Jessica Alba Mobile WallpaperJessica Marie Alba (born April 28, 1981) is an American actress. She is known for her roles in movies such as Idle Hands, and her starring role in the TV series Dark Angel. She got her first starring movie role in Honey, and went on to appear in prominent roles in Sin City and Fantastic Four. Alba was born in Pomona, California to Mark Alba (of Mexican descent) and Cathy Jensen (whose father is of Danish descent and mother is of French Canadian descent). Alba was raised in a military family, living with her parents, her brother Joshua, and her grandparents until she was sixteen. She grew up a sports fanatic. Her father's navy career took the family to Biloxi, Mississippi, and Del Rio, Texas, before they settled back in California when she was nine. Alba's early life had been marked by a multitude of physical maladies, as she suffered collapsed lungs twice, had pneumonia 4-5 times a year, and suffered a burst appendix, a cyst on her tonsils, had frequent proteinuria, back spasms, migrane, asthma, anorexia, bulimia, and kidney infection. This served to isolate her from other children at school because, as she claims, she was in the hospital so often that no one knew her well enough to befriend her. She also revealed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that she suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder as a child. Her health improved, however, when her family moved to California. Her brother Joshua appeared with her in "And Jesus
Brought a Casserole," the first season finale of Dark Angel, in
which he played Krit, one of her X-5 brothers who wanted to help destroy
Manticore.
