Jessica Marie Alba has quickly become one of the hottest female properties in showbiz. Her career has slowly gained momentum since the age of 12, when Jessica took her first acting class. After a period of nine months, Jessica had signed on with an agent and landed her first role in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere. 
Alba was fortunate when the lead in the film dropped out and producers decided to use her because she had the same color hair. After that role, Alba did two different commercials for JC Penny and Nintendo. Jessica landed her first television series role playing as Jessica in The Secret World of Alex Mack. Her character on the show was the snobbish adversary of Alex Mack, who was played by Larisa Oleynik. Her role lasted until 1995, a year which also included a series role as Maya Graham in the remake of the 60's version of the show centered around a dolphin. Alba was lucky enough to film the first season of the show in Australia in a role that lasted until 1996. Later that year Alba joined the cast of Chicago Hope for an episode playing Maria.

Jessica's post television series roles found her return to film, where she was cast in a number of films. Later in 1996, Jessica starred with Freddie Prinze Jr. in the made for TV movie Too Soon For Jeff, where she played as a pregnant teenager in a difficult relationship. While not being seen much in 1997, the following year brought the role of Samantha Swaboda in P.U.N.K.S. featuring Randy Quaid, which is generally regarded as an awful movie. Jessica took the same year to cameo in Brooklyn South, Beverly Hills, 90210, and The Love Boat: The Next Wave. Alba bounced back from P.U.N.K.S. in 1999 by playing Kirsten Liosis in the acclaimed Never Been Kissed, which starred Drew Barrymore. Later that year she starred in a larger role in Idle Hands, playing Molly in a comedy horror flick where a boy's right hand becomes possessed with murderous intent. For those looking for Jessica nude, unfortunately, underwear scenes are the best you can do for now in Idle Hands. If Jessica follows her peers Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt, don't look for nudity in her upcoming film roles anytime soon.

Jessica broke out in 2000 when James Cameron, the Academy Award winning producer of Titanic tapped her to star in Dark Angel, his FOX television series about a genetically enhanced human prototype who escaped her military handlers as a child who lives in a dreary, futuristic version of Seattle named Max Guevara. The series got off to a controversial start as FOX decided to run the season premiere opposite of the Presidential Debates, leading many too question the integrity of the network. The move certainly paid off for the show though, as it received huge ratings which have helped the series off to a much better start than the last FOX series to star a high profile female sex symbol, Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her role in Dark Angel also has landed her in the tabloids, where reports are swarming that she's openly canoodling on the set with co-star Michael Weatherly, who plays Logan Cale (who isn't wheelchair bound in real life). A source revealed to Star magazine "They started flirting and exchanging provocative comments, and one thing led to another." While some question the 13 year age different between the two, others point to his shotgun wedding to a co-star, Amelia Heinie, in his former series role in the daytime soap Loving, which resulted in a quick divorce as they share a 4 year old son. When Entertainment Tonight questioned Weatherly about it, Jessica snuck into the interview area to motion towards licking his ear, which followed Weatherly's request to do the remainder of the interview in French. Whatever the case, Alba said in the same interview that she isn't looking to settle down with anyone, and doesn't plan on motherhood at least until her late 20s. Lest people fear the young Jessica will be hurt by Weatherly, Alba did tell Maxim her rules of dating include not to give it up too soon as well as not giving your heart too soon, so it looks like this girl can take care of herself.
