Biography

  • Full Name: Jessica Marie Alba
  • Birth Place: Pomona, California, USA
  • Birth Date: April 28, 1981
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.

Jessica has quickly become one of the hottest female celebrities in showbiz. At 127 lbs., she is 5' 7" with a wonderful 35-24-35 anatomy. She has a tattoo of a daisy with a ladybird on it on the back of her neck, and the Sanskrit symbol for lotus flower, "padma", on her wrist.  Jessica has already played a variety of roles ranging from light comedy to gritty drama since beginning her career.

Alba’s first film role, in the 1994 film “Camp Nowhere,” came her way by chance. She was cast with a bit part in the film after one of the characters dropped out of the production. Jessica was cast as the replacement, thanks to the fact that her dark hair matched that of the original actress.

Destined to succeed, Jessica branched out into the realm of series television earning herself a recurring role on Nickelodeon's comedy series, “The Secret World of Alex Mack.” Her next major role was in the “Flipper” series as Maya. Jessica is an avid swimmer and a PADI certified diver, which allows her a great latitude and enjoyment in her acting career.  

It was during this time that Jessica found out firsthand just how deranged some fans can get. After receiving numerous threatening calls, Jessica was abducted in the middle of the night by a group of men. Fortunately, she was found in the trunk of a car, bound and gagged, but physically unharmed.

More recently, she was featured in the February 1999 issue of “Vanity Fair” magazine. She also had major roles in two movies that year: “Never Been Kissed” (1999) and “Idle Hands” (1999). In 2000 she had roles in “Paranoid” (2000/I) and starred in the sci-fi TV series “Dark Angel” (2000).
