Jessica Biel

Jessica Claire Biel (born March 3 1982 in Ely, Minnesota), is an American actress, best known as Mary Camden on the television drama 7th Heaven from 1996 to 2002.

Controversy

In 2000, Jessica posed topless in a layout of Gear magazine. It was controversial because she was only 17 at the time of the shoot. Her frustration and fear about being typecast was one of the reasons that led to her decision. She blamed her saintly image on 7th Heaven for limiting her film career, including losing a lead role in American Beauty which eventually went to Thora Birch. Jessica also hoped that by posing she would get out of her 7th Heaven contract, which she accomplished. She later said she regretted posing for the magazine and regards it as a learning experience.
