Jennifer Lopez Born July 24, 1969, in Castle Hill "Bronx", New York, Jennifer Lopez began her career as a dancer, appearing in stage musicals and various music videos. In 1990, Jennifer Lopez won a national competition and earned a spot dancing on the popular Fox comedy television series, "In Living Color," as one of the "Fly Girls." A series of small acting jobs followed, including parts in two more series and a TV movie,
Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7, in 1993. Jennifer Lopez's first feature film was the critically acclaimed
Mi Familia, or
My Family, in 1995. Jennifer Lopez also appeared in
Money Train (1995), opposite Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, and in
Jack (1996), directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Robin Williams.
Jennifer Lopez's first big break came in 1997, when Jennifer Lopez was chosen to play the title role in
Selena, a biopic of the Tejano pop singer Selena Quintillana Perez, who was killed by a crazed fan in 1995. Jennifer Lopez earned widespread praise for her performance, including a Golden Globe nomination, and became the highest-paid actress in history with her paycheck of $1 million. That same year, Jennifer Lopez starred in the forgettable
Anaconda and in
Blood and Wine, opposite Jack Nicholson. Jennifer Lopez role as federal marshal Karen Sisco in Steven Soderbergh's
Out of Sight, a film based on the Elmore Leonard novel and co-starring George Clooney, further enhanced her image as a bankable movie star.
Jennifer Lopez's musical career also began to take off, as she released her debut Latin pop album,
On the 6 in June 1999. The album, fueled by the success of her hit single, "If You Had My Love," went platinum within two weeks, making Jennifer Lopez—along with Ricky Martin—one of the most influential examples of the growing Latin cultural influence in pop music.
Early in 2000, Jennifer Lopez was nominated for Best Dance Performance for her second hit single "Waiting for Tonight," but lost the award to veteran diva Cher. In the summer of 2000, Jennifer Lopez starred in the science fiction-thriller
The Cell, in which she plays a child psychologist helping to track a terrifying serial killer. The same year, Jennifer Lopez starred in
Enough, a portrayal of spousal abuse.
The popularity of the multi-talented Lopez reached new heights in early 2001, when her album,
J. Lo debuted at No. 1 on the pop charts, while her film, the romantic comedy
The Wedding Planner, shot to the top spot at the box office in its first week of release. In December 2002, Jennifer Lopez performed another one-two punch with the release of the record
This Is Me ... Then and a starring role in the comedy
Maid in Manhattan, which was a box office hit, if not a critical one. In 2003, Jennifer Lopez co-starred with Ben Affleck in the box office bomb,
Gigli. Other projects included
Jersey Girl (also with Affleck) and
An Unfinished Life, in which Jennifer Lopez played a single mom taken in by her father-in-law played by Robert Redford. Jennifer Lopez also starred opposite Richard Gere in
Shall We Dance?, a remake of the top-grossing Japanese flick.
