Jennifer Garner is smart, beautiful and a very talented actress. It’s very hard to believe that this style icon as a child was a cute, unattractive person without earrings, with her hair smoothly combed, dressed in an old-fashioned way, and wearing glasses with thick lenses. Conservative rules reigned in the family, so the girl did not use decorative cosmetics, dressed modestly, and avoided entertainment establishments. Perhaps this is why Garner literally fell in love with cinema, because on the screen you can be bold, liberated, and beautiful. Today Jennifer is one of the most stylish and fashionable stars in Hollywood.
Actress's childhood
Jennifer Garner was born in the American town of Houston (Texas) on April 17, 1972 in the family of a chemical engineer and an English teacher.
The actress has an older sister, Melissa, and a younger sister, Suzanne. By the way, as a child, Garner constantly competed with girls because she did not want to remain in their shadow. Melissa was an activist at school, danced, played the piano excellently, excelled in mathematics, and was a class leader. Compared to her, Jennifer was lost, although she was no worse than her sister. In high school, the girl learned to play the saxophone and became a member of the swimming team. In addition, for 9 years she worked hard at dancing. Jennifer was a sweet and modest girl in college who never drank alcohol or did drugs. To earn money, as a teenager, she worked part-time in a men's clothing store. In high school, the girl became interested in theater, although she did not act, but only built sets, sewed costumes, and sold tickets. Over time, Jennifer began to play episodic roles, she liked it, therefore, having entered the chemistry department at the University in Granville, she soon transferred to the theater department.
Studying and finding your way
Since childhood, Garner was sure that she was destined for the fate of a research assistant, but her passion for acting was so strong that the girl made the difficult decision to become an actress.
After graduation, Jennifer went to New York. There she played in the Broadway production of A Month in the Country, worked part-time as a waitress and went through a huge number of auditions in the hope that at least someone would notice her. Then Jennifer Garner moved to Los Angeles. The actress’s filmography might not have been replenished with any work if she had not managed to get a role in the television movie “Zoya,” in which the girl played the daughter of the main character. Directors began to notice the young talent, so Jennifer spent two years filming in various television series, and she was also trusted with small supporting roles in films.
First steps in the world of the film industry
Jennifer Garner increasingly began to receive offers after the release of the series “Happiness”, in which she played the role of Hannah. The girl participated in such projects as “Where’s My Car, Dude?”, “Pearl Harbor”. In 2000, D. Abrams, the producer of “Happiness,” invited the actress to star in the television project “Spy.” This film brought Garner worldwide fame, as the series became popular not only in the United States, but also far beyond its borders.
Jennifer's finest hour
An impeccable performance in the television series Alias allowed Jennifer Garner to win the leading role in the blockbuster Daredevil. The actress's filmography in 2003 was supplemented with one of her best works. The producers of Daredevil chose Jennifer from an impressive list of famous beauties. Garner had to master martial arts, and her experience of participating in stunt scenes in her past works also helped her. In a cameo role, Jennifer starred in Spielberg's film Catch Me If You Can, where she played a seductive former model. After these works, actress Jennifer Garner began to enjoy wild popularity. Her filmography was annually replenished with several successful films.
Best Garner films
Jennifer truly discovered the facets of her talent already in the new millennium.
Since 2000, she has been offered leading and episodic roles in major projects; minor films have become a thing of the past. It is worth noting the actress’s good performance in the comedy “Where’s My Car, Dude?”, in which she played the protagonist’s girlfriend. The small role of a nurse in Pearl Harbor was also a tiny step on the path to success. Garner gained worldwide fame for her role in the TV series Alias. The actress knew the producer of the film, but he could not take her due to lack of physical fitness. Jennifer was used to getting her way, so she took several taekwondo lessons. And at the final casting she managed to conquer everyone with her martial art. In this work, Garner demonstrated her mastery of transformation, as she played a simple girl and a ninja assassin.
Jennifer also performs well in the comedy genre. The romantic film “From 13 to 30” received positive reviews from both viewers and film critics. The actress also captivated everyone with her impeccable performance in the action-drama film “Kingdom” on the theme of the conflict in the Middle East.

Jennifer's personal life
Jennifer Garner's first husband is actor Scott Foley.
The couple met in 1998 on the set of the TV series “Felicity”; the young people got married in the fall of 2000. The marriage did not last long; the couple filed for divorce in 2003. Jennifer herself, commenting on the breakup, blamed everything on being too busy and inability to separate work and home. In fact, the problem was the betrayal of Garner, who began an affair with her colleague Michael Vartan on the set of the TV series Alias. Although after the completion of the divorce proceedings with Foley, the affair with the new boyfriend also exhausted itself. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck met on the set of the film Pearl Harbor. The couple, taught by bitter experience, hid the affair for a long time. Garner and Affleck announced their engagement in the spring of 2005. The wedding took place in June of the same year, while Jennifer Garner was pregnant. In 2005, daughter Violet Ann was born, in 2009 - daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, and in 2012 - son Samuel Garner Affleck.
