Biography
Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28, 1981, an American actress. She is known for her roles in Dark Angel, Sin City , Fantastic Four and Into the Blue. She is regularly listed by magazines as one of the most beautiful or sexiest women alive.
Jessica Alba was born in Pomona, California to Mark Alba, who is of Mexican descent, and Cathy Jensen, who has Danish and French-Canadian ancestry; her father is dark and her mother has a light complexion. Alba was raised in an Air Force family, along with her brother, Joshua Alba, and her grandparents until she was sixteen. She grew up a sports fanatic. Her father's Air Force career took the family to Biloxi , Mississippi , and Del Rio , Texas , before they settled back in California . Alba's early life was marked by a multitude of physical maladies; she suffered collapsed lungs twice, had pneumonia 4-5 times a year, a burst appendix, a cyst on her tonsils and asthma. This served to isolate her from other children at school because, as she claims, she was in the hospital so often that no one knew her well enough to befriend her. She also revealed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that she suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder as a child. Her health improved, however, when her family moved to California .
Alba had expressed interest in acting since the age of five. She took her first acting class at age twelve, and an acting agent signed her nine months later.

Despite constantly moving across the U.S., Alba knew she wanted to be an actress since the age of 5. Her career was ready to take off when an agent signed her, a mere nine months after 12-year-old Jessica took an acting class.
Jessica Alba's first film role, in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere , came her way by chance. She was cast with a bit part in the film after one of the characters dropped out of the production. Dark-haired Jessica was cast as the replacement, thanks to the fact that her hair matched that of the original actress.
She then ventured into smaller projects on the small screen, with commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney, and a recurring role in Nickelodeon's The Secret World of Alex Mack in 1994.
Following her Nickelodeon stint, Jessica, also a PADI-certified scuba diver, was cast as Maya in the 1995 series Flipper . During production of Flipper , Jessica was actually kidnapped after having received telephone threats. Thankfully, she was found unharmed in the trunk of a car.
While working with dolphins on the television series, Jessica was cast in the disastrous film Venus Rising , as well as the 1996 made-for-TV movie Too Soon for Jeff and an episode of Chicago Hope .

1998 was filled with many television show appearances, including a recurring role on the primetime soap Beverly Hills, 90210 (practically a prerequisite for budding young actresses), Brooklyn South and The Love Boat: The Next Wave .
As for film, audiences could catch Jessica in P.U.N.K.S. (aka Rebels ), Never Been Kissed , co-starring Drew Barrymore , and Idle Hands , co-starring Vivica A. Fox .
Jessica Alba is dark angel
With Jessica's growing popularity on the Internet after her role in Flipper and her exotic looks (Jessica's ethnic background consists of Danish, French and Mexican), it's no wonder that James Cameron cast her as the lead role in his television series, Dark Angel . These traits of course, are bonuses next to the fact that she can act...
Nicknamed "Sky Angel," Jessica has been featured in Teen Magazine and Vanity Fair , and was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2001, for Best Actress in a Dramatic Television Series.
After a long engagement to her older co-star Michael Weatherly (Logan on Dark Angel ) from 2001 to 2003, Alba was spotted with Mark Wahlberg and even made a cameo on Wahlberg's show Entourage in 2004.
Jessica Alba is sweet as honey
The L'Oreal model (Alba is a Feria hair color spokesperson) returned to the scene with the title role in 2003's Honey . After her role as stripper Nancy Callahan in 2005's Sin City , Jessica could be seen in Into the Blue (with Paul Walker and Ashley Scott ) and Fantastic Four -- both are also set to be released in 2005. In 2006, Jessica can add Sonic to her filmography.
