Jessica Alba may be a former child star, but luckily (for everyone), she hasn't faded into obscurity or the world of made-for-TV movies. After making her debut in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere, Jessica Alba was cast in the TV series The Secret World of Alex Mack. In 1995, she could be seen in TV's Flipper, but she became better known for a kidnapping incident during the show's filming. Talk about being in demand...
Thankfully, she was unharmed, and even had the good fortune of moving on to the big screen with roles in the teen horror flick Idle Hands (1999) and the hit Drew Barrymore comedy Never Been Kissed.
But 2000 proved to be her lucky year, as she starred as Max, a genetically engineered teen, in the FOX sci-fi series Dark Angel. Jessica Alba became TV's brightest new star, James Cameron's darling and apparently the best thing about the show. And the critics agreed: Jessica Alba was nominated for a Golden Globe, a Young Artist Award and an ALMA (American Latino Media Arts) Award, all for her performance in the series.
After Dark Angel's demise in 2002, Jessica Alba was gone (but not forgotten) for a short while, only to reemerge as the star of 2003's box-office hit Honey. She was even on Punk'd, the MTV celeb reality series by Ashton Kutcher when she was confronted by a nude shopper.
2005 proved to be a huge year for Jessica Alba, as she starred as stripper Nancy Callahan in the highly anticipated film Sin City. She rounded out the year with roles in more big-budget features like Into the Blue and Fantastic Four.
Never one to slow down, Good Luck Chuck, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Awake, and The Ten were the projects for the hardworking Jessica Alba in 2007. In '08 she added The Love Guru and The Eye to her resume.
