Just think of this lens as a tribute to a young beauty. Jessica is young, intelligent, funny, beautiful and wealthy and yet you never hear about her entering re-hab or getting busted for DUI. She is just coming into her own as an actress and is showing some comedy chops. Jessica has a very bright future in Hollywood but I wouldn't be surprised if she gave it all up some day, became a mom and had a regular life like most of us do.
So, enjoy the lens and check back regularly as I update the pictures and YouTube videos and don't forget to check out her new film "Good Luck Chuck" on Sept 21st.
Alba was born in Pomona, California, to Mark Alba, who is Mexican American (though both of Jessica Alba's paternal grandparents were born in California), and Catherine Jensen, who has French and Danish ancestry; the two married while in their teenage years.
Alba had expressed interest in acting since the age of five. She took her first acting class at age twelve, and an acting agent signed her nine months later. Her first appearance on film was a small role in the 1994 feature Camp Nowhere as Gail. She was originally hired for two weeks but her role turned into a two-month job when the actress in one of the prominent roles dropped out.
Alba appeared in two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney as a child; she was later featured in several independent films. She branched out into TV in 1994 with a recurring role as Jessica in three episodes of the Nickelodeon comedy series The Secret World of Alex Mack. She then performed the role of Maya in the first two seasons of the TV series Flipper.
In 1998, she appeared as Melissa Hauer in a first-season episode of the Steven Bochco crime-drama Brooklyn South, as Leanne in two episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 and as Layla in an episode of The Love Boat: The Next Wave. In 1999, she appeared in the Randy Quaid comedy feature P.U.N.K.S.. After graduating from high school, Alba studied acting with William H. Macy and his wife, Felicity Huffman, at the Atlantic Theater Company, which was developed by Macy and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and film director, David Mamet.
Alba rose to greater prominence in Hollywood in 1999 after appearing as a member of a snobby high school clique in the Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Never Been Kissed, and as the female lead in the 1999 comedy-horror film Idle Hands, opposite Devon Sawa. Her big break came when writer/director James Cameron picked Alba from a pool of 1,200 candidates for the role of the genetically-engineered super-soldier, Max Guevara, on the FOX sci-fi TV series Dark Angel. Co-created by Cameron, the series starred Alba, and ran for two seasons before being canceled in 2002. Since then her most notable roles have been as an aspiring dancer-choreographer in Honey, exotic dancer Nancy Callahan in Sin City and as the classic Marvel Comics character Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman in the Fantastic Four.

Jessica had the looks to make us believe she was a genetically-enhanced woman in the sci-fi hit Dark Angel, and has the body to make any guy want to go see a chick flick like Honey. Even though she's been away from the spotlight for a few years, Jessica has always been on our minds.
Okay, I just saw the latest trailer for "Good Luck Chuck" (I've posted it just below)and I have to say, it does seem funnier to me now. Of course Jessica looks as great as she always does.
I think this will be a good test of her comedy skills, there's lots of slapstick comedy in this movie.
She's branching out a little with comedy in this role and that's a good thing for her career. I think though, that the powers that be need to come up with a "Dark Angel" feature film at some point, in the near future.
Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) is a struggling hip-hop dancer who's got all the moves, talent and relentless passion to succeed. She's been waiting all her life to show the world her dance moves and now her dream is just a step away. Inspired by the energy and music of the streets, she risks her shot at the big time to reach out, take a chance and make it on her own terms. Pulse-pounding music and awesome dance moves ignite this exhilarating story of passion, determination and finding the courage....0 points
