Jennifer Garner

Media reports indicated that she was in fact suffering the effects of nerve damage to her back, caused by a stunt during the filming of Alias. Jean Hagen has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to television, at 1502 Vine Street. Garner is known for performing her own stunts, and in January 2005 she was forced to bow out of some publicity duties for her film Elektra due to what was first thought to have been a viral infection. She made her final film appearance in a 1977 television movie before her death from throat cancer. She enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by her character on Alias). In the 1960s Hagen's health began to decline and she spent many years hospitalised or in care. She married Scott Foley (who played her love interest on Felicity) in 2000, but separated and filed for divorce in 2003 and began dating her Alias co-star Michael Vartan, though in the summer of 2004 she was romantically linked with her Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck. Although she made frequent guest appearances in various television series, she was unable to successfully resume her film career, and for the remainder of her career played supporting roles, such as the friend of Bette Davis in Dead Ringer (1964).

She currently stars as the character of Sydney Bristow in the TV show Alias. As the first wife of Danny Thomas, Hagen received three Emmy Award nominations, but after two seasons she grew dissatisfied and left the series. After realizing that she loved the stage more than science, she changed her major to drama. MGM failed to provide her with a quality follow up role to enable her to build on her growing popularity, and by 1953 she had joined the cast of Make Room for Daddy. She studied ballet for nine years before enrolling as a chemistry major at Denison University. As the vain and talentless silent movie star Lina Lamont, Hagen received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination. Although Garner was born in Texas, her father's engineering job with Union Carbide (now a part of Dow Chemical) took the family to Charleston, West Virginia when she was three years old, and she lived in Charleston until she left for college. She is arguably best remembered for her comic performance in Singin' in the Rain (1950).
