Buy Jennifer Garner Posters at AllPosters.com The Alias star and movie actress was born Jennifer Anne Garner on April 17, 1972 in Houston, Texas, and later moved with her family to Charleston, West Virginia where she grew up.

With an early interest in ballet, Garner's attention later turned to drama, in which she later majored at Granville, Ohio's Denison University. Following graduation, Garner moved to New York to audition for stage roles, winning an understudy role in the Broadway production of A Month in the Country only weeks after her arrival in the Big Apple.

Her next move was to Los Angeles, where she auditioned for TV bit parts. She landed roles in Spin City and Law and Order, and also won small roles in feature films such as Deconstructing Harry and In Harm's Way.

Garner's big break finally came in 1998 with her critically acclaimed recurring role as Hannah on Felicity, where she also met and married her co-star, Scott Foley (the couple divorced in 2003). Her role on Felicity also proved fortunate when the show's producer was looking to cast the role of Sydney Bristow on Alias in 2000, and recalled the young actress's star turn in the former show.

Today, Garner's role as the 'butt-kicking' spy in Alias has provided a springboard for similar roles on the big screen, most recently appearing as Elektra in the 2003 comic-book adaptation of Daredevil opposite Ben Affleck and Colin Farrell.

In 2005, Garner reprised her Daredevil the role in the feature film Elektra and took home a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in Alias, for which she was nominated for Best Actress at the 2005 Emmy Awards.
