Jessica Marie Alba is considered a sex symbol. We frequently find her name on the "sexiest women in the world" lists. Apart from her beautiful looks, we can understand her passion for acting by looking at her childhood. Alba first became interested in acting at the age of five. Several years later, when Alba was 11 years old, there was an acting competition in Beverly Hills, California. Alba asked her mother to sign her up.

She got a chance to take a free acting class by winning first prize in the contest.

In 1994, at age 13, Alba launched her television and movie career with a small role in the film Camp Nowhere. Since then she has starred in many TV series and movies including Dark Angel, Fantastic Four, and Sin City.

In 2008, she married Cash Warren and gave birth to a girl.
