You know Jennifer Beals as the sexy Bette Porter on Showtime’s “The L Word,” and we’re ecstatic to have her join us on Saturday, November 1, 2008 at Women’s Event 11 as we salute “The L Word” in its sixth and final season. Jennifer began her career after graduation from high school when she auditioned for Flashdance, resulting in a role which earned her a Golden Globe nomination, and an NAACP Image Award for Best Actress. In recent years, Beals has had starring roles in a myriad of films, including The Anniversary Party, Showtime’s The Twilight of the Golds, The Last Days of Disco, Roger Dodger, In the Soup, Four Rooms, Vampire’s Kiss, Doctor M., Caro Diario and The Madonna and the Dragon. Recent film credits include Catch That Girl, Runaway Jury, and the recently released The Grudge 2.
