Early life

Jennifer Anne Garner was born on April 17, 1972, in Houston, Texas and moved to Charleston, West Virginia at age three. Her father, William John Garner, received his undergraduate and graduate degree in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University and worked as a chemical engineer for Union Carbide; her mother, Patricia Ann English, was a homemaker and later an English teacher at a local college.[2][3][4] She has two sisters.[5][6] Garner has described herself as a typical middle child who sought to differentiate herself from her accomplished older sister.[7][8] While Garner did not grow up in a politically active household,[9] her father was "very conservative" and her mother "quietly blue".[10] She attended a local United Methodist Church every Sunday and went to Vacation Bible School.[11] As teenagers, she and her sisters were not allowed to wear makeup, paint their nails, pierce their ears, or dye their hair;[12][13] she has joked that her family's "take on the world" was "practically Amish".[14]

She attended George Washington High School in Charleston.[15] In 1990, Garner enrolled at Denison University in Granville, Ohio,[16] where she changed her major from chemistry to theater[17] and was a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi.[18] She spent the fall semester of 1993 studying at the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut.[19] During college summers, she worked summer stock theatre.[20] In 1994, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theater performance.[21]

Career

1990s

As a college student, Garner performed in summer stock theatre. In addition to performing, Garner helped sell tickets, build sets, and clean the venues.[22][23] She worked at the Timber Lake Playhouse in Mount Carroll, Illinois, in 1992,[24] the Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan, in 1993,[25] and the Georgia Shakespeare Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1994.[26] Garner moved to New York City in 1995.[27] During her first year in the city, Garner earned $150 per week as an understudy for a Roundabout Theatre Company production of A Month in the Country[8][28] and made her first on-screen appearance as Melissa Gilbert's daughter in the romance miniseries Zoya.[29] In 1996, she played an Amish woman in the television movie Harvest of Fire[30] and a shopkeeper in the Western miniseries Dead Man's Walk.[31] She appeared in the independent short film In Harm's Way[32] and made one-off appearances in Spin City, and the legal dramas Swift Justice and Law & Order. Garner also supplemented her income by working as a hostess at a restaurant on the Upper West Side,[33] as well as by doing some babysitting, specifically watching Madeleine Colbert, the daughter of Stephen and Evie Colbert.[34][35]

After moving to Los Angeles in 1997, Garner gained her first leading role in the television film Rose Hill[36] and made her first feature film appearance in the period drama Washington Square.[37] She appeared in the comedy film Mr. Magoo, the independent drama 1999 and Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry, though most of her performance was cut from the film.[38] In 1998, Garner appeared in an episode of Fantasy Island and was cast as a series regular in the Fox drama Significant Others,[39] but Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly thought there was "no center" to the character as played by Garner.[40] Fox canceled the series after airing three of six filmed episodes. Garner's most significant role of 1998 was in J. J. Abrams' college drama series Felicity.[41] In 1999, Garner was cast as a series regular in another Fox drama series, Time of Your Life, but it was canceled midway through the first season.[42] Also in 1999, she appeared in the miniseries Aftershock: Earthquake in New York and in two episodes of the action drama series The Pretender.

2000s

Garner played the girlfriend of Ashton Kutcher's character in the comedy Dude, Where's My Car? (2000). In 2001, she appeared briefly opposite her husband Scott Foley in the drama Stealing Time and had a small role as a nurse in the war epic Pearl Harbor.[43] Also in 2001, Garner was cast as the star of the ABC action thriller series Alias.[2] The show's creator, J. J. Abrams, wrote the part of Sydney Bristow with Garner in mind.[44][45] Alias aired for five seasons from 2001 to 2006; Garner's salary began at $40,000 per episode and rose to $150,000 per episode by the series' end.[46] During the show's run, Garner received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama (from four nominations) and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series (from two nominations), in addition to four nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

While Alias was airing, Garner continued to work in film intermittently. She had an "other-worldly" experience when Steven Spielberg called to offer her a role as a high-class call girl in the crime comedy-drama film Catch Me If You Can (2002).[47] After seeing her in Alias, Spielberg was sure that "she would be the next superstar".[48] She filmed her scene opposite Leonardo DiCaprio during a one-day shoot.[49] Garner's first co-starring film role was in the action superhero film Daredevil (2003), in which she played Elektra to Ben Affleck's Daredevil.[50] The physicality required for the role was something Garner had discovered "an aptitude for" through her work on Alias.[47][51] Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times wrote that she "realizes Elektra more through movement than by way of her lumpy, obvious lines. She hasn't mastered the combat skill of tossing off bad material."[52] While Daredevil received mixed reviews, it was a box office success.[53] Also in 2003, she voiced herself in an episode of The Simpsons.

