Jennifer Garner Biography
The following biography
is from
Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Jennifer Anne Garner (born April 17, 1972
in Houston, Texas) is an American film and television actress.
Although Garner was born in Texas, her
father's engineering job with Union Carbide forced the family to
relocate to Charleston, West Virginia when she was three years old,
where she remained until college. Jennifer studied ballet for nine years
before enrolling at Denison University as a chemical engineer. Upon the
realization that she loved the stage more than science she changed her
major to drama.
She currently stars as the character Sydney
Bristow on the TV show Alias.
Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking
and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by her character on Alias). She is a
notable graduate of George Washington High School in Charleston, West
Virginia (1990).
Garner is known for performing her own
stunts, and in January 2005 she was forced to bow out of some publicity
duties for her film Elektra due to what was first thought to have been a
viral infection. Media reports indicated that she was in fact suffering
the effects of nerve damage to her back, caused by a stunt during the
filming of Alias.
In addition to action films Garner has also
starred in the comedy 13 Going on 30 and the upcoming drama from
Susannah Grant (writer of Erin Brockovich) named Catch and Release.
Garner and Alias dad Victor Garber came
together to perform the Stephen Sondheim song "Side by Side" at the
Alzheimer's Association's 13th annual "A Night at Sardi's" gala in 2005.
In March 2005, Garner directed the episode
"In Dreams" for her series, Alias, which aired in May.

Relationships
In 2000, Garner married Scott Foley, who
had played her love interest on the television show Felicity. The two
later separated and subsequently filed for divorce in 2003. She then
dated her Alias co-star Michael Vartan until the summer of 2004.
Garner has since been together with her
Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck, a relationship which has garnered
significant media attention.
On May 7, 2005 E! News reported that
multiple sources close to Garner confirmed that she is pregnant.
On June 30, 2005 publicists for both
Affleck and Garner confirmed that the couple married the day before at
the Parrot Cay resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Carribbean,
and that Garner is pregnant with her first child, a girl due in
November. Her pregnancy will be incorporated into her hit ABC show
Alias.
[added by PSP: Jennifer gave birth to a
