Jessica Alba Gets ‘Silenced’ To Get Out The Vote

If you ask Jessica Alba, not voting is even scarier than Hannibal Lecter. The star of “The Eye” — who knows a thing or two about horror movies — put on a “Silence of the Lambs”-like mask in her second shocking ad for Declare Yourself, a campaign to drive young people to register to vote.

Find out what celebs are joining her… inside.

Full Story
 

Overview

Jessica first became really well-known to fans on the small screen in 2000 in James Cameron’s cult Fox show, “Dark Angel.” But it was her frequent on-screen bikini moments in 2005’s skin-fest flick “Into the Blue” which solidified her standing as the latest and hottest sex symbol to take over Hollywood.

Despite this, the sultry Latina, who was born in Pomona, California in 1981, is fully aware that talent and good connections is what will take her the distance. And talent she has!

She’s been acting since she was 12 and has already built enough of an impressive collection of on screen credits to make her a part of Hollywood’s young elite. She’s not your typical Hollywood starlet – you won’t find Alba out at the clubs until 2 AM. She’s got an impressive drive to succeed, and she’s a hot one to watch!

  • Name: Jessica Alba
  • Birthdate: April 28, 1981
  • Birthplace: Pomona, California
