謝茜嘉艾芭人生勝利組 由花瓶進化成百億上市公司主席

2021-06-16 13:42


影星謝茜嘉艾芭(Jessica Alba)早於13歲便出道,憑《神奇四俠》(Fantastic Four)系列及《罪惡城》(Sin City)等作品走紅,外型亮麗的她更一度獲封為荷里活女神,可是亦因此被視花瓶,更因為演技差而多次入圍「金草莓獎」(Razzie Awards)。


2012年謝茜嘉創立日用品品牌The Honest Company(前身為Honest.com),以自己作生招牌推銷各式各類的產品,不到十年就成功上市,日前在紐約證券交易所掛牌,品牌價值急升至20億美元,而謝茜嘉身家亦暴漲至近10億港元,事業與家庭皆美滿的她,成為新一代女性典範。


謝茜嘉艾芭於90年代尾在荷里活冒起,2000年獲大導演占士金馬倫(James Cameron)相中,從1200人中脫穎而出,擔當劇集《Dark Angel》的女主角,成為她第一部代表作。之後謝茜嘉接拍多部商業大製作,包括《神奇四俠》(Fantastic Four)系列及《罪惡城》(Sin City)等,成為全球知名的女星。


樣子甜美加上身材姣好,謝茜嘉艾芭於2000年代成為女神級人物,但觀眾對她的印象局限於外表出眾,不少人覺得她演技欠佳,是個美麗的花瓶。踏入30歲後,謝茜嘉眼見有其他美麗的年輕女演員冒起,決定減少幕前演出轉型從商,於2012年與拍檔Brian Lee創立The Honest Company,販賣無毒健康生活用品。形象正面的謝茜嘉親自推銷產品,一年後銷售額已達5000萬美元。


當年《神奇四俠》的女超級英雄形象都幾深入民心。

謝茜嘉艾芭旗下公司日前正式上司,其身家暴漲至10億港元。

謝茜嘉的外貌與身材都廿年如一日。


Jessica Alba

Actress, Producer, Cinematographer


Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28, 1981, in Pomona, CA, to Catherine (Jensen) and Mark David Alba, who served in the US Air Force. Her father is of Mexican descent (including Spanish and Indigenous Mexican roots), and her mother has Danish, Welsh, English, and French ancestry. Her family moved to Biloxi, MS, when she was an infant. Three years later her father's career brought the family back to California, then to Del Rio, TX, before finally settling in Southern California when Jessica was nine. In love with the idea of becoming an actress from the age of five, she was 12 before she took her first acting class. Nine months later she was signed by an agent. She studied at the Atlantic Theatre Company with founders William H. Macy and David Mamet.


A gifted young actress, Jessica has played a variety of roles ranging from light comedy to gritty drama since beginning her career. She made her feature film debut in 1993 in Hollywood Pictures' comedy 瘋狂夏令營 (1994). Originally hired for two weeks, she got her break when an actress in a principal role suddenly dropped out. Jessica cheerfully admits it wasn't her prodigious talent or charm that inspired the director to tap her to take over the part--it was her hair, which matched the original performer's. The two-week job stretched to two months, and Jessica ended the film with an impressive first credit. Two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney quickly followed before Jessica was featured in several independent films. She branched out into TV in 1994 with a recurring role in Nickelodeon's popular comedy series The Secret World of Alex Mack (1994). She played an insufferable young snob, devoted to making life miserable for the the title character, played by Larisa Oleynik. That same year, she won the role of "Maya" in Flipper (1995) and filmed the pilot for the series. She spent 1995 shooting the first season's episodes in Australia. An avid swimmer and PADI-certified SCUBA diver, Jessica was delighted to be doing a show that allowed her to play with dolphins. The show's success guaranteed it a second season, which she also starred in. Her involvement in the show lasted from 1995 to 1997.


In 1996 she appeared in Venus Rising (1995) as "Young Eve." The next year she appeared on The Dini Petty Show (1989), a Canadian talk show, and spoke about her role in "Flipper" and her general acting career. She began working on P.U.N.K.S. (1999), featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. In early 1998 she appeared in Brooklyn South (1997) as "Melissa." That same year she was in two episodes of 飛越比佛利 (1990) as "Leanne" and in two episodes of Love Boat: The Next Wave (1998).


She appeared in "Teen Magazine" in 1995 and various European magazines over the following years. More importantly, she was featured in the February 1999 issue of "Vanity Fair" magazine. She also had major roles in two movies that year: 一吻定江山 (1999) and Idle Hands (1999). In 2000 she had roles in Paranoid (2000) and starred in the sci-fi TV series 末世黑天使 (2000), gaining worldwide recognition.


Her first starring role in a major studio film was the Honey (2003), Universal Pictures' contemporary urban drama that grossed over $60 million worldwide. She has since made over 25 feature films that have earned a combined box-office total of over $800 million, including comedies and dramas, from gritty independents to major studio blockbusters. In 2005 she starred opposite Bruce Willis and an all-star cast in the provocative and critically acclaimed 萬惡城市 (2005), directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. She next starred as Sue Storm--"The Invisible Girl"--in Marvel's action-franchise blockbuster 驚奇4超人 (2005), which was released by 20th Century-Fox in July 2005 and became a worldwide box-office success with over $300 million in revenue.


Jessica was part of Garry Marshall's all-star ensemble romantic comedy, 情人節快樂 (2010), which broke box-office records with the largest opening on a four-day President's Day weekend in history. She starred opposite Casey Affleck and Kate Hudson in director Michael Winterbottom's controversial screen adaptation of 魔由心生 (2010), based on Jim Thompson's novel, as well as Robert Rodriquez's 絕煞刀鋒 (2010). She co-starred in the third installment of the hit "Meet the Parents" franchise 門當父不對之我才是老大 (2010), as well as the 4D family adventure 王牌小間諜 (2011), marking her third of five collaborations with Robert Rodriguez. Jessica was part of an all-star voice cast for The Weinstein Company's animated adventure, 地球人壞壞 (2012), also featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Brendan Fraser and James Gandolfini.


She appeared in the comedy 老爸老媽離婚時 (2013), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and starred Adam Scott, Jane Lynch and Amy Poehler. She made a cameo appearance in 殺千刀重出江湖 (2013) and co-starred in Robert Rodriquez's highly-anticipated, star-studded sequel 萬惡城市:紅顏奪命 (2014). That year she had a full slate of acting projects, including the period drama Dear Eleanor (2016), The Englishman opposite Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek; the IFC parody mini-series The Spoils of Babylon (2014), produced by Funny or Die, with a stellar cast including Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Tobey Maguire, Michael Sheen and Tim Robbins; and 玩命狂飆 (2014), co-starring Patrick Wilson, Chris Pine, Ray Liotta, Ed Helms and Brooklyn Decker.


Jessica has received Golden Globe and People's Choice Award nominations, was voted TV Guide readers' Breakout Star of the Year, and won Favorite TV Actress at the 2001 Teen Choice Awards for "Dark Angel." She won the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Female Actress for her performance in "Fantastic Four" and an MTV Movie Award for Sexiest Performance in "Sin City." She received another Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actress in a Horror/Thriller for 變眼 (2008) and was honored by the Young Hollywood Awards as Superstar of Tomorrow in 2005. She has received ALMA Awards for her performances in "Dark Angel" and "Machete," as well as a Fashion Icon in 2009.
