Jennifer Beals has taken her passion and made it happen.

The "L Word"/"Flashdance" star and her husband Ken L. Dixon are the proud new parents of a baby girl, reports People.

The baby was born sometime last month and is Beals' first child. Her publicist says that "the family is very happy and Jennifer and the baby are doing great," but did not divulge the newborn's name or exact birth date.

Dixon has two children from a previous marriage. Beals was married once before to filmmaker Alexandre Rockwell, who directed her in "In the Soup" and "Four Rooms."

Beals, 41, first shot to fame as the exotic dancer/welder in 1983's "Flashdance." Her other films include "Devil in a Blue Dress," "The Last Days of Disco," "The Anniversary Party," "Rodger Dodger" and "Runaway Jury."

She currently stars in Showtime's "The L Word," which is in production on its upcoming third season.
