Blond or brunette, underclad or invisible, Jessica Alba makes iconic poses look easy.
They're not, the 23-year-old actress claims. But with three eye-popping movies due out this year, the young woman formerly known for TV's Dark Angel accepts that looking good is a necessary tradeoff for doing what she really wants to do.
There are worse problems to have.
"It's just a way to sell a movie," Alba says of such promotional images as herself in cowboy hat, leather bra and chaps (for Sin City, opening this week), skintight spandex action suit (Fantastic Four, this summer) and Bahama-mama bikini (Into the Blue, also summer). "It has nothing to do with when I'm on the set, doing the work that I love to do.
"It's very separate. I feel like I actually get paid to sell a movie and I don't really get paid to act. It's much harder to sit at a photo shoot in a bathing suit than it is to communicate and be honest and pure and in the moment, which is what I hope to get out of any experience."
Even out of camera range and demurely dressed in a co-ordinated, café-au-lait turtleneck and full, pleated skirt, Alba looks extraordinary. And there have been those show-biz romances. She was engaged for a time to Dark Angel co-star Michael Weatherly and is currently dating a behind-the-scener she met while making Fantastic Four.
But there is something to the serious-actress rhetoric. Alba has studied with David Mamet and William H. Macy. And although her career has been built on fan-boy fantasies, at least they're astute, challenging ones.
Dark Angel, in which she played the very combative, genetically enhanced future warrior Max Guevara, was created by no less a mogul than James Cameron.
Fantastic Four's Sue Storm the Invisible Woman was the first Marvel Comics heroine in the storied company's flagship title.
As for Sin City, well, comic-book movies just don't get any cooler. A noirish fever dream presented mostly in digitized black-and-white, the film was co-directed by the comic's creator, Frank Miller (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), and Robert Rodriguez, the rebel filmmaker whose work ranges from over-the-top shoot-'em-ups (Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico) to quirky family action comedies (Spy Kids and its sequels).
A compilation of stories from three of Miller's graphic novels, Sin City is packed with brutal bad guys and very dangerous dames. It says something about the tone of the picture that Alba's Nancy Callahan, who does a cowgirl routine in a seedy strip bar, is the most innocent character in the movie.
Still, Rodriguez knew what he was hiring Alba to do. And he felt a little guilty about it.
"I first met Jessica when she came and read for The Faculty," he recalls. "She was 16 or 17 and looked kinda dorky, skinny and scrawny. I was really looking at her because there were very few Latin actresses, and from then on I was watching her, really hoping that she would be around for another movie.
"It's almost like that feeling of, I remember when she was just a little girl. And now I'm filming her like this," Rodriguez says, holding an imaginary camera at arms length, with his face aimed in the opposite direction, eyes shut tight.
For research, Alba checked out strip clubs in several cities. But the real actress in her also sought less predictable inspiration.
"The dance moves, I just listened to a lot of Ry Cooder and Emmylou Harris," says the surprise country fan, whose biggest movie hit has been the hip-hop romance Honey.
"That's what I felt she was dancing to, something really sad and slow that had the emotions of these people in this bar. That's sort of where I was coming from . . . sadness mixed with a disconnect.
"And too, just for rhythm," Alba adds, "because Robert needed slow- and fast-paced dances, I listened to a Kylie Minogue song that lots of strippers liked to use."
Sin City was shot almost entirely against blank screens on which sets and environments were digitally added later. In what you might expect to be the movie's key challenge, actors had to pretend they were in dungeons or snowstorms that they never saw until they watched the finished film.
But it was old hat to Alba.
"The only training I ever had was in David Mamet's Atlantic Theater Company, and all I did was go on these little stages and imagine things," she says.
"But they were in small rooms. The difference is, I think, with Robert it gets very specific and he fine-tuned your performance. So it was a marriage of film and theatre, I felt."
Fantastic Four was in some ways the opposite. The title superheroes are a quartet of scientists who, after getting zapped with cosmic rays, develop powers -- specific to their personalities -- that they have a tough time learning to control. Thus Alba's Sue Storm, in love with group leader Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), who doesn't really notice her, tends to physically disappear during times of stress or frustration.

"All of our abilities are grounded in our characters, and that's why I wanted to do it," Alba says.
While these pop fantasy movies aren't exactly Greek tragedy, Alba does see some classic sense in them.
"I don't know if there were so many of these roles 15 years ago, because we didn't have the technology that we have now to create these fantastical worlds," she says. "It's just a modern take on Greek mythology, something that humans have been fascinated with since the beginning of time."
Modern technology also enables comic-book purists to complain about the casting of their favourite characters on the Internet.
"Didn't they have resistance to Tobey Maguire playing Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine?" Alba says. "They don't like anything until they see it."
But some complaints about the half-Hispanic actress playing white-bread Sue Storm have a different tone.
"I guess everyone believes that race is something we talk about, but it isn't," Alba says with a shrug. "I'm half Mexican-American and half Caucasian, and I have blue eyes and blond hair in the movie, wear contacts and whatever. We recreated it exactly."
An Air Force brat, Alba lived in various parts of the United States before her family settled in Southern California. She began her career at the age of 12, and although she admits that she faced her share of stereotyping, the kid actress landed a healthy variety of film, commercial and television work.
That's where she learned to scuba dive, a passion that made this year's third movie release feel like a paid water-sports vacation.
"It was fun," she says of Into the Blue, which spices up its tanned-flesh basics with some cocaine-smuggling intrigue "I play a shark wrangler and I'm terrified of sharks, so I got to play a character against type. I've made an effort since Dark Angel to never play the same character twice. And this character Sam has moved to the Bahamas, lives a very simple life in a trailer, and just wants to study sharks and live with her boyfriend and just be at peace."
Great work if you can get it. Like making movies, regardless of all the side issues that come with the job.
"If you kind of keep yourself open to things happening, they'll happen," the busy actress says. "I've been really focused since I started acting at 12, believe it or not. I just this year sort of relaxed and began to think, okay, I think I'll get another job. So I've been really hustling and really fighting and really struggling and trying to get people not to put me in one box or another and to not say, 'Oh, she's a Latina actress,' 'She's a white actress,' 'She's a this actress,' 'She's a that actress,' and just be an actress that's a chameleon. Now, I feel like I've done that to a degree."

IF she gotta show her tits and ass just for an oscar like Halle did then she don't need it that bad. They should give her an oscar for her acting. Jessica Alba is a beautiful girl who with her simplicity makes her more desirable to men.

Jessica is a great actress and a lovely person. hey, Halle and Nicole kidman are the best out there too.

I'm sorry I just think that Halle is a little over rated. Nicole thats a different story.
Well Jessica Alba is my dream girl of all the actresses and her not taking her clothes off, just makes her even hotter and classier!!!!! First it gives here more respect which makes her even more interesting than she already is. And also not showing her goods, will make you wonder even more which basically makes u more into her. To me, an actress that doesnt show here shit out to the public makes them alot more attractive than someones who does show. At least that's my opinion!!!!!!! By the way, what is Jessica Alba's nationality? I've been trying to figure that out for awhile now!!

She's half mexican half white. I have gained more respect for Jessica, even though a nude scene would have been cool, she has shown a more classy side of her. I wish more actress and singers(eemmmmmm britney).LOL
