Jessica Alba
Biography
Some
people were born for lives of adventure in the untamed jungles of
the world. Some were born to endure a grey existence as cheerless
office peons. Jessica Alba was born to play hot chick roles for
film and TV.
"I
got a woman's figure when I was 12, and it was intense," she
remarked to Us Weekly. "All of a sudden, you're viewed as a
sex object." Combine that with her Navy family's nomadic lifestyle,
it was just a matter of time before this attention-seeking, sexually
precocious kid found herself in front of a camera.
Of course,
many actresses attract a lot more notice when they turn 18, and
Jessica was no exception: she'd been acting since 1994, but it wasn't
until 1999's Never Been Kissed and Idle Hands that she became widely
visible.
Now,
at 19, it's pretty hard not to notice her, what with the endless
hype for James Cameron's critically acclaimed but very lame Dark
Angel. And she isn't likely to disappear any time soon, either:
even if Dark Angel gets laughed off the airwaves, the stench of
failure will stick to Cameron, not Alba (since it's the show itself
that sucks, not its actors), she isn't so particular about what
movies she's in that she winds up not making any like Laura Prepon,
doesn't currently have to worry about the ten extra pounds the camera
always adds like Michelle Williams, and has a sensuality that's
a lot more obvious and accessible than Leelee Sobieski, Katie Holmes,
and many of the other new crop of TV and film nymphets.
The only
downside as far as her fans are concerned is that with all this
going for her already, there's little reason for her to do any nude
work, so chances are she won't unless it's something she personally
aspires to do. Of course, there are those who couldn't wait for
that to happen; as always, lecherous interested parties can see
the results of their impatience here.
