Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner was born 17th April 1972 in Houston, Texas.
In New York City, Garner earned $150 a week as an understudy in the play A Month in the Country for Roundabout Theatre Company in 1995. She was then cast in her first television role, a part in the made-for-television movie Zoya, based on the Danielle Steel novel. In 1996 she appeared in an episode of Spin City as the character James' high school sweetheart. Her next acting jobs were in two short-lived television series, Significant Others and Time of Your Life, and a recurring role in the series Felicity. Garner appeared in the comedy Dude, Where's My Car?, playing Ashton Kutcher's girlfriend. In 2001, she appeared as a nurse in the big-budget epic Pearl Harbor, co-starring with Kate Beckinsale and future husband Ben Affleck.
Garner gained recognition on television for her performance as CIA agent Sydney Bristow in the thriller dr Ama series Alias, which aired on ABC for five seasons from 2001 to 2006.
After the initial success of Alias, Garner made a big screen cameo in the Steven Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can in 2002. Her breakout film role came when she played Ben Affleck's love interest as Elektra Natchios in the action movie Daredevil (2003), an adaptation of the comic book.
Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby picked up during training for her Alias character). She is close friends with Reese Witherspoon and also close to actress Jean Louisa Kelly, who interviewed Garner for the June 2005 issue of Self magazine.
She married actor Scott Foley in October 2000. After separating from Foley in March 2003, Garner filed for divorce in May 2003, citing irreconcilable differences, and the two were officially divorced on March 30, 2004.
Following her divorce, Garner briefly dated Alias co-star Michael Vartan from June 2003 to March 2004.
She then started dating actor Ben Affleck and they married on June 29, 2005 in a private ceremony. On December 1, 2005, she gave birth to their daughter, Violet Anne Affleck, in Los Angeles, California. The couple's second child, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck, was born on January 6, 2009.
