Who Is Jessica Alba?
Early Life
Alba began studying acting in her early teens and had an agent by the age of 12. Netting her first film role, she appeared in the 1994 comedy Camp Nowhere. She also found work as a model and did some commercials. Around this time, Alba landed a recurring role on The Secret World of Alex Mack, a popular tween comedy about a girl who develops special powers. She took to the water with a short-lived remake of the classic aquatic adventure series Flipper, which was filmed in Australia.
Breakthrough Role
Set in 2019 in a post-apocalyptic Seattle, the series featured storylines about her search for others from the project as well as the efforts of the government to recapture her. Her character worked with a journalist named Logan Cale, played by Michael Weatherly. Off-screen, Alba and Weatherly developed a personal relationship and were engaged for a time.
While the series earned some critical acclaim, Dark Angel only lasted for two seasons. Alba soon appeared on the big screen with Honey (2003), playing a hip-hop dancer and choreographer. Not a critical success, it was popular with teen audiences. She played a different type of dancer in Sin City (2005) — a stripper with book smarts.
Career Highlights
Taking on another adventurous part, Alba appeared in Into the Blue (2005) with Paul Walker and Scott Caan, playing a diver who gets into trouble after discovering a sunken plane. With Good Luck Chuck (2007), Alba tried her hand at romantic comedy, opposite Dane Cook. Neither effort fared well with critics nor attracted much of an audience.
Continuing to branch out, Alba starred in The Eye (2008), a remake of a Japanese horror film. She played a musician who receives an eye transplant, which produces some unexpected and unwanted side effects. Returning to comedy, Alba landed a part in the Mike Myers film The Love Guru (2008).
The actress remained busy, though many of her roles came as part of an ensemble cast or in lesser-known flicks. She continued to collaborate with Sin City co-director Robert Rodriguez, appearing in his films Machete (2010), Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World (2011) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014).
