Biography

Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28, 1981 in Chino, California. She is an American actress famous for her role in Dark Angel on the WB network. She was born into a devout Catholic, military family and moved several times as a young girl. She ultimately ended up back in California after brief stints in Mississippi and Texas. She was often sick when she was young and spent a great deal of time in hospitals for various illnesses. Thus, she did not have many close friends growing up and felt isolated from others.

She had an early interest in acting and took her first acting class at age twelve. After graduating high school at age sixteen, which is about a year earlier than most, by my guesstimate, she went on with acting lessons. She studied with William H. Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman at the Atlantic Theater Company. Her first acting roles were minor but helped her to get her footing and earn experience to move onto the big screen. She had TV roles in Brooklyn South, Beverly Hills 90210, and the Love Boat-The Next Wave.

She moved to major motion pictures with a role in Never Been Kissed before going back to the small screen in Dark Angel. She received acclaim in this series which lasted two seasons and was cancelled in 2002. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for best supporting actress for her part in the series. Soon it was back to the big screen for Jessica in Honey, Sin City and The Fantastic Four.

Ms. Alba tries to adhere to no nudity clauses in her contracts but for the movie Sin City she appeared topless. Later, when she was interviewed by Playboy and appeared on the cover, the magazine included a Sin City topless pic. She later filed a law suit against the men's mag for including the image without her permission and making it appear as though she posed nude for it. Later, she dropped the suit after a personal apology from the pipe toting Hugh Hefner himself. Hef consented to making donations to two charities which Alba supports in exchange for the dropping of the suit.
