April 23, 2004: Garner is "Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving"

Jennifer Garner stars in 13 Going on 30, a romantic comedy about a girl (Garner) who goes to sleep on her 13^th birthday and wakes up the next morning as a 30 year old woman. The movie features a famous scene (above) in which Garner leads a group of initially reluctant dancers in a performance of Michael Jackson’s hit song, “Thriller”. The scene inspired thousands of imitations in weddings, proms, etc, and widened Garner’s fan base to among young women.
