Jennifer garner

With Alias ​​series ​​series , which came late to our country, Jennifer Garner had already attracted attention for her ability to be convincing in dramatic moments, for her unquestionable attractiveness, and at the same time for being able to distribute tow left and right without need to resort to specialists in most scenes. And on top of that, she’s smart enough not to have gone to her head with this fame thing. “The greatest satisfaction that being popular has brought me is that my parents are proud of me. The best part was that I was in “Parade” magazine, which comes with the Sunday paper, so everyone in the church has seen it, and my parents are happy,” Garner explains humbly.

Born on April 17, 1972 in Texas, the actress moved when she was very young with her father, a chemical engineer, her mother, an English teacher, and her two sisters, to Charleston, a small town in Virginia. During her school years she gave ballet classes, a discipline in which she already stood out with her talent. When she finished high school, she began studying Chemistry, but she soon realized that her true vocation was dramatic art, so she abandoned her initial studies and enrolled in acting at the University of Denison. Once graduated, she works as a waitress in a restaurant, while she furthers her theatrical career, and in the end, she lands the odd role in small plays. In 1990, she moved to Los Angeles, where she intervened as a secondary in various successful television series, Like Law & Order and Spin City. He also gets small roles in renowned movies, especially inTaking Harry Down , Washington Square (The Heiress) , and Pearl Harbor . His longest role is for Dude, Where’s My Car? , a mindless teen comedy that still found some success. Her most remembered television intervention is performed in Felicity , in which she is assigned a secondary character who intervenes in several episodes. During filming, she fell in love with one of the leads, Scott Foley , who was a celebrity at the time. “When I started dating him, people thought I was his agent, and they gave me his business cards,” Jennifer recalls.

There is no doubt that he was going to be a decisive man in her life, since she would marry him in the year 2000 (although the latest gossipy information suggests that the couple has separated), and because he brought her a lot of luck in the professional field. . Shortly after meeting him, Scott told her about a planned series that he was going to produce, which had been written by JJ Abrams , also creator of Felicity , and in which she fit like a glove as the lead. It was about Alias, a series that made Garner a star in the United States. He wanted the part so badly that before he auditioned, he began a crash course in martial arts. “I called the guy who had the biggest ad in the yellow pages, Teacher Yu, because his school wasn’t too far from my house. I think he tried to kill me, because he made me go up and down the stairs ten times. He would make me punch for hours while he yelled at me ‘Hit the tiger, Jennifer, hit the tiger’. But for some reason I kept going, and when they called me to audition, I was already a second degree yellow belt,” Jennifer recalls.

Her character in the series is Sydney Bristow, a university student who, in addition to dealing with typical student problems, such as submitting assignments on time, is also an agent for an organization called SD-6. When she discovers that the organization does not depend on the CIA, as she believed, she becomes a double agent with a triple life. “I am impressed by the ease with which she interprets the dramatic scenes, and also that she is in excellent physical shape, and is able to shoot the fights herself, wearing tight plastic suits. She will not lack work in the future,” Quentin Tarantino himself declared about her , who took part in a double episode of her playing a supervillain.

Spielberg next offered her the role of Cheryl Ann in Catch Me If You Can . Although she had auditioned for Daredevil before starring in Alias , the success of the series finally convinced the producers that she was the right actress for the role of Elektra . She fears being typecast, so Jennifer Garner wants to show the public her comedic qualities in The Dream of My Life , a kind of female version of Big that the actress is currently shooting. Her character is a 13-year-old girl who unexpectedly transforms into a thirty-something. Her next projects are Glamorama, adapted from a Brett Easton Ellis novel byRoger Avary and Happy Endings , ten crossover tragicomic stories also featuring Ray Liotta and Lisa Kudrow . Her character in Daredevil has been so well received that there is talk of a spin-off, a movie starring Elektra , which would be shot in 2005.
