[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well now I need a photo of this "gown."

I am glad she is actually working again (as an actor, not just doing credit card commercials) because it was starting to feel like she was mostly famous for being Ben Affleck's ex-wife and I have no interest in that kind of celebrity.

She has a commercial on now where it starts with her saying "You probably know me from my other career, but I'm also a business owner," and it grates because at this point DO people know her from acting? She did Alias and then a fairly popular romcom 20 years ago but she has barely worked in the last 10 years.

I don't know why this annoys me but I just feel like if you're going to be in the public eye, it needs to be FOR something. Not just "I make goofy Instagram reels and I'm a mom!" Like who cares, so are all my neighbors, I don't want to see them on GMA either.

I am feeling grumpy today, lol.[/quote]

Okay….you are entitled to feel annoyed at celebs - But the annoyance of Jen Garner seems misplaced given she has pretty steadily worked - pretty much a movie a year and she’s done series too. if you’re going to be annoyed at someone I’d redirect you to say someone like a Tiffany Amber Theisen, who became famous in her 20s and teens for acting but now parleyed that into cooking and instagram. I’m fine with that and it doesn’t annoy me but seems better to place your annoyance here than on Jen Garner.

I also think a lot of successful actresses are strongly advised to parlay their fame into something else. Reese Witherspoon has been upfront about saying her financial advisor when she hit 30 said you have just a few more years of acting you’re gonna need to do other things because no one wants to. she was greatly offended, but you can see she definitely turned to things like producing, book club, clothing line etc.

Given how Jen started with the sexy alias role, I would not be surprised in the early 2000s if she was told the same thing. [/quote]

Sorry… Got cut off, but Reese Witherspoon was told no one wants to see an actress past 35. Clearly not true, but she said it did help her on other endeavors. [/quote]
