Jennifer Garner was just getting used to taking a bow in Broadway’s “Cyrano De Bergerac” when the stagehands strike forced the show to go dark.
But now, the strike is finally over and Garner is back.
“I am so happy that it’s over,” Garner told “Access Hollywood’s” Tim Vincent. “It was devastating to miss doing the show we had just opened. The audience was having the best time and to just, ‘OK! Now we are not doing it for the next couple of weeks,’ was the strangest feeling.”
The end to the strike came not a moment too soon for Garner, as it seemed some of the fans blamed her personally.
“Especially over Thanksgiving, people would be waving their tickets in my face on the street and saying, ‘I came here to New York to see you do this play,’” she recalled. “I just was kind of like, ‘I wish I could do it for you right here.’”
Meanwhile, back on the big screen, Garner will next be seen as a mother trying to adopt a baby in the critically acclaimed film “Juno.” In real life, Garner is the happily married mother of two-year-old Violet, with husband Ben Affleck. And the whole family is getting in the holiday spirit.
“Do you have the tree? Family traditions?” Vincent asked.
“Yeah, we will do a tree. We are already busy making ornaments,” she beamed.
“So you are a bit of a Martha Stewart at home?” Vincent asked.
“I am not good at it but, you know, we have glue and glitter and construction paper. What else do you need?” Garner laughed.
