DEAR STACY: Curious to know whether my friend is right, that Jessica Alba played the young teenage daughter on a "Flipper" remake years ago. — Barbara G., Winnetka, Illinois

Alba started out in show business early on as the star of "Camp Nowhere," "The Secret World of Alex Mac" and the 1995 version of dolphin-centric "Flipper" television series before finding grownup fame as the star of James Cameron's "Dark Angel" series of 2000-2002. She graduated high school at 16 and went on to compile credits including "Sin City" and "Fantastic Four."

DEAR STACY: Whatever became of the actor who played Biff in the "Back the Future" movies? — Grego5

DEAR GREGO5: Though his many, varied other roles may not be as indelible as bully Biff, actor Tom Wilson works all the time. He's guested on numerous shows, and appeared as a recurring character on "Ed," "Freaks and Geeks," "Titus" and "Fired Up," to name a few. He also does a lot of voice work in television and in movies including the "Spongebob Squarepants" movie. Wilson's also a lover of the stage, as an actor and as a comic. And the multitalented Wilson is also an acclaimed artist. Check out his TomWilsonUSA website to see samples.
