At this stage of her career, she often received roles as seductive beauties, and this image became firmly associated with Jessica, becoming her trademark. Over more than 30 years in the film industry, Alba has played around 50 roles in various films and series.

Public Activity and Business Breakthrough

Just three years later, the company's value exceeded one billion dollars.
