Alba
began her television and movie appearances at age 13 in Camp Nowhere and The

sells non-toxic household products, and owns 15 to 20 percent of the company.
Alba
was raised as a Catholic throughout her teenage years, but left the church
after four years because she felt she was being judged for her appearance,
explaining:
"Older
men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing
provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any
way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed
of my body and being a woman".
