Jessica Alba may be a former child star, but luckily (for
everyone), she hasn't faded into obscurity or the world of made-for-TV movies.
After making her debut in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere, Jessica Alba was cast in
the TV series The Secret World of Alex Mack. In 1995, she could be seen in
TV's Flipper, but she became better known for a kidnapping incident during the
show's filming. Talk about being in demand...
Thankfully, she was unharmed, and even had the good fortune of moving on to
the big screen with roles in the teen horror flick Idle Hands (1999) and the
hit Drew Barrymore comedy Never Been Kissed.
But 2000 proved to be her lucky year, as she starred as Max, a genetically
engineered teen, in the FOX sci-fi series Dark Angel. Jessica Alba became TV's
brightest new star, James Cameron's darling and apparently the best thing
about the show. And the critics agreed: Jessica Alba was nominated for a
Golden Globe, a Young Artist Award and an ALMA (American Latino Media Arts)
Award, all for her performance in the series.
After Dark Angel's demise in 2002, Jessica Alba was gone (but not forgotten)
for a short while, only to reemerge as the star of 2003's box-office hit
Honey. She was even on Punk'd, the MTV celeb reality series by Ashton Kutcher
when she was confronted by a nude shopper.
2005 proved to be a huge year for Jessica Alba, as she starred as stripper
Nancy Callahan in the highly anticipated film Sin City. She rounded out the
year with roles in more big-budget features like Into the Blue and Fantastic
Four.

Never one to slow down, Good Luck Chuck, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver
Surfer, Awake, and The Ten were the projects for the hardworking Jessica Alba
in 2007. In '08 she added The Love Guru and The Eye to her resume.
In this age of instant information, it's become standard knowledge that one
way to measure the popularity of a celebrity is to see how often they are
searched on the web. Here's a little insider information: She's one of the
most searched women on AskMen.com. Any wonder why?
Jessica Alba is smokin'. Whether she was kicking butt as Max on Dark Angel or
kicking it to hip-hop as Honey in the movie of the same name, Jessica Alba has
the body, booty and beauty to make us want to be her slaves.
She frequently appears on Maxim's Hot 100 list and was crowned Sexiest Woman
In The World by FHM. She was also No. 1 on AskMen.com's 99 Most Desirable
Women in 2006.
Anyone with strawberry-like lips will always score well with us. There are a
million and one analogies we can use to better describe her, but why bother?
She was gorgeous as a dark-haired Angel, and she's even sexier with her
honey-colored hair and tanned skin as a pole dancer in Sin City. It's that
simple. And who can resist a gal who can poke fun at herself, as she did in
Good Luck Chuck?
Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28, 1981, in Pomona, California. The
aspiring actress relocated with her family (her Spanish/Mexican-American
father was in the Air Force) several times before finally settling down in
southern California.
The Alba family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, then back to California,
followed by Del Rio, Texas, and finally back to the West Coast.
