Heyy Im Jessica Alba.
I grew up in Pomona,California.
I was born on April 28,1981.
Im 5'7".
Some people call me Sky Angel.
My family and I moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, when I was an infant. Three years later, my Air Force father brought the family back to California, then to Del Rio, Texas, before finally settling in Southern California when I was nine. In love with the idea of becoming an actress from the age of five, I was 12 before she took my first acting class. Nine months later I was signed by an agent. A gifted young actress, I have already played a variety of roles ranging from light comedy to gritty drama since beginning my career. I made my feature film debut in 1993 in Hollywood Pictures' comedy Camp Nowhere (1994). Originally hired for two weeks, I got my break when an actress in a principal role suddenly dropped out. I cheerfully admit it wasn't my prodigious talent or charm that inspired the director to tap me to take over the part--it was her hair, which matched the original performer's. The two-week job stretched to two months, and I ended the film with an impressive first credit. Two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney quickly followed before I was featured in several independent films. I branched out into TV in 1994 with a recurring role in Nickelodeon's popular comedy series "The Secret World of Alex Mack" (1994). I played an insufferable young snob, devoted to making life miserable for the the title character, played by Larisa Oleynik. That same year I won the role of Maya in "Flipper" (1995) and filmed the pilot for the series. I spent 1995 shooting the first season's episodes in Australia. An avid swimmer and PADI-certified scuba diver, I was delighted to be doing a show that allowed me to play with dolphins. The show's success guaranteed it a second season, which I also starred in. My involvement in the show lasted from 1995 to 1997. Since the show ended, I have appeared in a number of television shows and movies. In 1996 I appeared in Venus Rising (1995) as Young Eve. In 1997 I appeared on the "The Dini Petty Show" (1989), a Canadian talk show, and spoke about her role in "Flipper" and my general acting career. I began working on P.U.N.K.S. (1999), featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. In early 1998 I appeared in "Brooklyn South" (1997), as Melissa. The same year I was in two episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) as Leanne and in two episodes of "The Love Boat: The Next Wave" (1998). I appeared in "Teen Magazine" in 1995 and various European magazines in the following several years. More importantly, I was featured in the February 1999, issue of "Vanity Fair". I also had major roles in two movies that year: Never Been Kissed (1999) and Idle Hands (1999). In 2000 I had roles in Paranoid (2000/I) and _Dark Angel (2000) (TV)_ .