Garner's first leading film role, in the romantic comedy 13 Going on 30 (2004), was widely praised. She played a teenager who finds herself trapped in the body of a thirty-year-old. Garner chose Gary Winick to direct the film[54] and they continued to look for other projects to do together until his death in 2011.[55][56] Manohla Dargis of the Los Angeles Times found her to be "startling": "Whenever she's on screen you don't want to look anywhere else."[57] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly called it an "utterly beguiling" performance, writing, "You can pinpoint the moment in it when Garner becomes a star."[58] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post remarked: "Garner is clearly cut out to be America's next Sweetheart; she has the same magic mix of allure and accessibility that the job calls for."[59] 13 Going on 30 grossed $96 million worldwide.[60] Garner reprised the character of Elektra in the 2005 Daredevil spin-off film Elektra; it was a box office and critical failure.[61] Claudia Puig of USA Today concluded that Garner "is far more appealing when she's playing charming and adorable, as she did so winningly in 13 Going on 30".[62] Garner next starred in the romantic drama Catch and Release. Although filmed in 2005 in between seasons of Alias, it was not released until early 2007 and failed to recoup its production budget.[63] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised Garner's ability "to blend charm and gravity"[64] but Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle felt that, while her "natural beauty and likability are still assets, [she] seems occasionally challenged by what should be an easy role".[65]

After a one-year break following the conclusion of Alias, her wedding to Affleck, and the birth of her first child, Garner returned to work in 2007. Her supporting role in Juno as a woman desperate to adopt a child was described by Kyle Buchanan of New York Magazine as a turning point in her career: "She came into the movie a steely figure, and left it as the mother you'd give your own child to ... Writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman expertly deploy Garner's innate humanity as a trump card."[66] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly said Garner had never "been lovelier or more affecting".[67] Also that same year, she played an FBI investigator in the action thriller The Kingdom.[68][69] She was nursing her baby during filming in Arizona and was hospitalized on two occasions with heatstroke.[70]

In late 2007 and early 2008, Garner played Roxanne to Kevin Kline's Cyrano de Bergerac at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway. In preparation for the role, Garner worked with vocal and movement coaches and took French lessons.[28] Ben Brantley of The New York Times described her performance as "captivating": "Ms. Garner, I am pleased to report, makes Roxane a girl worth pining over ... [She] speaks Anthony Burgess's peppery rhymed translation with unaffected sprightliness. If she's a tad stilted in the big tragic finale, her comic timing is impeccable."[71] The New Yorker's theater critic was impressed by her "feistiness" and "lightness of comic touch".[72] The play was recorded before a live audience and aired on PBS in 2008. In 2007, Garner became a spokesperson of skin care brand Neutrogena.[73]

Garner co-starred in two romantic comedies in 2009. She first appeared in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, portraying the childhood friend of a famous photographer and womanizer. While the film received lukewarm reviews, it grossed $102.2 million worldwide.[74] Michael Phillips of The Chicago Tribune found Garner "easy to like and sharp with her timing"; he was disappointed to see her as "the love interest, which is not the same as a rounded character".[75] Similarly, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times was dismayed to see Garner appear as "less a co-star than a place holder (you can almost see the words "enter generic female lead" in [the] screenplay)".[76]

Garner's second performance of 2009 was in comedian Ricky Gervais's directorial debut The Invention of Lying. Gervais was keen to cast Garner—"always happy and always pleasant to everyone"—against type.[77] In the film, she played the love interest of the first human with the ability to lie in a world where people can only tell the truth. Reviews for the movie were mixed and it made $32.4 million worldwide.[78] David Edelstein of New York Magazine said Garner "proves again (the first time was 13 Going on 30) what a dizzying comedienne she is. She looks as if the wheels in her head are not just turning but falling off and needing to be screwed back on,"[79] while Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said Garner "has never been better onscreen ... Garner gets to show a comic facility we haven't seen before."[80]

2010s

In Garry Marshall's ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day (2010), Garner shared scenes with Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, and Patrick Dempsey.[81] The film made $56.2 million in its US opening weekend; it eventually grossed $110.4 million domestically and $216.4 million worldwide.[81] In 2011, she had a supporting role as a villainous deranged bride in the comedy Arthur, a remake of the 1981 film of the same name, directed by Jason Winer and co-starring Russell Brand and Helen Mirren.[82][83]

