Has Jessica Alba been overcompensating due to a fear of failure in Hollywood ?

Covering the September issue of Cosmopolitan, the leading actress admits to having a fear of failure so intense that she ends up overcompensating.

"I was always insecure about belonging and felt that my success was probably going to go away, so I've overcompensated," Alba tells Cosmo.

Alba is just one of several leading actresses who cover September issues of magazines including Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and Elle. Academy Award winner Halle Berry is among the line of up actresses. She covers Vogue's over 700 page issue discussing her love life, motherhood and career to date.
