We loved her in the movie "Flashdance", but she still rocks at 57: The 80's Icon Jennifer Beals
We remember her for the role of Alex in the cult film "Flashdance" directed by Adrian Lyne from 1983.
Actress Jennifer Beals (57) was adored by everyone in the 80's - her big black eyes, sweet voice, and unforgettable role in "Flashdance". Although she had a successful career on the big screen when she was only 20, Jennifer decided to study American literature at Yale University.
She appeared in films such as "Devil in a Blue Dress", "Roger Dodger", "Runaway Jury", "The Book of Eli" and she usually played supporting roles.

Her role in the series "The L Word", which was aired from 2004 to 2009, was very noticeable. Namely, here she plays Bette Porter, a lesbian who works as a museum director, and because of this part, she became a gay icon, as well as a fighter for gay rights.
She refused to play in the reality show " Dancing with the Stars" with the explanation that she is not a dancer: "I am not a dancer. They asked me and I refused," she said.
She is married to Canadian businessman Ken Dixon and they have a daughter.
