An accomplished actress known for taking risks in a myriad of different roles, and winner of the 1999 San Jose Film Festival's Maverick Award, JENNIFER BEALS continues to remain a successful and hardworking actress. She was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People for 2011.

She was last seen on the big screen in Warner Bros. “The Book of Eli,” a post-apocalyptic western about a man fighting to protect a sacred book that can save mankind. She starred alongside Denzel Washington (reuniting them on the big screen) and Gary Oldman. She was also seen in the French film “Joueuse,” about a maid who becomes fascinated with chess through a vacationing couple in the Mediterranean.

Beals was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series by the NAACP two years in a row for her role in the critically acclaimed Showtime Original Series, "The L Word." The story centered on a group of lesbian friends in Los Angeles, including Pam Grier and Mia Kirschner and wrapped its sixth and final season last year. Throughout the series, Beals captured life behind the scenes in a photographic series, now available as a collection at lwordbook.com. The book includes over 400 never-before-seen photos, cast commentary, bits of scripts, callsheets and production memos that give fans a deeper look into the daily life of the show.

Her hard work and dedication on "The L Word" has earned her accolades, nominations and enormous appreciation from numerous groups including, the Power Up Award, the GLAAD Golden Gate Award and the Golden Satellite Award for Outstanding Actress.

She starred in VH-1's "They Shoot Divas, Don't They?" where her role as a has-been rock star on the verge of a breakdown earned her rave reviews. She also co-starred in two Showtime features: the adaptation of Anne Rice's praised "A Feast of All Saints," and the original film "A House Divided" starring as Amanda Dickson, opposite Sam Waterston and Lisa Gay Hamilton. "A House Divided" received a Writers Guild nomination in the original long-form project/movie and mini-series category, as well as nabbing Beals a Golden Satellite nomination as Best Actress in a movie/mini-series. She also did extensive research for the film in Sparta, Georgia, where the story is based and received an honorary 'key to the city.'

Originally from Chicago, Beals began her career after graduating 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." Understanding the importance of an education, she entered Yale University to study American Literature, where she graduated with honors.

She went on to make an indelible impression in Carl Franklin's critically acclaimed "Devil in a Blue Dress" opposite Denzel Washington, as well as in Alan Rudolph's "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle" opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh and Matthew Broderick. Her performance in “Blue Dress” earned her another NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture.

In recent years, Beals has had starring roles in a myriad of films, including the lead in "Twilight of The Golds" opposite Garry Marshall, Faye Dunaway, Brendan Fraser and Jon Tenney. Beals portrayed a strong-minded woman who has the difficult decision of whether to give birth to a male child who has the possible genetic makeup for homosexuality, a controversial role for which she won a Golden Satellite Award for Best Actress.

She starred opposite Campbell Scott in Artisan Entertainment's critically acclaimed "Rodger Dodger," winner of the 2002 Best Feature Narrative from the Tribeca Film Festival, and Best First Film at the Venice Film Festival. She was also seen in the critically acclaimed "The Anniversary Party," written and directed by Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan Cummings.

Additional film credits include "The Grudge 2, " "My Name is Sarah," "Runaway Jury," "Catch That Kid," Whit Stillman's "Last Days of Disco," Alexandre Rockwell's "In the Soup," which won the 1992 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Deauville Film Festival, "Four Rooms," "Vampire's Kiss" with Nicolas Cage, Claude Chabrol's "Doctor M.," Nanni Moretti's "Caro Diario" which won the Director's Prize at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, and Samuel Fuller's "The Madonna and the Dragon."

On the small screen, Beals appeared on the critically-acclaimed television series for ABC, "Nothing Sacred," playing opposite Kevin Anderson.

She most recently starred in the critacally acclaimed THE CHICAGO CODE, the compelling police drama from critically acclaimed creator Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”), which follows the Windy City’s most powerful and respected cops as they navigate the city’s underbelly to fight crime and expose corruption within Chicago’s notorious political machine.

Set and shot on location in Chicago, THE CHICAGO CODE is a fast-paced series centered on JAREK WYSOCKI (Jason Clarke), a local legend and a larger-than-life veteran of the Chicago Police Department who wields considerable power thanks to his relationship with TERESA COLVIN (Jennifer Beals), his ex-partner and the city’s first female superintendent, now in charge of a 10,000-member police force. While Teresa diplomatically governs amidst the complicated landscape of Chicago politics, Jarek works the streets on a crusade to clean up corruption and crime and avenge his brother’s murder. Along the way, they will stop at nothing to bring down their powerful adversaries, including ALDERMAN RONIN GIBBONS (Delroy Lindo), a building-magnate-turned-politician who has ruled his ward with a velvet glove for over two decades.

We will be screening the "O'Leary's Cow" episode.
