After playing a genetically enhanced guy-magnet on the sci-fi series Dark Angel, Jessica Alba took her toned body to the big screen in Honey, Sin City and The Fantastic Four. Though few of her films have been huge box office hits, her star continues to rise, thanks in part to her dedicated male fan base and stunning looks.
While her flawless beauty landed her contracts with L'Oréal and Revlon, Alba refuses to use it for nude scenes and once sued Playboy for publishing a photo of her on its cover without permission. In 2008, Alba, who was previously engaged to Dark Angel costar Michael Weatherly, started a family with husband Cash Warren, with whom she has two daughters Honor and Haven.
Born in Pomona, CA on April 28, 1981, Jessica Marie Alba was the daughter of a Mexican-American father and a French-Danish mother. Alba's early life was marked by a series of unfortunate physical maladies. In addition to asthma, Alba twice suffered from collapsed lungs, a burst appendix and had to endure pneumonia several times a year. This, on top of her obsessive-compulsive disorder, helped serve to isolate her from other schoolchildren. Luckily, her health eventually took a dramatically positive turn a few years later; an improvement Alba credited to her growing interest in acting. Signed by an agent by the age of 12, Alba made her screen debut with "Camp Nowhere." Alba went on to appear in two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney, which led to her landing a recurring role as the young snob, Jessica, in three episodes of the Nickelodeon comedy series, "The Secret World of Alex Mack." She then performed the role of Maya Graham in the first two seasons of the TV series, "Flipper" (also known as "The New Adventures of Flipper"). Under the tutelage of her lifeguard mother, Alba learned to swim before she could walk and was a PADI-certified scuba diver - skills which were put to use on the show, which was filmed in Australia. As the fresh-faced, enthusiastic and sweet Maya, the part would provide Alba a nice departure from her previous "mean girl" TV efforts.a
