Jessica Biel was born on March 3, 1982 in Ely, Minnesota to her mother who was a spiritual healer / homemaker and her father who was a hard-working entrepreneur and business consultant.  During her ealry childhood moving around became a frequent occurrence and before her tenth birthday she had already lived in Texas, Connecticut, Illinois, and Colorado.  The family would eventually settle down permanently in Boulder, Colorado where Jessica grew up.

During these early years Jessica loved to play soccer and would even do gymnastic training.  By the age of 9 however, Jessica Biel began singing, and singing really well.  She had played leading roles in some big name plays like Beauty and The Beast, Annie, and The Sound of Music.

A big break in the rising stars career was when she was 12 years old and Biel attended The International Modeling and Talent Association conference in Los Angeles, where she was heavily scouted by modeling and talent agencies.  After two years of many auditions and showcases, Biel was selected as the 2nd oldest child (Mary Camden) in the soon to be hit show 7th Heaven.

Jessica Biel was front and center on mainstream television on 7th Heaven from seasons 1-8 and recurring again for season 10.  This total span of time with 7th Heaven lasted from 1996 until 2006, right before the show stopped airing.  This is definitely a huge stepping stone for Jessica Biel as she then went on to star in many more shows and even motion pictures.

Without missing a beat in 1997 after the discontinuing of 7th Heaven, Biel hit the ground running and landed a significant role as Peter Fonda’s granddaughter in the film Ulee’s Gold.

Since the first movie, Jessica Biel has gone on to be cast and lead in many more films.  A full list of Jessica Biel’s filmography from Wikipedia is below:
