Born in Pomona, California, to a Mexican-American father and French/Danish-American mother, Jessica knew at the age of five she wanted to act and began taking acting lessons at 12. In her first work as a pro, the 1994 movie Camp Nowhere, Jessica gained a larger part when a fellow cast member dropped out (thereby pulling herself out of Camp Nowhere). Soon she was doing national commercials (Nintendo, J.C. Penney) and playing a dolphin’s best friend in the TV show Flipper. After a couple of episodes on Beverly Hills, 90210, and the mean-girl part in Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore and Jordan Ladd (TK), Alba’s no-looking-back moment came when James Cameron picked her to be his genetically engineered super-soldier on the Fox sci-fi series Dark Angel. It was arguably the wisest move of his career.
