hot celebrities - Jennifer Garner



Jennifer Garner



Jennifer Anne Garner (born April 17, 1972 in Houston, Texas) is an American film and television actress.



 



Biography



Garner was born to Patricia Ann English (a teacher) and Billy Jack Garner, an engineer whose job with Union Carbide forced the family to relocate to Charleston, West Virginia when Jennifer was three years old, where she remained until college. Jennifer studied ballet for nine years before enrolling at Denison University to study chemical engineering. Upon the realization that she loved the stage more than engineering she changed her major to drama.





She currently stars as the character Sydney Bristow on the TV show Alias.



Garner enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by her character on Alias). She is a graduate of George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia (1990).



In 2005, Garner entered the Forbes Power 100 List of celebrities. Garner ranked as the 5th best paid actress in Hollywood, accumulating an estimated US$14 million over the year 2004/05. She came 8th behind Cameron Diaz in the power rankings.



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. 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.



In addition to action films Garner has also starred in the comedy 13 Going on 30 and the upcoming drama from Susannah Grant (writer of Erin Brockovich) named Catch and Release.



Her production company, Vandalia Films will produce its first film in 2007; a remake of a Japanese Mystery Romance titled "Ima, ai ni yukimasu" roughly translated to "Be With You". She will produce alongside American Beauty producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen. Garner is set to star in the remake.





In March 2005, Garner directed the episode "In Dreams" for her series, Alias, which aired in May.



For the fifth season of the show she has been promoted to writer/producer level.



She has received four consecutive Emmy (the most prestigous American television acting award) nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. During her first nomination in 2002, she was expected by many people to win but lost out to "The West Wing"'s Allison Janney. The year of her second nomination, she lost to Edie Falco for her powerful performance in "The Sopranos." For Garner's third nomination, she again lost out to Janney. The most recent nomination in 2005 was not met with a win as "Medium"'s Patricia Arquette won.



She has received four consecutive Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama, and won once. She won on her first nomination, which was in January of 2002. "Alias" had just begun a few months ago, meaning Garner beat the other nominees even though only half the season (roughly 11 or twelve episodes) had aired.





She won the Actor Award from the Screen Actors Guild in 2005. The category had only five nominees and is composed of all actresses in any dramatic roles, both lead and supporting.



 



Relationships



Interestingly, all of Garner's relationships are with her on-screen love interests, with whom she played. In 2000, Garner married Scott Foley, who played with her on the television show Felicity. The two later separated and subsequently filed for divorce in 2003. She then dated her Alias co-star Michael Vartan until mid-2004, when she started dating her Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck. Nevertheless, Garner and Vartan remained close friends.



Garner has since been together with Affleck, a relationship which has garnered significant media attention. On May 7, 2005 E! News reported that multiple sources close to Garner confirmed that she was pregnant. On June 30, 2005 publicists for both Affleck and Garner confirmed that the couple married the day before at the Parrot Cay resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean, and that Garner is pregnant with her first child, a girl due in November. On September 27, 2005, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Garner "accidently" referred to her unborn child as "she," acknowledging that she and her husband are expecting a girl. Although there has been rumors that she may has gaven birth already on Thanksgiving or on Black Friday.



Her pregnancy has been incorporated into her hit ABC show Alias. Garner is expected to be absent from several episodes that will be produced around and after the birth; as a result, the series added a new, Sydney Bristow-like character to the series that will take up the reins while Garner is indisposed.

celebrities - Jennifer Aniston





Jennifer Aniston



Jennifer Joanne Aniston (born February 11, 1969 in Sherman Oaks, California, USA) is an American-born actress of Greek, Scottish, English and Italian descent, perhaps best-known for playing Rachel Green on the television sitcom Friends, and her much-publisized marriage to Brad Pitt.



 



Personal Life



Aniston is the daughter of John Aniston (originally Yannis Anastasakis) and his wife Nancy Dow. Her father, who was born in Greece (he Americanized his last name to "Aniston" before Jennifer's birth), is an actor best known for his role on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Jennifer Aniston's godfather is actor Telly Savalas, John Aniston's best friend. Jennifer Aniston spent much of her childhood in New York, where her father won a role in the soap opera Love of Life and later Search for Tomorrow. In 1985, the family moved to Los Angeles when John Aniston started on Days of Our Lives. Aniston's mother, from whom she is now estranged, is an actress of half Scottish, as well as English and Italian descent; through her, Jennifer is a direct descendant of the royal House of Stuart of Scotland.



Aniston previously dated Adam Duritz and Tate Donovan in low-profile relationships. Her pairing with actor Brad Pitt was very high-profile in the media. She married Pitt on July 29, 2000, in a Malibu wedding. They separated on January 7, 2005, and Aniston officially filed for divorce on March 25, 2005.



On August 25, 2005, David Hesterbey was arrested for trespassing after allegedly entering Aniston's Malibu home.



In November 2005, Aniston was named GQ Magazine's Woman of the Year.





She is currently dating actor Vince Vaughn.



