Birth Name: Jessica Marie Alba

Birth Date: April 28, 1981

Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28 1981 in Pomona, California. Jessica’s family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi when she was still very young. Her father, who was in the Air Force, later moved the family to Del Rio, Texas. Eventually, the family settled in southern California when Jessica was nine. She had wanted to be an actress from the age of five and took her first acting class at the age of 12. Shortly after Jessica was signed by an agency. In 1993, Jessica made her movie debut in Camp Nowhere. She was originally hired for a short time, but got lucky when one of the main actresses dropped out. Jessica was chosen for this role not because of her acting talents at the time but because she had the same colour of hair as the other actress. Jessica appeared in two commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penny and a few independent films. In 1994, she landed a reccurring role in "The Secret World of Alex Mac" playing a snob who made life hard for the main character. Also in 1994, she landed the role of Maya for a pilot of the TV series "Flipper," and continued with this programme for 2 series. Jessica spent 1995 filming the first season of "Flipper" in Australia.

Jessica is a PADI-certified diver and the "Flipper" show allowed her to have fun and play with the dolphins. The success of the first season of "Flipper" lead to the filming of the second season, which Jessica also starred in. Jessica's involvement in "Flipper" lasted from 1995-1997. Since "Flipper" she has appeared in a number of television shows and movies.

In 1996, Jessica appeared in Venus Rising as Young Eve. Also in 1996, she appeared in an episode of "Chicago Hope", as Maria.

In 1997, Jessica appeared on the "Dini Petty Show", a Canadian talk show, and talked about her role in Flipper and her general acting career.

She began working on P.U.N.K.S., featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. P.U.N.K.S. was just recently released on video in early January, 1999. In 1998, Jessica appeared in several TV shows for an episode or two. In early 1998, she appeared in "Brooklyn South", as Melissa.

few months later, she appeared in two episodes of "Beverly Hills 90210", as Leanne. And finally, she appeared in an episode of "Love Boat: The Next Wave."

In 1999 she appeared a huge number of magazines. She had a small role in Never Been Kissed which was released in the Spring. A month later she could be found with a larger role in Idle Hands. Her two performances in those movies started a buzz in the entertainment industry. Many more magazines would come knocking on her door. Shortly after the release of those two movies, she landed the starring role in Paranoia. She finished filming Paranoia in June. Shortly after she started working on what will potentially be her biggest work ever, she auditioned for the leading role in Dark Angel landing it. This hugely succesful, almost cult TV series has now been cancelled after its 2nd season *DIE ALL FOX EXECS!!!!!*

Jessica Alba also announced last year that she is engaged to her Dark Angel co-star Michael Weatherly (Logan)
