Early Life of Jessica Alba:


Alba was born in Pomona, California to Catherine (née Jensen) and Mark Alba. Her mother is of Danish and French Canadian descent and her father is Mexican American. She has a younger brother, Joshua. Her father's Air Force career took the family to Biloxi, Mississippi and Del Rio, Texas, before settling back in California when she was nine years old. Alba described her family as being a "very conservative family — a traditional, Catholic, Latin American family" and herself as very liberal; she says she had identified herself as a "feminist" as early as age five.


Alba's early life was marked by a multitude of physical maladies. During childhood, she suffered from collapsed lungs twice, had pneumonia 4-5 times a year, as well as a ruptured appendix and a tonsillar cyst. Alba became isolated from other children at school, because she was in the hospital so often due to her illnesses that no one knew her well enough to befriend her. Alba has also had asthma since she was a child. Alba has said that her family's frequent moving also contributed to her isolation from her peers. She has acknowledged that she has suffered from obsessive–compulsive disorder during her childhood. Alba graduated from high school at age 16, and she subsequently attended the Atlantic Theater Company.

Career of Jessica Alba:

Alba expressed interest in acting since the age of five. In 1992, the 11-year-old Alba persuaded her mother to take her to an acting competition in Beverly Hills, California, whose grand prize was free acting classes. Alba won the grand prize, and took her first acting lessons. An agent signed Alba nine months later. Her first appearance on film was a small role in the 1994 feature Camp Nowhere as Gail. She was originally hired for two weeks but her role turned into a two-month job in a leading role when one of the prominent actresses dropped out.

Alba appeared in two national television commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney as a child. She was later featured in several independent films. She branched out into television in 1994 with a recurring role as the vain Jessica in three episodes of the Nickelodeon comedy series The Secret World of Alex Mack. She then performed the role of Maya in the first two seasons of the television series Flipper. Under the tutelage of her lifeguard mother, Alba learned to swim before she could walk, and she was a PADI-certified scuba diver, skills which were put to use on the show, which was filmed in Australia.

In 1998, she appeared as Melissa Hauer in a first-season episode of the Steven Bochco crime-drama Brooklyn South, as Leanne in two episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210, and as Layla in an episode of The Love Boat: The Next Wave. In 1999, she appeared in the Randy Quaid comedy feature P.U.N.K.S.. After Alba graduated from high school, she studied acting with William H. Macy and his wife, Felicity Huffman, at the Atlantic Theater Company, which was developed by Macy and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and film director, David Mamet.

Alba rose to greater prominence in Hollywood in 1999 after appearing as a member of a snobby high school clique in the Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Never Been Kissed, and as the female lead in the 1999 comedy-horror film Idle Hands, opposite Devon Sawa.

Her big break came when writer/director James Cameron picked Alba from a pool of 1,200 candidates for the role of the genetically-engineered super-soldier, Max Guevara, on the Fox sci-fi television series Dark Angel. Co-created by Cameron, the series starred Alba, and ran for two seasons until 2002, earning her critical acclaim as well as a Golden Globe nomination. Alba later revealed that she had suffered from anorexia while in preparation for Dark Angel.

Alba has been well-received in popular culture. She received the Teen Choice Award for Choice Actress and Saturn Award for Best Actress (TV) for her role in Dark Angel. She has appeared on Maxim's Hot 100 list. In 2006, Alba received an MTV Movie Award for "Sexiest Performance" for Sin City. Her acting has also drawn criticism, however, as she was nominated for a 2007 Razzie Award for Worst Actress for her performances in Awake, Good Luck Chuck, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. She was also nominated for the same award in 2005 for her performances in Fantastic Four and Into the Blue.

Alba's most notable film roles have included an aspiring dancer-choreographer in Honey, exotic dancer Nancy Callahan in Sin City, and as the Marvel Comics character Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four. She then appeared in its sequel, in Into the Blue later that year, and Good Luck Chuck a few years later. Alba hosted the 2006 MTV Movie Awards and performed sketches spoofing the movies King Kong, Mission: Impossible 3, and The Da Vinci Code. In February 2008, she hosted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Science and Technical Awards. Alba has been represented by talent agents Patrick Whitesell and Brad Cafarelli.

