Jennifer Lopez


Jennifer Lopez was born to the couple of David a computer operations specialist and Guadalupe, a kindergarten teacher in The Bronx, New York. She has two older sisters - Lynda and Leslie. She has got a Latin look because her parents came from Puerto Rico in the South America. Jennifer Lopez had to go through many hardships before reaching a certain place. She started her career only as a dancer and performed in stage musicals and thus toured Europe and Japan when she was a teen. Her first appearance in movie was in 1986 in 'My Little Girl'. As an actress her first major appearance was in the movie 'Money Train' but the real breakthrough came later. She portrayed the tragically killed musician Selena Quintanilla Perez in the movie 'Selena' in 1997. This film had a huge impact in her life. On Oct 28, 1996 in San Antonio at the movie party for Selena an interesting incident happened. Jennifer's boyfriend Ojani Noa got a microphone in her hand and proposed her in the middle of the dance floor and also presented her a large marquis-cut diamond ring. She accepted his proposal with a cute smile. Later in 1997 she appeared in big movies like 'Blood and Wine', 'Anaconda' and 'U Turn'. The same year she was named as one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People. She was also nominated for the Golden Globe Best Actress Nomination for her role in 'Selena'. Her tremendous role in 'Selena' fetched her many films like 'Out Of Sight' in 1998, 'Antz' in 1998 (only voice) and 'Thieves' in 1999. Then films like 'The Wedding Planner', 'Pluto Nash', 'Angel Eyes' and 'The Cell' got released. Later she went to Manhattan to learn about dancing and used to sleep in the studio after finishing her practice. Within some weeks of the release of her debut album 'On The 6', it won the hearts of everyone. For this Lopez got the nomination for four MTV music awards. Lopez's music video 'If You Had My Love' helped her win the Billboard Pop Clip Of The Year award. The song 'Waiting For Tonight' was also nominated for Grammy awards. Later she got another nomination for 'Brit Awards 2000 Best International Newcomer' and for the 'Best International Solo Artist titles' as well. As far her personal life goes at the age of 15 Jennifer Lopez was engaged with David Cruz who was the best looking guy in her neighbor. Her one negative aspect of life came to the focus when she was jailed alongside rap artist Sean Combs for keeping an illegal gun. She was given the name 'La Guitarra' in the gyms because her body had the shape of a perfect guitar. She is called 'The Supernova' in her local place Bronx and fans nicknamed her 'J LO'... Up till now she has achieved a lot but the best is yet to arrive.
