Some might say it's an unusual thing to do while pregnant with your first child.

But clearly Jessica Alba is prepared to put aside her personal feelings for her art, as the actress took on the iconic roles of horror movie heroines Rosemary's Baby star Mia Farrow, and Psycho's Janet Leigh for a magazine photoshoot.

The photo shoot for Latina magazine saw the 26-year old star of horror movie The Eye pick her top five horror films and recreate the iconic scenes.

Psycho, Scream, Exorcist, The Birds and Rosemary's Baby were all shot with Jessica in place of the original actors.

With the help of professional hair and make-up artists, Jessica is made to look uncannily like the female stars of the films, paying tribute to among others; Tippi Hedren in Hitchcock classic The Birds, and Janet Leigh in Psycho.

In the 1976 Roman Polanski film, Mia Farrow famously gave birth to a baby which she later discovered to be the son of Satan.

The self-professed horror movie fan recently revealed she once took a date to watch horror movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - so she could cuddle up to him in fear.

Canny Jessica said watching a scary film in the cinema is the best way to get intimate with a new love.

The actress who is pregnant with her fiance Cash Warren's baby, said: "When you're just starting to get used to the opposite sex, it's a great icebreaker".

In her interview with Latina, she takes the opportunity to address critics who say she does not acknowledge her Latin roots.

Cover star: Jessica is due to give birth in late spring/early summer and is engaged to the baby's father Cash Warren

She said: "I always took pride in being Latina, it's something I always embraced.

"But when I got shunned, it made me feel really bad, like maybe I'm not."

Asked if she wants to speak Spanish, she said: "Yeah - hell yeah!"

She added: "I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn't grow up with it."

She revealed that she is already taking lessons, and has considered making "a move to a country for three months" to immerse herself in the language.

Jessica is due to give birth to her first child in late spring, early summer after announcing her pregnancy last December.

She has been with 28 year-old director's assistant Cash Warren since 2004 after the couple met on the set of film The Fantastic Four, on which Warren was a director's assistant.