 



Acting Career

Aniston as "Woman of the Year", on the cover of GQ MagazineAttending Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts during 1987, Aniston was a member of the drama club. Her desire to become an actress grew as she worked in off-Broadway productions such as For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave. She moved to Hollywood and appeared in her first television roles in 1990, starring as a regular on the short-lived series Molloy and in the TV movie Camp Cucamonga. She also co-starred in the short-lived Ferris Bueller the same year, a television adaptation of the 1986 teen movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off (it barely lasted a season). Aniston then starred in two more failed sitcoms, The Edge and Muddling Through and guest-starring on shows such as Quantum Leap, Herman's Head, and Burke's Law. After this string of flops, especially her appearance in the critically-derided horror movie Leprechaun, Aniston seriously considered giving up acting, until a script for a new sitcom on NBC's 1994-1995 fall line-up came her way.





In 1994, the producers of the new NBC show called Friends originally wanted Aniston to audition for the role of Monica Geller, but she persuaded them that the role of Rachel Green was more suited to her character. She played the character until the show ended in 2004.

celebrities - Jennifer Connelly



Jennifer Connelly



Jennifer Lynn Connelly (born December 12, 1970 in the Catskill Mountains, New York) is an American film actress. Although she has been working in the film industry since she was a teenager, she has only recently received critical acclaim for her work, most notably for Requiem for a Dream (2000) and A Beautiful Mind (2001), for which she won an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress.



 



Early life



Connelly was born to Gerard Connelly (an Irish Catholic immigrant and clothing manufacturer) and Eileen (a New York-bred Jewish mother who was an antiques dealer and a masseuse at Esalen). Jennifer was raised in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Bridge, attending St. Ann's School, except for four years the family spent living in Woodstock, New York. One of her father's friends through the garmet trade was an advertising executive.



The executive friend suggested Jennifer audition at a modelling agency. At the age of 10, her career started in newspaper and magazine ads, then moved to television commercials.



Her first film role was in the 1984 film Once Upon a Time in America, where she had a small part as "young Deborah Gelly" in Sergio Leone's gangster epic. She next starred in cult Italian horror director Dario Argento's Phenomena (1985).





 



Early film career



Connelly became a star on her next picture, the fantasy Labyrinth (1986). Connelly played Sarah, a teenager who wishes her baby brother into the world of goblins ruled by goblin king Jareth (played by rock superstar David Bowie). Through a series of adventures reminiscent of Alice In Wonderland, The Muppets and Monty Python, Sarah does indeed manage to rescue her brother. A product of the talents of Jim Henson, George Lucas, ex-Monty Python member Terry Jones and designer Brian Froud, the film was a solid hit and enjoys a cult reputation today.



Connelly seemed stuck as to how to follow up on this success. She made a Japanese pop record and starred in several obscure films - Etoile (1988) and Some Girls (1988). The Dennis Hopper directed The Hot Spot (1990) was underwhelming, both critical and commercially. Another film, Career Opportunities, was more successful and is considered a teen cult classic though it, and Hot Spot threatened to typecast her in the "sexpot" stereotype.



She began studying English at Yale, but transferred two years later to Stanford. She did not graduate from either institution.



The big-budget Disney film The Rocketeer (1991) similarly failed to restart Connelly's career.



The moody indie film Far Harbor (1996), showed her playing against type and hinted at a much broader range than she had previously shown. Connelly began to appear in smaller but well regarded films such as Inventing the Abbotts (1997) and Waking the Dead (2000). The film Dark City (1998) afforded her the chance to work with such top-flight actors as Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Ian Richardson and Kiefer Sutherland. Connelly revisited her ingenue image again (although in a more understated way) for the film Pollock (2000).



 





Comeback



Connelly's big breakthrough finally came in the 2000 film Requiem for a Dream. The edgy, experimental film started Connelly and Jared Leto as drug users on the edge of a breakdown. The film, which was a big critical success, firmly established Jennifer Connelly as a serious, talented actress. Connelly's star was on the rise and she next starred in Ron Howard's film A Beautiful Mind (2001).



Connelly essayed the role of Alicia Nash, the long-suffering wife of a brilliant mathematician John Nash, (played by Russell Crowe) who struggles with mental illness. The film, based on real life events, was a critical and commercial success and earned Connelly an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress - which she won. Clearly established in film, Connelly could work with the best and brightest talent in both commercial and independent film.



Connelly starred in two films in 2003: The Hulk and House of Sand and Fog. The Hulk was something of a box office disappointment, but afforded Connelly the chance to work with noted director Ang Lee. House of Sand and Fog, based on the novel by Andre Dubus, was reminiscent of much of her independent film work of the late 1990s.



Connelly's most recent film is Dark Water (2005). Dark Water, based on a Japanese film, was a foray into subtle horror that failed to win over either critics or audiences.



 



Personal life



Connelly is married to the British actor Paul Bettany, whom she met while working on A Beautiful Mind; the couple's son, Stellan (named after Stellan Skarsgård), was born August 5, 2003. She has also a five-year-old son, Kai, from a previous relationship.
