If you never knew where her parents are from, what nationality you think she'd be?

Before I knew that her mother was Danish/French, I actually thought both of her parents were Puerto Rican or something. Hey, my guess was wrong though. But now that her hair is blonde, she doesn't look latina as much as she used to.

I know this question has been asked before and sadly i've forgotten the answer. One of her parents is indeed Danish, I believe her mother and i believe her dad is mexican. Just not sure.

Yes, her father is Mexican. There's something about her eyes that make her look latina. Is it me or you also agree with me? LOL

I would say her entire appearance makes her look latina. ;)

She sometimes looked black to me, but those lighter skined mixed blk girls, Hispanic definetely there.

At first sight (dark angel, idle hands, sleeping dictionary), I thought she was certainly part Dutch or partly Danish.

Along with also being partly Spanish, Colombian, or Italian. Portuguese maybe.

I couldn't quite narrow it down obviously. LOL.

you can definitely tell she has mad mixes..i was thinking a tiny bit of asian but im like way off

Jessica talks about trying to get past the race issue!

Modern technology also enables comic-book purists to complain about the casting of their favourite characters on the Internet.

"Didn't they have resistance to Tobey Maguire playing Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine?" Alba says. "They don't like anything until they see it."

But some complaints about the half-Hispanic actress playing white-bread Sue Storm have a different tone.

"I guess everyone believes that race is something we talk about, but it isn't," Alba says with a shrug. "I'm half Mexican-American and half Caucasian, and I have blue eyes and blond hair in the movie, wear contacts and whatever. We recreated it exactly."

An Air Force brat, Alba lived in various parts of the United States before her family settled in Southern California. She began her career at the age of 12, and although she admits that she faced her share of stereotyping, the kid actress landed a healthy variety of film, commercial and television work.

That's where she learned to scuba dive, a passion that made this year's third movie release feel like a paid water-sports vacation.

"It was fun," she says of Into the Blue, which spices up its tanned-flesh basics with some cocaine-smuggling intrigue "I play a shark wrangler and I'm terrified of sharks, so I got to play a character against type. I've made an effort since Dark Angel to never play the same character twice. And this character Sam has moved to the Bahamas, lives a very simple life in a trailer, and just wants to study sharks and live with her boyfriend and just be at peace."

Great work if you can get it. Like making movies, regardless of all the side issues that come with the job.

"If you kind of keep yourself open to things happening, they'll happen," the busy actress says. "I've been really focused since I started acting at 12, believe it or not. I just this year sort of relaxed and began to think, okay, I think I'll get another job. So I've been really hustling and really fighting and really struggling and trying to get people not to put me in one box or another and to not say, 'Oh, she's a Latina actress,' 'She's a white actress,' 'She's a this actress,' 'She's a that actress,' and just be an actress that's a chameleon."
