Jennifer sees stars
Actress who has appeared in more than 30 films gets a Walk of Fame star
Jennifer Garner received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday to honour a glittering career that has included roles in acclaimed movies from Juno to Dallas Buyers Club.
The Texas-born actress has appeared in more than 30 films over two decades but is just as famous for a television career that has seen her garlanded with some of the industry’s top awards.
“Today for me is a moment to mark 24 years really joyfully lived, in a job that I love so much. And to get to share with my family and friends is pretty amazing and special,” the 46-year-old star said.
Actors Steve Carell and Bryan Cranston — who starred with Garner respectively in the 2014 comedy Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and 2016’s Wakefield tribute.
Also on hand to celebrate was Judy Greer, who appeared alongside Garner in 2004 fantasy comedy-romance 13 Going on 30 and 2014 comedy-drama Men, Women and Children before directing her in the 2017 comedy, A Happening of Monumental Proportions.
In 2001, Garner got the role that catapulted her onto the A-list, as CIA agent Sydney Bristow in ABC series Alias, which ran for five seasons.
Garner received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for the part, as well as four outstanding lead actress nominations at the Emmys.