Garner played a mother for the first time in 2012,[7] in the drama The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which followed a magical pre-adolescent boy whose personality and naïveté have profound effects on the people in his town.[84] The film received mixed reviews from critics and made a modest $56 million worldwide.[85][86] Claudia Puig of USA Today found Garner "convincing as a warm-hearted, if tense, mom"[87] while Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune said she brought "fervent sincerity and a welcome touch of comic eccentricity" to the role.[88] That same year, Garner produced and starred in the satirical comedy Butter, in which she played an overly competitive and socially ambitious woman participating in a local butter sculpturing competition in a small Iowa town. Distributed for a limited release in certain parts of the United States only, Butter received mixed reviews and grossed $105,018.[89][90] Peter Debruge of Variety praised "the best bigscreen use of Jennifer Garner's comedy gifts since 13 Going on 30".[91] while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone described her as the "best in show": "[She] knows how to play comedy of the absurd."[92] However, Scott Bowles of USA Today remarked: "Garner is a terrific actress, but here she's asked to cackle her lines in a voice a full octave above her natural one."[93] Also in 2012, she appeared in the YouTube short Serena,[94] and became a spokesperson for food company Luvo.[95]

Garner reunited with Matthew McConaughey in the 2013 biographical drama Dallas Buyers Club, portraying the role of a doctor treating AIDS patients in Texas during the mid-1980s.[96][97] The film received significant acclaim and was a box office success.[98] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone described Garner as "a radiant actress of rare spirit and sensitivity"[99] and Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times said: "Garner is once again cast as a quintessentially decent, all-American girl, albeit a doctor. But the question of whether the actress has deeper emotional layers to bring to the screen is not answered here."[100] David Edelstein of New York magazine said: "It's not a well-shaped role, but I've gotten to the point where I'm happy to see Garner in anything. She's incapable of phoniness."[101] Also in 2013, Garner became the first celebrity spokesperson of the Italian fashion brand Max Mara.[102]

In 2014, Garner starred in the sports drama Draft Day, as the fictional salary cap analyst of the Cleveland Browns. Critical reception toward the film was mixed and Mick LaSalle of The San Francisco Chronicle, describing her part, remarked: "It's not much of a role, but she's perfectly nice in it. Perhaps someday someone will give Garner a chance to be something other than perfectly nice."[103] Garner also co-starred with Steve Carell in the 2014 Disney adaptation of the popular children's book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, taking on the role of the mother of the titular character. The film grossed $101 million worldwide.[104] Sandie Angulo Chen of the Washington Post said: "Garner, who has long mastered the art of playing harried and overworked moms, is pleasantly frazzled."[105] Her other film role in 2014 was that of an overprotective mother in the dramedy Men, Women & Children, directed by Jason Reitman and co-starring Rosemarie DeWitt, Judy Greer, Dean Norris, and Adam Sandler. The film made $2.2 million worldwide,[106] and Christopher Orr of The Atlantic said: "Garner does what she can as the Snooping Mom from Hell, but ultimately it's not much. The role is like a caricature of her performance in Juno, minus the ultimate (and essential) redemption."[107] In late 2014, Capital One signed Garner as their spokesperson for their Capital One Venture Air Miles credit card.[108]

In 2015's Danny Collins, a drama inspired by the true story of folk singer Steve Tilston and starring Al Pacino and Annette Bening, Garner played the supporting role of the wife of Bobby Cannavale's character. The film was released in selected cinemas and was warmly received by critics; Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post felt Garner gave the movie "a powerful jolt of emotion".[109] In 2016, Garner appeared in the Christian drama Miracles from Heaven, playing the mother of a young girl who had a near-death experience and was later cured of an incurable disease. The film grossed $73.9 million worldwide[110] and received generally mixed reviews from critics, who felt it "makes the most out of an outstanding performance" from Garner.[111] Ken Jaworowski of The New York Times praised a "dedicated" and "heartfelt" performance,[112] while Nigel Smith of The Guardian found "her subtly wrought work ... tremendously effective" in an otherwise "crassly manipulative" film.[113] Also in 2016, Garner starred in the critically panned comedy Nine Lives, playing the second wife of a workaholic father who has his mind trapped inside of his daughter's new cat. Garner made an uncredited cameo appearance in Mother's Day (2016).

Garner appeared in the drama Wakefield, which premiered at TIFF and was released in May 2017.[114] Also in 2017, she starred in The Tribes of Palos Verdes, and in friend Judy Greer's directorial debut A Happening of Monumental Proportions.[115][116] In 2018, she co-starred in Love, Simon, an adaptation of the young-adult novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.[117] Talking about the film in 2026, Garner said: "it’s the most important film I’ve ever been a part of. I’m so grateful that (Greg Berlanti) asked me. I’m so grateful that I got to play the role and be that mom. I hear from people ... ‘You know, Love, Simon, helped me. I saw it with my parents. It really helped us have a conversation...' Art helps you see yourself. It helps you see yourself reflected back. It helps you dream. It helps you see outside of yourself and think and experience someone else’s experience of the world and have more openness and empathy for them."[118] Also that year, Garner voiced the role of Mama Llama for Netflix's original animated preschool series Llama Llama, and starred as the lead in the action-revenge film Peppermint, which was released on September 7.[119]

In August 2018, Garner was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[120] Variety praised her "radiant likability" and said she was second only to Tom Hanks.[121] Also in 2018, she had a leading role in the HBO comedy series Camping, which was based on the British television series of the same name.

