Jessica Alba will be seen in three of 2005's most anticipated films. In addition to Sin City, she will next be seen as Sue Storm/The Invisiible Girl in Marvel Comics' action-franchise The Fantastic Four, directed by Tim Story; and in Into the Blue, this summer's underwater action-adventure co-starring Paul Walker, Josh Brolin and Scott Caan.

Alba made her major studio film debut starring as the title character the 2003 release, Honey, which grossed over $60-million worldwide. Earlier, Alba achieved worldwide recognition as the lead character in James Cameron's television series Dark Angel, Cameron's first project after Titanic. Playing Max, a genetically enhanced human prototype in 21st Century Seattle, she was nominated for a Golden Globe and a People's Choice Award. Alba was also voted the TV Guide Award as Breakout Star of the Year by readers, and won Favorite TV Actress at the 2001 Teen Choice Awards.

Alba fell in love with acting at a very early age, becoming active professionally at the age of 12. She began studying with acting coaches in Los Angeles and, shortly thereafter, landed at the Atlantic Theatre Company, where she studied with founders William H. Macy and David Mamet.

Alba's first feature film credits include Never Been Kissed, Idle Hands and The Sleeping Dictionary. In recent years, Alba has appeared in a select handful of iconic campaigns including L' Oreal cosmetics, the famous milk mustache Got Milk? campaign and the 30th Anniversary Fall ‘04 campaign for The Gap. An exotic beauty, Alba was raised in a traditional American family in California. Her mother's family has a French-Danish heritage, while her father is from Mexican-Indian and Spanish lineage.
