By the time she was four, Brandy Norwood's parents had moved the family from Mississippi to Los Angeles, in hopes of jump-starting careers for their daughter and son, Willie 'Ray J' Jr, then two.

A longtime favorite of frat boys and fan-boys alike, actress Jessica Alba started out in commercials before graduating to the small screen.
