Jessica Alba | Born 1981

American actress-turned-entrepreneur Jessica Alba was born on April 28, 1981, to Catherine Louisa and Mark David Alba. Her father was an officer in the United States Air Force, which meant that the actress moved around a lot when she was younger. After graduating high school, Alba pursued an acting career by attending the Atlantic Theater Company.

She earned a few minor acting credits and a few modeling jobs at the start of her career, but her big break came when she was cast to play Max Guevara in the sci-fi series Dark Angel. She would then go on to star in a plethora of different films ranging from light-hearted romantic comedies to action-packed superhero movies. However, despite the success that she was enjoying as an actress, Alba set her sights on a different path: business. The actress founded her business, The Honest Company, in 2012 and has been working on it non-stop until today.
