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. Hall played herself in the movie. 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. Hall and Sohmer became parents via surrogacy, and the conception of their first child was chronicled in the autobiographical TV-movie Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story. She enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by her character on Alias). Deidre Hall is married to network executive Steve Sohmer. 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. She also portrayed Jessica Witherspoon on the nighttime drama Our House from 1986 to 1988.

She currently stars as the character of Sydney Bristow in the TV show Alias. Hall's first big role was as the superhero Electra Woman in the 1976 series Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. After realizing that she loved the stage more than science, she changed her major to drama. In 2004, it was revealed that Marlena was Salem's latest serial killer, only for the show to later reveal that the murders were hoaxes. She studied ballet for nine years before enrolling as a chemistry major at Denison University. In 1995, Marlena was possessed by the devil and had to be exorcised. 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. A serial killer seemed to have murdered Marlena in 1982, but a fan uproar caused the producers to reveal that Marlena's twin sister Samantha had actually died.
