After channeling an inner strength she never realized she possessed, actress Jennifer Garner, who was at first viewed as the pristine girl next door, won over the hearts of her fans.
Early roles for Garners included a few TV movies, various series guest spots, a few small roles in big-budget movies like “Washington Square” (1997), and a recurring part on the successful drama “Felicity” (The WB, 1998-2002).
She first came to public recognition in supporting parts opposite Ashton Kutcher in the slacker comedy “Dude, Where’s My Car?” (2000) and the high-profile WWII epic “Pearl Harbor” (2001), which also starred her future husband Ben Affleck.
But it was her breakout performance as Sydney Bristow, the tough-as-nails super spy on the action-adventure series “Alias” (ABC, 2002-06), that transformed the hitherto snobbish actress into a leading lady to be reckoned with.
Jennifer Garner is the stage name of American actress Jennifer Anne Garner. Garner rose to fame for her portrayal of CIA agent Sydney Bristow in the ABC spy-action thriller Alias, which aired from 2001 to 2006. This was after she played a supporting role in Pearl Harbor (2001). She garnered four Primetime Emmy Award nominations, a Golden Globe Award, a SAG Award, and both for her work on the show.
On April 17, 1972, in Houston, Texas, the United States, Jennifer Garner was born.
