Jessica Alba was born in Pomona, California, to Catherine (née Jensen) and Mark Alba. Her mother is of Danish and French Canadian descent and her father is of Mexican ancestry. She has a younger brother, Joshua. Her father's Air Force career took the family to Biloxi, Mississippi and Del Rio, Texas, before settling back in Claremont, California, when she was nine years old. Alba described her family as being a "very conservative family – a traditional, Catholic, Latin American family" and herself as very liberal; she says she had identified herself as a "feminist" as early as age five.
Jessica Alba is an American television and film actress and model. She began her television and movie appearances at age 13 in Camp Nowhere and The Secret World of Alex Mack (1994). Alba rose to prominence as the lead actress in the television series Dark Angel (2000–2002). Alba later appeared in various films, including Honey (2003), Sin City (2005), Fantastic Four (2005), Into the Blue (2005), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Good Luck Chuck both in 2007.
Signed by an agent by the age of 12, Alba made her screen debut with "Camp Nowhere." Alba went on to appear in two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney, which led to her landing a recurring role as the young snob, Jessica, in three episodes of the Nickelodeon comedy series, "The Secret World of Alex Mack." She then performed the role of Maya Graham in the first two seasons of the TV series, "Flipper" (also known as "The New Adventures of Flipper").
Under the tutelage of her lifeguard mother, Alba learned to swim before she could walk and was a PADI-certified scuba diver - skills which were put to use on the show, which was filmed in Australia. As the fresh-faced, enthusiastic and sweet Maya, the part would provide Alba a nice departure from her previous "mean girl" TV efforts. Alba's career kicked into high gear in 2000 when she was cast as the genetically perfect Max on James Cameron's post-"Titanic" (1998) TV series, "Dark Angel."
Her popularity skyrocketed along with the show's success. In the first season, she was nominated for a Golden Globe and she won the TV Guide Award as Breakout Star of the Year - nevertheless, the very expensive series folded in 2002 despite its devoted core following. It would not be for naught, however. Following the conclusion of "Dark Angel," Alba went public with her engagement to her co-star, Michael Weatherly - who played Logan Cale on the show - but, the celebrated twosome would subsequently break up in 2003. Alba's opportunities expanded along with her success, following the cancellation of "Dark Angel" - much of it to do with her smoldering Latina looks and toned body.
In 2001, she became a spokeswoman for L'Oreal hair products - the Feria line of coloring -and in 2002, she starred in the low-profile film "The Sleeping Dictionary" as a South American woman who falls in love with a British colonialist who visits her village. Her first major bid toward big screen stardom came in the form of "Honey" (2003), a feast of Alba-fueled eye candy but otherwise undistinguished effort aimed at the MTV demographic. In the urban music-fueled film, she played a tough music video choreographer.
Jessica Alba holds up some fun props while attending her Honest Company’s 2nd Birthday Celebration at the main offices on Thursday (January 30) in Santa Monica, California. The 32-year-old actress was joined by her friend and co-founder Christopher Gavigan as they posed for a photograph together and treated themselves to some cake. Earlier in the week, Jessica and her husband Cash Warren hit the carpet at the 2014 Hollywood Stands Up to Cancer Event held in Culver City. The reviews are in, and it appears Jessica Alba's haircut is a hit! At least at home.
At the Honest Company's two year anniversary party last night in Santa Monica, Calif., the actress told E! News' Jesse Giddings that her daughters "are into" her new shoulder-length cut—especially her oldest. "I don't know if it's cool…Honor thought it was cool!" the mom-of-two shared. New haircut or not, the busy star always seems to look good, which she credits to a three main reason: organic produce, water and keeping active.
