On the eve of the actress' 41st birthday, let's look back at her film and TV career, which she seems to put on ice.

Jessica Alba's artistic biography began in the early 2000s. And for many viewers, especially men, she remains unforgettable. Her last major role came in a sharp-looking television series, released from 2019 to 2020. Most of the most striking performances were performed by her before 2010.

The actress, who will celebrate her birthday on April 28th, is known for her attractive looks and ability to transform. However, with the birth of children she switched to the business and founded a company Honest, producing environmentally friendly products for babies. Nevertheless, in numerous interviews Jessica assures that she can still return to the screen. And until that happens, let us remember her ten most striking roles.

TV series "Dark Angel", 2000 - 2002.

The role in this project was a breakthrough for Jessica. The show premiered on Fox. Alba played in it the main role of a supersoldier girl with an artificially enhanced genome. She escapes from a military facility and tries to live among ordinary people, possessing physical strength and abilities that none of them have.

Sin City, 2005.

Another comic book adaptation, this time directed by Robert Rodriguez. Alba was accompanied on the set by Rosario Dawson, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and others.

To protect her and keep her from going back to her past, Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is willing to do anything and even risk his life.

"L.A.'s Finest" series, 2019 - 2020.

Despite only two seasons of this TV show, Alba, after a long break, was once again managed to prove that she looks quite good in action projects. The plot is about two female detectives working in pair to confront a deadly criminal cartel. Each of them has a complicated biography and has an unstable character, but they find the strength to work together and confront the lawbreakers.

Into the Blue, 2005.

Alba's partner in this crime thriller was Paul Walker. They played a couple who go on a treasure hunt, but instead of gold and diamonds they find large stocks of illegal substances. The rest of the movie, the characters try to figure out what to do with such a dubious find. On top of that real owners are trying to get the "treasure" back.

The movie "Good Luck Chuck!", 2007.

The hero of this comedy-melodrama (Dane Cook) desperately struggles with a curse - as soon as he breaks up with a girl, she immediately finds the love of her life. Chuck isn't happy with that, and his desire to change the situation particularly overcomes him when he meets the one he'd like to spend the rest of his life with. As you can easily guess, our birthday girl, the charming Jessica Alba, embodies this ideal dream on the screen.

"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer", 2007.

This is the sequel to the 2005 film. Marvel's Supertroop continues to do everything they can to protect the Earth from destruction.

She starts small in New York Harlem and almost succeeds, until a failed casting director starts demanding sexual favors from her.

"Machete", 2010.
