Jessica Alba is one of the hottest stars in the world, embraced for her incredible figure, her sweet face and her incredible acting ability, Jessica Alba's fans range from young to old, male and female. She took her first acting class at the age of twelve, fulfilling a dream she had held since she was five years old. For Jessica, dreams really did come true, because just nine months after that first acting class she was was signed by an agent.

But don't think that it has always been easy for Jessica, she certainly paid her dues in the acting world, she simply paid them whilst most people were attending junior high and high school. By no means a child star, Jessica did hold a few roles in her teen years, including her debut movie, a comedy called 'Camp Nowhere'. Several roles followed this one, in both television, movies, and advertising.

She shot to fame seriously around the year 2000, with her ongoing role as the sassy lead in the television series 'Dark Angel.' Ever since then she has commanded a special spot in the world if entertainment, most notably as a sex symbol.

But does Jessica really embrace her role as a sex goddess? Hm, it would seem not so much. Jessica is even quoted as saying: "It's not always so great to be objectified but I don't feel I have much of a choice right now. I'm young in my career. I know I have to strike when the iron is hot. I look forward to the day when I can do a small movie and act and it's not about me wearing a bathing suit or chaps."

Still, if you're holding out hope of being with Jessica Alba, even though she is a mommy, there is something you can do to make yourself more attractive. Get older. According to Jessica, she has quite a soft spot for older men. Listing some of her favorite male actors, Jessica once said: " Morgan Freeman , Sean Connery , Robert Redford , Michael Caine . I have this thing for older men. They've been around and know so much."

Finally, we get a chance to share in what Jessica seems to think is her secret to success: "My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing." Of course, looking confident is acting, and we know that Jessica is a great actress, so perhaps, at the end of the day, the secret to success as an actress is to uhm, be a good actress. Yes. That makes sense.
