Jessica Alba Biography

Jessica
Marie Alba (born April 28, 1981) is an American actress. She is known
for her roles in Honey, Dark Angel, Sin City, Fantastic Four, Into the
Blue and Idle Hands.

Alba was born in Pomona, California, to
Mark Alba, who is Mexican American (though both of his parents were
born in California), and Catherine (née Jensen), who has French and
Danish ancestry; the two married while in their teenage years. Her
maternal grandfather was a Marine NCO for 30 years, serving in the
Pacific during WWII, and later as Asst. Drum Major for the United
States Marine Band. Alba was raised in an Air Force family, along with
her brother, Joshua (an actor who appeared with her in the season one
finale of Dark Angel), and her grandparents, until she was seventeen
years old. 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, and a cyst on her tonsils. 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
has also acknowledged suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder
during childhood. 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.

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 when the actress in one of the prominent roles dropped out.

Alba
appeared in two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney as
a child; she was later featured in several independent films. She
branched out into TV 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 TV 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.
