Profile: Jennifer Lopez
Born July 24, 1970, in Bronx, New York, Jennifer is a superstar
singer, actress and performer. Jennifer is the middle child of three girls,
and grew up in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx. Her father is a computer-operations
manager, and her mother, a kindergarten teacher. Jennifer had her heart set
on showbiz from an early age, and began performing in stage musicals. Upon
graduation in 1987 from Preston High School, Jennifer attended Baruch College
in New York City, but dropped out after one semester. Later, when she read
about a scholarship to a dance school in Manhattan, she jumped at the opportunity.
Jennifer then landed a role dancing as one of "The Fly Girls" on
a production of "In Living Color". This production was a multicultural
dance troupe known as much for their aggressive hip-hop routines as for their
sexy good looks. Her talents were enhanced by Rosie Perez a choreographer,
who helped her land her secure a role on the the CBS TV series "Second
Chances". This series didn't last, but it did lead to her feature film
debut "Mi Familia". Subsequently, she gained ground in her next
film, "The Money Train", with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.
Jennifer's next role as Selena, would launch her into the public eye, with
her dancing and vocal talent. This led to Jennifer being picked as one of
People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People. A few more major roles followed
with the modern film "Blood and Wine" and "U-Turn", which
secured her star status. In 1998, Jennifer proved that she could hold her
own against a powerful leading man when she stared opposite George Clooney
in "Out of Sight". Jennifer is the only Latin actress in history
to demand a $1 million salary. When she released her album entitled "On
the 6", the album was so well received that it bumped Ricky Martin from
the top of the charts. Jennifer often receives more attention for two things,
her behind, and her relationship with controversial Sean "Puffy"
Combs.
