Carrer
Jessica Alba had expressed interest in acting since the age of five. She took her first acting class at age twelve, and an acting agent signed her nine months later. Her first appearance on film was a small role in the 1994 feature Camp Nowhere as Gail. Jessica Alba was originally hired for two weeks but her role turned into a two-month job in a leading role when one of the prominent actresses dropped out.
Her big break came when writer/director James Cameron picked Alba from a pool of 1,200 candidates for the role of the genetically-engineered super-soldier, Max Guevara, on the FOX sci-fi television series Dark Angel. Co-created by Cameron, the series starred Jessica Alba, and ran for two seasons until 2002, earning her critical acclaim as well as a Golden-Globe nomination.

She appeared in Into the Blue later that year, and Good Luck Chuck a few years later. Alba went on to host the 2006 MTV Movie Awards and performed sketches spoofing the movies King Kong, Mission Impossible 3, and The Da Vinci Code.
Alba's Pregnancy Was No Accident
Actress Jessica Alba insists her pregnancy was no "accident" - because she and fiance Cash Warren failed to practice safe sex. The Fantastic Four star - who is expected to give birth to her first child next month - never predicted she would be pregnant at the age of 27, but she openly admits she wasn't being "careful" with contraception. She tells America's Allure magazine, "I can't say it was a total accident. Because you're aware of when you're being careful and when you're not. It just happened so soon. I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they're having sex. I don't think sex is a big deal."
