Jennifer Garner Biography |
||
|
Jennifer was born in Texas, the daughter of Patricia Ann and Billy Jack Garner. She is the middle child between two sisters, Melissa Garner Wylie and Susannah Kay Garner Carpenter. When she was four years old, her father`s job with Union Carbide relocated her family to Princeton, West Virginia, then to Charleston, West Virginia, where Jennifer lived until her college years.
Jennifer and her sisters had a very strict home life as children. They were expected to attend church every Sunday, were not allowed to go to movies or wear make-up, and had to wait until they reached the age of 16 before they were allowed to have their ears pierced. Although Susannah broke the rules and had her ears pierced before she was 16, and Melissa had her’s pierced at 16, Jennifer did not have her ears pierced until the age of 27. In 1995, she moved to New York to work in theater, earning $150 a week as an understudy in a play. This led to her first screen role in the movie "Zoya", followed by a number of minor TV roles. In 2001, she was cast in the lead role in a new action show, "Alias". This proved to be her big break, and the rest, as they say, is history... |

I picked out the diamond cuff and the hair clip, and then they showed me the most gorgeous pair of earrings I`d ever seen. It wasn`t until I came to try them on that I realized they`d forgotten I didn`t have pierced ears. They could see how much I loved them, and how disappointed I was that I couldn`t wear them, so they said that, if I really wanted to, they could pierce my ears for me there and then. That would give them enough time to heal before the ceremony, and I could then wear the earrings. And I really did want to wear those earrings, so I said `OK`, and they pierced my ears for me before I left the boutique. It felt a bit odd to have them done, although I did have them pierced for a couple of weeks a few years back for a movie I was in, but it was worth it because I knew it meant I`d be wearing those fabulous earrings to the ceremony."Trivia In early 2006, she had to have her ears pierced specially for the $250,000 diamond earrings she wore to that year`s Oscars ceremony. | ||
