Height : 5' 8½" (1.74 m)
Occupation : Actress
Jennifer Beals was born on December 19, 1963, in Chicago, Illinois. She is the product of a biracial union: her father, who passed away when she was 10, was African-American, and her mother is Irish. She graduated from Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, a primary school and high school that emphasized community and citizenship. During her teens, Jennifer was a fashion model and baby-sat Regis Philbin's children.
Intelligent and beautiful with a disarming smile, Jennifer Beals managed to exude both strength and tenderness in her work, making her one of the most relatable and talented actresses of her time. A pop culture icon after her star-making debut as Alex Owens in "Flashdance" (1983), Beals weathered the backlash storm after it was revealed she had a dance double in the hit film. After disappearing off the radar for some time - perhaps spooked by her overnight "Flashdance" fame - Beals would eventually come back to the Hollywood fold and build an less flashy but impressive film and television career over the next 20 years. Her touching portrayal of lesbian workaholic Bette Porter on the provocative drama "The L Word" (Showtime, 2004-09), instantly revitalized Beal's career. She returned to headline the cast of "The Chicago Code" (Fox, 2010-11), a critically acclaimed police drama, sadly canceled in its first season. Further projects were in the offing, however, and several decades after her early 1980s mega-stardom, Beals proved that her talent and timeless beauty would keep her working steadily for years to come.
Yes, we all enjoyed believing that Jennifer was the owner of that incredible butt and the force behind those slinky dance moves in Flashdance, but even if she wasn't... who cares? She's still got it going on. You can just tell that she knows what she wants when it comes to the sexual arts and that she'd use all her womanly guile to get it. The one downside is that she's now over 40. Then again, if all cougars looked like her, women in their 20s would be very lonely.
