January 1998 issue of Teen (She was this months cover girl!)

              This months cover girl Jessica (Jessie to freinds) Biel, 
15, is a study in contradictions. A natural beauty, she began
 posing professionallywhen she was 12 after begin discovered 
at a modeling convention. Despite her glam life, she professes
 to wear very little makeup when she's off the set of her popula
r TV show 7th Heaven.
               Even though she hangs with babelicious Andrew
 Keegan who played her boyfreind on the show, it's strictly a  
buddy-buddy thang. "We play football all the time and work 
out together," she says. The football they play with is her 
good-luck charm. "It goes everywhere with me," she says,
 "It's been through so much mud and everything -- it's
 comforting."  
              In addition to football, she dabble in just about every
 sport imaginable, basketball, hockey, swimming and is on 
an organized soccer team. She even shops for clothes a
 sporting good stores!
            A couple years from now, Jessica sees herself starring 
in feature films. But if she never acted agian, she'd "just go and
 be a doctor or something," she says. "I have to be doing 
something. I love to be busy."
