Background

Originally from Pomona, California, her father, Mark Alba, and his US Air Force career required the family to move from place to place. Shifting from Mississippi and Texas back to Southern California, Jessica was finally able to pursue her dream of becoming an actress when she enrolled in an acting class at age 12 and was hired by an agent nine months later.
