Jessica scared of Broadway debut    ·    January 18th, 2008

Jessica Alba is scared that she will be panned by critics when she makes her Broadway debut later in 2008.

Alba will star in David Mamet’s latest edition of the “Speed-the-Plow.” The play is a satirical dissection of the American movie business - debating art versus money.

Alba, who plays Karen (a starlet), is not sure whether she will be able to handle bad press if there is any. She says: “Whether I do a good job or not, people will be nasty. Even Claire Danes, who’s a respected actress, got s**t. I don’t know if I feel like being ridiculed like that.”
