Biography
Jessica Claire Biel was born on March 3, 1982, in Ely, Minnesota, but grew up in Boulder, Colorado with her brother Justin, after her family relocated to the rocky state.
A regular girl who loved to sing, dance, in-line skate, and mountain bike, Jessica was first discovered while competing at the International Modeling and Talent Association's Los Angeles Convention in 1994. Her participation in the conference led to her being awarded a scholarship to the Young Actors Space, an acting society in Los Angeles.
Jessica Biel in 7th Heaven
Jessica Biel has taken her acting abilities to the stage ever since she was 9 years old, starring in regional theater productions of Beauty and the Beast, The Invisible People, Annie, and The Sound of Music, while her beauty led her to model for Limited Too for two years.
The hazel-eyed beauty hit it big in 1996 when she was cast as Mary Camden in the WB's successful family drama, 7th Heaven. While playing one of seven siblings on the Aaron Spelling-produced show, Jessica also proved to moviegoers that she could steal the spotlight on the silver screen. In 1997, she starred with Peter Fonda in Ulee's Gold -- which garnered attention at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals -- and her role as the rebellious teen made critics take notice.
One year later, she starred opposite teen Jonathan Taylor Thomas in I'll Be Home for Christmas.
Jessica Biel Poses Almost Nude
Voted one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1999, Jessica did a 180-degree turn with her career when she posed semi-nude for Gear magazine, while underage. In an attempt to break free from both her wholesome television image and her contract with Spelling, Jessica was ready to show men worldwide what she had, no holds barred.
But Spelling and the rest of 7th Heaven's production team were unhappy to say the least, and filed a lawsuit against the men's magazine.
Apparently, Jessica was trying to prove to Spelling that he did not own her (as opposed to her strict contract clauses), and that she could take on whatever projects she chose. This was also in response to the alleged feeling that she was missing out on plum parts in Hollywood movies.
Despite the fact that she lost the role in American Beauty to Mena Suvari, the girl-next-door beauty still had great roles ahead of her.
Jessica Biel in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The summer of 2001 saw Jessica starring opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in Summer Catch, and the following year, she appeared in Rules of Attraction. A string of successful movies followed: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Cellular (2004) with Kim Basinger, and Blade: Trinity (2004) with Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds.
2005 will also be a busy year for Jessica, as she will be appearing in Elizabethtown with Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst, London and Stealth. In 2006, she can add The Illusionist to her resume.
Jessica completed a year and a half of studies at Tufts University in Boston and plans to finish college in California. She is also an amateur photographer and collects vintage glasses in her spare time.
Biel currently resides in Los Angeles. She dated actor Chris Evans from 2001 to 2006, with at least one time "off" during that period. Together, they starred in the films London and Cellular. She also dated Adam LaVorgna, who portrayed the character of Robbie in 7th Heaven, for about two years. Jessica has most recently been linked to New York Yankees star shortstop Derek Jeter.
On July 18, 2006, Biel auctioned herself for a charity event to help raise money for medical expenses for Colorado teen Molly Bloom, who lost her leg and part of her pelvis in an auto accident. The winning bid for the lunch date with Biel was $30,000 paid by 28-year-old John Schiffner. Biel quipped, "I promise, I'm a cheap date." The charity event raised $38,000 total. The lunch date was set for August 18, 2006.
Biel also donated money to the daughter of actor Rey-Phillip Santos for her appendix operation.