2020s

In 2020, Garner starred in the Quibi comedy miniseries Home Movie: The Princess Bride, a "fan made" recreation of the 1987 film of the same name produced in social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Filmed in a deliberately DIY fashion, it was created to raise money for World Central Kitchen.[122] She also produced and starred in the Netflix family comedy film Yes Day, directed by Miguel Arteta and released in March 2021.[123][124]

In 2022, Garner starred in the science fiction action film The Adam Project, which reunited her with her 13 Going on 30 co-star Mark Ruffalo. That same year, she made a guest appearance in an episode of the Amazon Prime Video science fiction comedy series Upload.

In 2023, she appeared as a series regular in the revival of the Starz sitcom Party Down.[125] Also that year, Garner executive produced and starred as Hannah Hall in the Apple TV+ limited mystery drama series The Last Thing He Told Me, which is based on the novel of the same name.[126]

She also sang "My Funny Valentine" when hosting a 2003 episode of the sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, on which Beck was the musical guest; she was not credited for either performance. Garner was one of the fourteen actors, not generally known for singing, who participated in the compilation album Unexpected Dreams – Songs from the Stars, released on April 4, 2006, on which album she sang a solo version of "My Heart Is So Full Of You", from Frank Loesser's The Most Happy Fella; the original version had been a duet. Victor Garber, who she co-starred with in Alias, was another such actor on the same compilation album. In 2016, Garner sang "Doin' It (All for My Baby)" in the Garry Marshall comedy-drama Mother's Day, and in 2021, she interpreted the Four Tops's 1964 chart selection "Baby I Need Your Loving" in the family comedy Yes Day.[130]

Early childhood education activism

In 2009, Garner became an artist ambassador for Save the Children USA, promoting national literacy, nutrition, and early education efforts.[131][132] Since 2014,[133] Garner has served on the board of trustees for the organization,[134][135][136] advocating for early childhood education.[137] As an ambassador, she frequently visits with families involved in the organization's Early Steps to School Success program, which coaches families to help children learn in the early years.[138]

In 2011, Garner partnered with Frigidaire as part of her work with Save the Children.[139] In 2013, Garner took her eldest daughter Violet to a Save the Children gala in New York: "My husband and I have never taken our kids to a public event before, but I brought my daughter Violet, because ... I want her to see the passionate commitment Mark Shriver and Hillary Clinton have to make the world a better place for everyone."[140] In 2014, she joined the Invest in Us campaign.[135] In 2015, she appeared in A Path Appears, a PBS documentary that focuses on rural poverty among children in West Virginia.[141]

Democratic political support

In 2002, Garner filmed a 30-second television advertisement for her childhood friend Corey Palumbo, who was running as a Democratic candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates.[142] In 2006, she spoke at a rally in support of Democratic congressional candidate Jerry McNerney in Pleasanton, California.[143] In 2007, Garner said she was "not a particularly outwardly political person".[70] Also in 2007, she appeared in a global warming awareness video produced by the Center for American Progress Action Fund.[144]

Anti-paparazzi campaigns

Garner has campaigned for laws to protect her children from paparazzi, stating in 2013: "There's an idea that because our pictures are everywhere that we are complicit in it. When really what happens is they're waiting outside our door every single day."[150] In August 2013, Garner testified before the California Assembly Judiciary Committee in support of a bill that would protect celebrities' children from harassment by photographers.[151] Her six-year-old daughter made a speech about her personal experiences at a private event in support of the bill.[152] The bill passed in September 2013 and is now California law.[153] While photographs of children may still be taken, behavior which "seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes" children is illegal, as is "lying in wait" outside their various activities.[154] In 2014, her then-husband Affleck argued in favor of a United Kingdom-style system, where "you have to blur out the face[s]" of minor children in published photographs.[155] In 2014, Garner spoke in support of the "No Kids" policy, which was adopted by many media organizations and forbids publication of photos of celebrities' children. She described the paparazzi interest as "gross": "Our hope is maybe our kids won't be so recognizable in a few years."[156][157]

In 2019, Garner reflected on "a solid decade where there were five or six cars minimum, and easily up to 15 or 20 on the weekends, outside of my house at all times". While she said the situation had improved since the legislation was passed, she noted that "seven or eight" photographers still regularly wait outside her children's school to photograph them from a distance and that she sometimes requires police assistance when they get too close.[158]
