The actress was visibly emotional while reminiscing about her late cherished dog, Norman, and her unique connection with actress Shirley MacLaine, as reported by 'People' magazine.
During her appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' on Friday, September 12, Aniston could not contain her tears after receiving a touching video message from her 'Rumor Has It' co-star, who is now 91 years old. When Barrymore inquired, 'What is Shirley MacLaine like?', Aniston revealed, 'She believes that we were mother and daughter in a previous lifetime. I think it's why we had such an instant bond.'
According to 'People', the two starred together in the 2005 romantic comedy, in which MacLaine portrayed Aniston's grandmother. The 'Never Been Kissed' actress, who is 50, was then surprised by a heartfelt message from MacLaine and her daughter, Sachi Parker.

Aniston's beloved pup Norman, a mix of Welsh Corgi and Terrier, passed away in May 2011 at the age of 15. 'I was at (MacLaine's) ranch in New Mexico doing a past life regression retreat,' she recounted, adding with a laugh, 'Which sounds crazy when I say it like that.'
She then turned to Barrymore's dog, Douglas, who was nearby, asking, 'Are you worried about me because I'm crying? And my dog, I'm talking about Norman?'
The 'Friends' star has openly expressed her love for her pets in previous interviews. She is currently a dog mom to Lord Chesterfield and Clyde, following her first two dogs, Norman and Dolly, both of whom continue to hold a significant place in her heart.
