Jessica Alba

Where you’ve seen her:
As the genetically-enhanced super-warrior Max in the Fox sci-fi series Dark Angel, and in the movies P.U.N.K.S., Never Been Kissed, Idle Hands, The Sleeping Dictionary, Honey, Sin City, Fantastic Four, and Into the Blue.

Just our typecast:
“The scripts I get are always for the whore, or the motorcycle chick in leather, or the horny maid. I get all these screenplays that start, 'Tawnya is in the shower. The water streams down her naked, perky breasts.'”

Dancing teen:
“Before I was legal to go into clubs, I used to go to raves to dance. From drum'n'bass to techno to reggae, it was not about being sexy. It was another form of expression, like acting.”

Cave men:
“Guys are visually stimulated. They're easy to manipulate. All you have to do is dress up in a sexy outfit. Girls just have this power over guys. Guys are sort of stupid, that way.”
