Jennifer
first hit the main stream spotlight when she played the
lead role in the movie Selena which earned her
a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination.
At a young age always knew she wanted to be a performer, she
began her career as a dancer in stage musicals and few
music videos. However, it wasn't until she was chosen
as a "fly girl" dancer for Fox's In Livin Color that
she got a taste of Hollywood.
After a few seasons of In Livin Color, Jennifer
decided she wanted to make change to give acting a try.
She did a few television shows and her first film in 1995
title Mi Familia. She followed up with the films
Jack and Money Train, however it wasn't
until she appeared in the film Selena that Hollywood
started to take notice of her acting abilities. Since
her role in Selena she has also appeared in such movies
as Anaconda, Out of Sight,
The
Cell, The
Wedding Planner, Angel
Eyes , Enough
, Maid
in Manhattan, Jersey
Girl,
and Shall
we Dance,
a beautiful film that had Jennifer playing a soft and
charming character, she showed a much gentler sweet side
of her than any of her previous films and it came across
the screen very well. This film was one her first movies
to show off her dancing talents. She took sultry dances
with beautiful smooth fluid moves, but yet moved across
the screen in a very wholesome and sweet way. Jennifer
showed a soft side to her acting and dancing to which
not over shadow co-star Richard Gear, and that showed
how much she has progressed as a talented actress. After
working with Richard Gear on Shall
we Dance,
she then went on to do the film hit Monster-in-Law
which she co-stared hollywood icon
Jane Fonda.
Her
film last summer was El
Cantante.
It was a personal project for Jennifer as a producer.
Its a film about the legendary salsa singer Hector Lavoe.
She is hoping the film will do for salsa as the movie
Walk The Line did for the music of Johnny Cash. She also
co-star in the movie along side husban Mark Anthony. El
Cantane has taken five to six years to complete, it's
a movie that Jennifer and her husban wanted to take the
time capture of sound and feel of salsa music.
However, acting is not the only thing Jennifer has going
on with her life. She has also been very busy musically
since the launch of her 5x platinum Latin music pop
album On the 6th released in June 1999.
A couple years later in July of 2001, Jennifer followed
the success of On the 6th with her second Cd
titled J.LO, which also spawned some number one
equally impressive hits. Her 3rd music CD titled wasThis
is Me..Then. Her forth album title REBIRTH
was released march 1 2005.
Jennifer
released her first Spanish-language album last May title
Como Ama Una Mujer. Growing up as a child Jennifer
never spoke spanish. She began to learn spanish for
the movie Selena, and she is very proud of her spanish
only album.
Jennifer has been keeping busy, not only with her music
career but she has launched two clothing lines, Jlo and
Sweetface, which grossed $400 million last year. Her perfume
fragrances Glow and Miami Glow reportedly earned $150
million last year.
All
of these movies, music cds, clothing lines, perfume fragrances,
fashion shoots,and many more projects in the works.
So
here we have a superstar, a singer, an actress, a covermodel,
spokesmodel for
L'oreal
cosmetics,
clothing designer, and producer.
