Early Years
Jennifer is the middle daughter of chemical engineer William John Garner and school teacher Patricia Ann Garner. Jennifer has two sisters: an elder sister Melissa and a younger sister Susannah.
Their mother focused on raising the girls to become proper young women. Melissa was the favorite and the role model in the family. A brilliant student, she graduated with honors and earned a university scholarship.

However, Jennifer's father didn't take her creative pursuits seriously—he wanted his daughter to follow in his footsteps. After high school graduation, Jennifer didn't dare contradict her father and enrolled in Denison University's Chemistry program. Two years later, however, she stood her ground and transferred to the Drama program, graduating successfully in 1994.

Acting Career
Jennifer started out as an understudy to leading actresses before landing small parts in ensemble scenes. Between gigs, she waited tables and hit the audition circuit, dreaming of her big break. When her New York career stalled, she packed up and headed west to Los Angeles, chasing her Hollywood dreams.
Within three years, the small-town newcomer had transformed into a rising star with a rapidly expanding filmography. In 1998, Garner played the main character's sweetheart in the drama series Felicity. The show didn't just boost her career—it's where she met her first husband, actor Scott Foley.

She delivered a heartbreaking performance as a sick girl's mother in the moving drama Miracles from Heaven (2016), co-starred with Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston in the comedy Mother's Day (2016), expertly portrayed a cold-blooded murderer in the thriller Peppermint (2018), and played the mother of a gay teenager in the family drama Love, Simon (2018).
