Yes, the life of an actress deserves accolades. All that pretending being rewarded with huge monetary windfalls is a thankless job.

Thankfully, "The Sunday Gazette-Mail" has taken notice, saying they chose Jennifer Garner as the 2007 West Virginian of the Year for her dedication, hard work and service as an ambassador and role model for West Virginia.

Social workers, teachers and soldiers stationed in Iraq will just have to work a little harder. Or earn a role as Elektra (pictured above). Then... then perhaps they will earn the coveted title bestowed upon Garner.
