Jessica Alba

美國影星杰西卡?奧爾芭，以其驚艷的美貌，富于個性的演技，贏得了無數影迷的喝彩，使她成為了全美國的“寶貝”和“天使”。

Because Jessica Albas father was in the Air Force, the Alba family did their fair share of moving. Jessica Alba was born in Pomona, California but soon relocated to Biloxi, Mississippi. Later, the Alba family packed their bags for Del Rio, Texas. It wasnt until Jessica Alba was nine that she and her family finally settled in southern California.

Jessica Alba had dreamed of being an actress since she was five, but it wasnt until she was 12 that she took her first acting class. Jessica was a natural and landed an agent only nine months after that first class. In 1993, Jessica Alba got a part in the movie Camp Nowhere. A part that was supposed to last two weeks suddenly evolved（發展成） into a two-month gig when a main actress in the movie had to drop out. From that movie, Jessica started landing big commercial spots and eventually a recurring role on the family show, Flipper!

Jessica Albas biggest TV role was in the Sci-Fi（科幻） TV hit, Dark Angel, created and produced by oscar-winning director James Cameron. Jessica played Max, a genetically（基因地） upgraded chick with a barcode tattoo and super-human abilities. The show became a big hit in its first season, but tanked in its second season, leaving Jessica Alba and her then-finace, MichaelWeatherly,unemployed.

Since her departure from the small screen, Jessica Alba has been heating things up on the silver screen. She began making waves when she starred in the dance movie, Honey, in 2003. This year, Jessica is taking the movie scene by storm once again. Early in 2005 she had a major role in the movie Sin City, in July 2005 she became a member of The Fantastic Four and on September 30, 2005, Jessica Alba and Paul Walker go in search of sunken treasure in Into the Blue.
