Jennifer Anne Affleck (née Garner; April 17, 1972), better known as Jennifer Garner, is an American actress and film producer. Garner is the second of three daughters born into a middle class family in Houston, Texas. Garner’s conservative upbringing included going to church every Sunday, not wearing make-up or a bikini, and waiting at least until the age of 16 to be allowed to get her ears pierced, which, she later joked, made her family “just a step away from being Amish.” She began taking ballet lessons at the age of three and continued to dance throughout her youth, but she did not envision herself becoming a classical ballerina. Garner made her first big screen appearance of the 21st century in the comedy Dude, Where’s My Car?, playing Ashton Kutcher’s character’s girlfriend. The series concluded in May 2006 after a shorter fifth season that was abbreviated from 22 to 17 episodes due to Garner’s pregnancy, which was written into the season’s storyline. Her second lead role saw her reprising the character of Elektra in the 2005 Daredevil spin-off titled Elektra, a box office disaster that was panned by critics. After that film’s premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, Entertainment Weekly declared Garner’s work the best female supporting performance of the festival, saying, “The star of Alias and The Kingdom does no butt-kicking in this sweet comedy.
