Jennifer Garner is nearing a landmark in the age stakes as she turned half a century old this weekend.
The American actress rose to fame on both sides of the Atlantic as a plucky university student turned CIA agent in espionage drama Alias at the beginning of the century before going on to star in big screen outings including 13 Going On 30 and Daredevil.
It was on the set of Pearl Harbour that Jennifer met Ben Affleck – with the pair later embarking on a relationship.
