"When
I'm not prepared, which is almost never."
-when asked if she ever feels insecure |
|
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 ***.
