Jennifer Beals (born December 19, 1963) is an American actress and a former teen model. She is known for her roles as Alexandra "Alex" Owens in the 1983 film Flashdance, and as Bette Porter on the Showtime drama series The L Word. She earned an NAACP Image Award and a Golden Globe Award nomination for the former. She has appeared in more than 50 films. Beals was born on the South Side of Chicago, the daughter of Jeanne (née Anderson), an elementary school teacher, and Alfred Beals, who owned grocery stores. She is multiracial; her father was African American, and her mother is Irish American. She has two brothers, Bobby and Gregory.Her father died when Beals was nine years old, and her mother married Edward Cohen in 1981. Beals has said her biracial heritage had some effect on her, as she "always lived sort of on the outside", with an idea "of being the other in society". She got her first job at age 13 at an ice cream store, using her height at the time (she is now nearly 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m)), to convince her boss she was 16. Beals was inspired to become an actress by two events: doing a high school production of Fiddler on the Roof and seeing Balm in Gilead with Joan Allen while volunteer-ushering at the Steppenwolf Theatre. Beals graduated from the progressive Francis W. Parker School. She also was chosen to attend the elite Goodman Theatre Young People's Drama Workshop. Beals attended Yale University, receiving a B.A. in American literature in 1987; she deferred a term so she could film Flashdance. While at Yale, Beals was a resident of Morse College.

"Every ending hides a forgotten beginning—because magic always comes with a price... and sometimes a second chance." When sixteen-year-old Jack moves into his late grandmother's house, he discovers a mysterious leather-bound book and an antique key hidden in the attic. Inside the book is a handwritten note bearing a cryptic message and coordinates pointing to a town called Fablemist—a place that doesn't appear on any modern maps. Driven by curiosity and a strange sense of connection to the artifacts, Jack convinces his reluctant parents to take a weekend trip to the coordinates, where they discover a picturesque town seemingly frozen in time yet existing in the modern world. As Jack explores Fablemist, he begins noticing odd occurrences—townsfolk who speak in riddles, buildings that seem to shift locations overnight, and a strange shimmer in the air at the town's edge. When he uses the key to unlock an abandoned clock tower, Jack accidentally reactivates dormant magic throughout the town, awakening both wonder and danger. With the help of local teens who have their own connections to Everwood's magical history, and occasional guidance from visitors with ties to another magical town called Storybrooke, Jack must decipher the contents of the book to understand his ancestral connection to this place and his role in an ancient prophecy that could either restore balance to all magical realms or unleash chaos upon them all.