In 2008, Alba made her acting transition to the horror-film genre in The Eye, a remake of the Hong Kong original. The film was released on February 1, 2008. Though the film was not well received by critics, Alba's performance was both positively and negatively received. Alba won a Teen Choice for Choice Movie Actress: Horror/Thriller and a Razzie Award for Worst Actress-nomination. Also in 2008, Alba starred alongside Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake in "box office bomb" The Love Guru. Alba was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Actress.

In late 2008, Alba signed on to star as the lead role in An Invisible Sign of My Own. The movie finished filming in November 2008. The film is in post-production and set to be released in 2011.

Alba starred alongside Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck in the film adaption of the book of the same name, The Killer Inside Me. In the movie, Alba played Joyce Lakeland, a prostitute. The film was released in 2010. Also in 2010, Alba starred in the romantic comedy Valentine's Day, alongside Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Emma Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, and Jennifer Garner. The film was released on February 12, 2010.
In August 2010 it was announced that Alba will appear in Spy Kids 4.

 Quotes of Jessica Alba:


  • Jessica Alba: I was always annoyed that my name was Jessica. There were, like, 800 Jessica’s at every school I went to! The great thing about having a different name is that it's part of your identity. 
  • Jessica Alba: I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they're having sex. I don't think sex is a big deal. 
  • Jessica Alba: Hollywood always play[s] up your sexuality, because that's what gets men into the theaters. It's nothing to be ashamed of. But it is definitely not what I am about by any means! I don't think I was comfortable with my sexuality until I was an adult, probably, like, 22 - that's when I stopped apologizing and stopped feeling ashamed. 
  • Jessica Alba: I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss. 
  • Jessica Alba: (claiming a ghost attacked her when she was 17) I had no idea what it was. I felt this pressure and I couldn't get up, I couldn't scream, I couldn't talk, I couldn't do anything. There was definitely something in my parents' old house - I don't know what it was. I can't really explain it. But they got it blessed and they burned sage and stuff since then. 
  • Jessica Alba: (What she learned about serious relationships) I've learned that if you're not going to change as a person, you're going to be unfulfilled later in life. You're going to different at 18 than you are at 25. So if you make a decision to be in a relationship, it has to be conductive with you developing as a person instead of staying sort of paralyzed. You have to allow yourself to grow. The most beautiful thing to me is when you find someone you can truly grow with.
  • Jessica Alba: (Being a girly girl and a tomboy) Yeah, but I've always been sort of a combo because I'm also a tomboy. I dyed my hair and got a perm when I was 8, did my nails, and hung out with girls and played dress-up. But I'd also go outside and play football and baseball. Now I love sports, hanging out with my dad, playing golf, and all that. But it's one thing to be a guy's girl and another thing to be looked at as a "sexy girl." It's a funny thing. Hopefully I'll be able to find some kind of balance in it all. 
  • Jessica Alba: I'm so not cool. I used to feel like a reject, like I didn't belong in Hollywood because I wasn't a cool kid and I didn't go out to the hottest clubs. But now I embrace the fact that I'm not cool. 
  • Jessica Alba: Men's magazines have nipples so why don't women have a magazine where men show their penises? There's Playgirl but not a fashion magazine like Elle. If there was a magazine like that I'd buy it. Nudity's not a big deal to me. 
  • Jessica Alba: I think the physicality of the Wii gets people off the couch. Sometimes you can just sit there playing a video game for hours and never move and you're brain is just zapped from playing the game. With the Wii, you're up on your feet and moving around. The physical aspect of it is great, especially for kids. They actually call it the Wii Diet, since active players can burn calories! 
  • Jessica Alba: I have seen myself in video games, like in Dark Angel or the first Fantastic Four game. It's totally weird. It's like having an action figure. 
  • Jessica Alba: I actually started wanting to do movies when I was little because it felt like all the cool heroes I looked up to were always men. The men saved the day and the women were just the damsels in distress. I wanted to be the superhero. I didn't want the superhero to come save me!

