jessica-alba-lat.jpgThe career-long battle between Jessica Alba”s artistic ambition and the typecast-inviting good looks she knows are preventing her from becoming a Serious Actress rages on, with Alba once again issuing a public plea for someone, anyone to hand her some ugly-making prosthetics–a crooked nose, a suppurating sore, five extra eyes, whatever–and trust her to deliver their passion project to Oscar glory: “Most of all, Alba, who admires Charlize Theron”s Oscar-winning transformation in Monster, wants to be seen as a multifaceted actress who can take on any role. “I”m not really attached to my appearance,” she confesses. “I know I can get dressed up and look like something. But what”s more of a challenge is someone allowing you to play that role and letting you go there — having a director and writers believe in you. To do something where I got to just concentrate on the performance and discover, that”s the ultimate, as far as I”m concerned.”" [LAT]
