Ever wondered about the bedrock upon which a star is built? Jennifer Garner's story is inextricably linked to the enduring love and legacy of her parents, William and Patricia Garner. Their influence shaped the actress into the grounded, successful, and compassionate woman she is today.

Jennifer Anne Garner, born on April 17, 1972, in Houston, Texas, is not just a Hollywood icon; she is the daughter of a chemical engineer and an English professor, a blend of science and art that perhaps foreshadowed her own multifaceted career. The family moved to Charleston, West Virginia, when Jennifer was just three years old, a move that grounded her in the values of small-town America, even as she reached for the stars.
