelong achievements of a great and well-respected actor who also happens to be my dad,' she said.

'He started acting in 1962, garnering roles on all types of now-classic television programs like Combat!, Mission: Impossible, Kojak and later made many guest appearances on shows like Airwolf, Gilmore Girls, The West Wing, Star Trek: Voyager, Mad Men, the list goes on,' said Jennifer.
