In
1998 her career exploded - both in music and in
film. Jennifer Lopez was born right in the middle
of the Bronx. She lived in the section they refer
to as "Castle Hill," and being in the Bronx she
had to take the 6 train to get to Manhattan for
work, hence the name of her first album, "On the
Six." Her parents are David Lopez, a computer specialist
at Guardian Insurance, and her mother, a schoolteacher
in New York. Both parents are from Puerto Rico,
but raised Jennifer here in the United States. Jennifer
has two sisters, Maria and Linda (an Entertainment
Correspondent for WB Network in New York). As Jennifer
grew up, her body began to take the shape that is
now world renknown. She was known as "La Guitarra"
(Spanish for "The Guitar") because of the way her
body shaped. Her big break, however came in 1997,
when she became the highest paid Latina movie star
ever, bringing in a reported 1 million dollars for
"Selena," the film portrayal of Salsa sensation
Selena, who was murdered by the president of her
fan club. From there, it was pretty much downhill.
1997's
"Anaconda," despite a ridiculous plot and a horrible
critical review, had huge success at the box office.
"U-Turn," an Oliver Stone film, was a critical darling
and propelled the legitimacy of Lopez's career.
1998's "Out of Sight" is what really established
Jennifer as one of Hollywood's premiere actresses.
Her performance in the film was highly touted and
certainly showed Lopez's ability to hold her own
and her sharp timing. From there, "The Cell," "The
Wedding Planner," and "Angel Eyes," all starred
Jennifer and furthered her career. Lately her romantic
life has been downhill. She has had two bad marraiges
and her relationship with Puff Daddy has popped,
much like Puff Daddies carreer. Make a new hit record,
you lazy ***. |