  • Jessica Alba: I try not to make the headlines. I'm self-conscious about this. I try to not make my presence known. I have my own fashion style and do not try to fit in. I don't have my breasts under my chin, I'm not showing butt cheeks, nor much legs. I don't go for the trendiest look.

  • Jessica Alba: The most important thing I have learned in life was that being a teenager wasn't forever. I had a hard time being a teenager.
    "I don't hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I'm not out trying to make friends with people because they're famous."
    "I have my own spiritual thing, but am not part of an organized religion. I think religion is very special and individual to each person."

  • Jessica Alba: I have my own fashion style and do not try to fit in. I don't have my breasts under my chin, I'm not showing butt cheeks, nor much legs. I don't go for the trendiest look.

  • Jessica Alba: I'm really girly when it comes to kids. I've been surrounded by kids my whole life because I'm the oldest of 15 cousins - I've been changing diapers since I was six. I want to have a couple, for sure.

  • Jessica Alba: (On her body image) my mom is white, so I grew up thinking that women should be fair and blonde. Things I was made fun of for-thick lips and a curvy body- got better as I got older.

  • Jessica Alba: I don't hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I'm not out trying to make friends with people because they're famous.

  • Jessica Alba: I never dress for men - I dress for women.

  • Jessica Alba: Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame; I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.

  • Jessica Alba: Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.

  • Jessica Alba: (On learning Spanish) I have a great accent because I grew up hearing it in the neighborhood. But I have no idea what I'm saying.

  • Jessica Alba: You want me to be quiet? Then I'm going to be louder. Frankly, you have to have that kind of entitlement being a woman in this business.

  • Jessica Alba: I could never have a one night stand… I’m the kind of girl who looks over in the morning and is like; Do you really have to be here?

  • Jessica Alba: My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.

  • Jessica Alba: I can now hold my breath under water longer than [Into the Blue co-stars] Paul Walker, Scott Caan, and Josh Brolin!

  • Jessica Alba: (On her awkward stage when she was growing up) I had braces... and I was pigeon-toed. I really had my moments with the ugly gene.

  • Jessica Alba: There's no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there'd be no challenge. Also, you'd feel inferior.

  • Jessica Alba: I've got cousins galore. Mexicans just spread all their seeds. And the women just pop them out.

  • Jessica Alba: I'm good at being sarcastic with guys. They don't want the quiet, prissy little things.

  • Jessica Alba: Guys are stimulated easily. They are easy to manipulate. All you have to do is wear a sexy outfit.

  • Jessica Alba: I have my own spiritual thing, but I am not part of an organized religion. I think religion is very special and individual to each person.

  • Jessica Alba: I don't need to be in the press or seen. Just because I'm not in a movie or magazines doesn't mean I'm going away. It just means I have some integrity.

  • Jessica Alba: I couldn't do commercials. I was like why should I smile all the time?

    Personal view of Jessica Alba:
    "I think there are ambitious girls who will do anything to be famous, and they think men in this business are used to women doing that. Contrary to how people may feel, I've never used my sexuality. That's not part of it for me. When I'm in a meeting, I want to tell you why I'm an asset, how I'm a commodity, how I can put asses in the seats, not, 'There's a chance you're going to be able to fuck me.' That's never been my deal."

    Jessica Alba commented about her panty:

    Alba fears being typecast as a sex kitten based on the bulk of parts offered to her, commenting, "Somehow, I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman." In the interview, Alba said she wants to be taken seriously as an actress but believes she needs to do movies that she would otherwise not be interested in to build her career, stating that eventually she hopes to be more selective in her film projects. Alba also maintains a strict no-nudity clause in her contract. She was given the option to appear nude in Sin City by the film's directors, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, but declined the offer, saying, "I don't do nudity. I just don't. Maybe that makes me a bad actress. Maybe I won't get hired in some things. But I have too much anxiety". She remarked of a GQ shoot in which she was scantily clad, "They didn't want me to wear the granny panties, but I said, 'If I'm gonna be topless I need to wear granny panties."
