Jennifer Garner Biography
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Anne Garner (born April 17, 1972 in Houston, Texas) is an American film and television actress.
Biography
Garner was born to Patricia Ann English (a teacher) and Billy Jack Garner, an engineer whose job with Union Carbide forced the family to relocate to Charleston, West Virginia when Jennifer was three years old, where Jennifer Garner remained until college. Jennifer studied ballet for nine years before enrolling at Denison University to study chemical engineering. Upon the realization that Jennifer Garner loved the stage more than engineering Jennifer Garner changed Jennifer Garner's major to drama.
Jennifer Garner currently stars as the character Sydney Bristow on the TV show Alias.
Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by Jennifer Garner's character on Alias). Jennifer Garner is a graduate of George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia (1990).
In 2005, Garner entered the Forbes Power 100 List of celebrities. Garner ranked as the 5th best paid actress in Hollywood, accumulating an estimated US$14 million over the year 2004/05. Jennifer Garner came 8th behind Cameron Diaz in the power rankings.
Garner is known for performing Jennifer Garner's own stunts, and in January 2005 Jennifer Garner was forced to bow out of some publicity duties for Jennifer Garner's film Elektra due to what was first thought to have been a viral infection. Media reports indicated that Jennifer Garner was in fact suffering the effects of nerve damage to Jennifer Garner's 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.
Jennifer Garner's production company, Vandalia Films will produce its first film in 2007; a remake of a Japanese Mystery Romance titled "Ima, ai ni yukimasu" roughly translated to "Be With You". Jennifer Garner will produce alongside American Beauty producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen. Garner is set to star in the remake.
In March 2005, Garner directed the episode "In Dreams" for Jennifer Garner's series, Alias, which aired in May.
For the fifth season of the show Jennifer Garner has been promoted to writer/producer level.
Jennifer Garner has received four consecutive Emmy (the most prestigous American television acting award) nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. During Jennifer Garner's first nomination in 2002, Jennifer Garner was expected by many people to win but lost out to "The West Wing"'s Allison Janney. The year of Jennifer Garner's second nomination, Jennifer Garner lost to Edie Falco for Jennifer Garner's powerful performance in "The Sopranos." For Garner's third nomination, Jennifer Garner again lost out to Janney. The most recent nomination in 2005 was not met with a win as "Medium"'s Patricia Arquette won.
Jennifer Garner has received four consecutive Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama, and won once. Jennifer Garner won on Jennifer Garner's first nomination, which was in January of 2002. "Alias" had just begun a few months ago, meaning Garner beat the other nominees even though only half the season (roughly 11 or twelve episodes) had aired.
Jennifer Garner won the Actor Award from the Screen Actors Guild in 2005. The category had only five nominees and is composed of all actresses in any dramatic roles, both lead and supporting.
Relationships
Interestingly, all of Garner's relationships are with Jennifer Garner's on-screen love interests, with whom Jennifer Garner played. In 2000, Garner married Scott Foley, who played with Jennifer Garner's on the television show Felicity. The two later separated and subsequently filed for divorce in 2003. Jennifer Garner then dated Jennifer Garner's Alias co-star Michael Vartan until mid-2004, when Jennifer Garner started dating Jennifer Garner's Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck. Nevertheless, Garner and Vartan remained close friends.
Garner has since been together with Affleck, a relationship which has garnered significant media attention. On May 7, 2005 E! News reported that multiple sources close to Garner confirmed that Jennifer Garner was 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 Caribbean, and that Garner is pregnant with Jennifer Garner's first child, a girl due in November. On September 27, 2005, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Garner "accidently" referred to Jennifer Garner's unborn child as "she," acknowledging that Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Garner's husband are expecting a girl. Although there has been rumors that Jennifer Garner may has gaven birth already on Thanksgiving or on Black Friday.
Jennifer Garner's pregnancy has been incorporated into Jennifer Garner's hit ABC show Alias. Garner is expected to be absent from several episodes that will be produced around and after the birth; as a result, the series added a new, Sydney Bristow-like character to the series that will take up the reins while Garner is indisposed.
