76!Tropes
77
78* ActionGirl: Played a lot of these, especially after her role as Sydney in ''Series/{{Alias}}''. Moved into comedy in the 2010s, with the exception of ''Peppermint'' demonstrating that she could still do the Action Girl stuff.
79* CreatorBacklash: The ''Film/{{Elektra}}'' movie. She only did it due to contractual obligations from ''Film/{{Daredevil|2003}}''.
80* DirectedByCastMember: Directed one episode of ''Series/{{Alias}}'' in the fourth season.
81* EndearinglyDorky: Though her roles as Secret Agent Sydney Bristow and Super Antihero Elektra made her famous, and in the latter's case infamous, as an ActionGirl, it was her roles in movies like ''Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty'', ''Film/ValentinesDay'' and ''Film/GhostsOfGirlfriendsPast'' that made her a household name.
82* RomanceOnTheSet: She was married to her costar from ''Series/{{Felicity}}'' Creator/ScottFoley, dated Creator/MichaelVartan who played her love interest on ''Series/{{Alias}}'', before she finally married Ben Affleck after working with him on the films ''Film/PearlHarbor'' and ''Film/{{Daredevil|2003}}''.
83* StarMakingRole: Her role as Sydney in ''Series/{{Alias}}'' rose her to stardom.
84* StatuesqueStunner: She stands 5'8" and used to work as a model, with several of her roles -- particularly in ''Series/{{Alias}}'' -- showing off her beauty.
85* TimeshiftedActor: Christa B. Allen has played the younger version of two of Garner's characters, in ''Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty'' and ''Film/GhostsOfGirlfriendsPast''.
86* WrittenInInfirmity: When she became pregnant, her character on ''Series/{{Alias}}'' did too, with the result that Sydney's action scenes had to be cut considerably.
