/wiki/Jessica Albacreator

Jessica Marie Alba, born April 28, 1981, started out playing in a few independent films and a couple of seasons of Flipper. Then she grew up and starred in Dark Angel. And then she played a stripper in Sin City, and Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four, and wore a bikini in Into the Blue. She has a personal code about never appearing nude. At least not completely.

Over time it's come to light that she dislikes most of her CV. She thought Good Luck Chuck was borderline pornographic, The Killer Inside Me was gratuitously violent (she's stated she doesn't want her daughters to see it), and hated working on the Fantastic Four movies so much that she almost quit acting.

Although she appeals a bit too much to males to have any chick flicks in the foreseeable future, Valentine's Day notwithstanding and she barely appears in this one (see also Scarlett Johansson and Megan Fox), she has almost certainly won some female fans by not hiding how difficult it was for her to get back in shape after having her two daughters Honor and Haven as well as her son Hayes. She has been married to their father Cash Warren since 2008.

With the birth of Haven, she started an ecologically friendly company called The Honest Company. With this, she is now a billionaire.

She also tweets pretty often.

Jessica Alba provides examples of the following tropes:

• Ambiguously Brown: She often plays this role and a common joke is trying to figure out what race she is ].
• Awesome, Dear Boy: She got the role of Susan Storm of the Storyverse Fantastic Four films because she wanted to play a superhero since childhood.
• Fountain of Expies: Since she is a 2000s sex symbol, this is expected.
  • In Sly 2: Band of Thieves, a Jessica Alba-soundalike Alesia Glidewell voiced Carmelita Fox in that game.
  • A SpongeBob SquarePants book had a character named Jessica Albacore. It helps that she is a SpongeBob SquarePants fan.
• Ms. Fanservice: It's hard not to find a film where she has these moments.
• One-Woman Song: The German group Fourtypercent (with "Jessica Alba") and the English group Elliot Minor (with "Jessica").
• Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Jessica likes being sexy but not naked.
• Star-Making Role:
  • For her TV career, Dark Angel put her on the spotlight.
  • Honey, Fantastic Four, Into the Blue and Sin City have made her a household name in film.
• Theme Naming: All of her children have first names that are five letters long and begin with an H.
