Jennifer Lopez's Acting Roots
Jennifer Lopez got her big break in '91 when she was cast as a "Fly Girl" dancer on the TV show
In Living Color. In 1995 Jennifer Lopez did two movies,
Mi Familia and
Money Train, but it was '97's
Selena that made her a star. Jennifer Lopez's Latino heritage made her perfect for the part and directors began to take notice of her acting ability. The story was a
biography of Latino singing sensation
Selena who was murdered by a crazed fan. Jennifer Lopez has since appeared in
Anaconda,
Blood and Wine, U-Turn and Out of Sight with George Clooney. Since then J.Lo has starred in a ton of flicks, including Enough,
The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan, Gigli (with on-again, off-again finace,
Ben Affleck) and Jersey Girl.
Jennifer Lopez - Pop Icon
In 1999 Jennifer Lopez released her first album
On the 6 named after the subway train that links
Manhattan and the Bronx. The album was a great success with the help of chart-toppers like
If You Had My Love and Waiting For Tonight. If Jennifer Lopez wasn't already a household name, she certainly was when she released her CD
J.Lo, which included hits like
Love Don't Cost A Thing. J.Lo's latest album,
This Is Me...Then, reassures fans that although Jenniefer Lopez is a huge star, at heart she is still
Jenny From the Block.
