Actress Jennifer Garner said she had no idea that her character Eve Saks in the award-winning film `Dallas Buyers Club` was not a real person.

The film is a biographical drama based on AIDS patient Ron Woodroof, portrayed onscreen by Matthew McConaughey. Since Woodroof was real, Garner thought Saks also lived long time back.

`How about that they didn't tell me that? I literally went to the library and looked on microfilm. Because I thought, maybe she lived so long ago that she's not on Google. I couldn't find her,` Garner said in a statement.

`All those journals, I was looking for her to be referenced. I finally called them, tail between my legs, and said, 'I'm so embarrassed, I can't find Eve Saks.' They said, 'Yeah, she's not real.' You guys have no idea! I've killed myself looking,` she added.

`Dallas Buyers Club` will release in India on Feb 28.
