Jennifer
Garner, who has catapulted into stardom with her lead role
on the series "Alias" (2001), has come a long way from
her birthplace of Houston, Texas. Raised in Charleston, West Virginia,
by her mother Pat, a retired English teacher, and her father, Bill,
a former chemical engineer, Jennifer was the middle sibling of
three girls. She spent nine years of her adolescence studying ballet
and describes her years in dance as ones characterized by determination,
rather than talent, being driven mostly by a love of the stage.
Jennifer took this determination with her when she enrolled at
Denison University as a chemistry major, a decision that was later
changed to a drama major when she found that her passions for the
stage were stronger than her love of science. New York attracted
the young actress after college where she worked as a hostess while
pursuing a career in film and television. Her most recent move
has been to Los Angeles, a decision that led to a role on the show "Felicity" (1998)
where she met her future husband, Scott Foley. She has appeared
in numerous other television production as well as such films as
Pearl Harbor (2001) and Dude, Where's My Car? (2000). Jennifer
and her husband live in the San Fernando Valley with two dogs and
a cat. Aside from filming _Alias (2001)_ , Jennifer enjoys cooking,
gardening, hiking, and inspired by her character on the show, kickboxing.
