Jessica Marie Alba
was born in Pomona, California, on April 28, 1981. Jessica’s
family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi while Jessica was
very young. Her father, who was in the Air Force, moved
the family to Del Rio, Texas, later. Eventually, the
family settled in southern California when Jessica was
nine. Jessica had always wanted to be an actress from
the age of five. She took her first acting class at
the age of 12. Shortly later, 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, who had the same color hair as the actress,
eagerly took over the spot. After her first movie, Jessica
appeared in two commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penny
and a few independent films. In 1994, she landed a reoccurring
role in "The Secret World of Alex Mac." She played a
snob who made life hard for the main character with
magical powers. Also in 1994, she landed the role of
Maya for a pilot of "Flipper."
