Jennifer Lopez

And it is that it has an exotic charm that few show stars are in a position to emulate. Her talent for singing and waddling is admired in cities of all latitudes and she has managed to be the highest paid Latina actress in the cinema. It is true that her controversy has haunted her frequently, when she was not because of a failed romance, she was because of a film trampled with excessive fury. But she, meanwhile, to the block, that is, to burst the box office and the best-selling record lists.

Despite the color of her skin, Jennifer Lynn López has been an American since her earliest childhood. She was born in New York on July 24, 1969, although yes, her cocoa complexion comes from the origin of her parents, emigrants from Puerto Rico. The family is made up of two other sisters, Leslie and Lynda. Very soon, at the age of five, little Jenni began to receive singing and dancing classes (we don’t know who taught her, but a monument should be built to the best teacher). And that moving around the stage must have really caught her, because López dropped out of school and debuted with a small adolescent role in the film My Little Girl (1986). Already determined to make a career in the cinema, she left home and demonstrated her ease of movement by playing a dancer in the television series InLiving Color (2000), which was a huge success. Later he played brief roles in different serials, among which Hotel Malibu or South Central stand out , both from 1994, but the following year he returned to the cinema through the front door thanks to the fantastic drama My Family (1995), directed by Gregory Nava . That same year, he would accompany Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in the successful Robbery of the Money Train , and then he would share the bill with the great Jack Nicholson in Blood and Wine .

His takeoff came with his first starring role. The biopic Selena (1997) gave her the opportunity to shine again with her voice and her body. The critics were enthusiastic and she was nominated for a Golden Globe. However, she immediately changed register and signed up for darker and hectic films: she started with Anaconda and with the failed Giro al infierno , both from 1997, but the big hit came with A very dangerous romance , thriller that starred with George Clooney . Both became media stars thanks to this film directed by Steven Soderbergh , where more than just sparks flew between them.

But the queen of the party was yet to arrive, the pop star, the Jennifer López who has conquered the dance floors. She recorded her first album in 1999, ‘On the 6,’ and songs like “Waiting For Tonight” or “If You Had My Love” have become nighttime classics. So far she has released two more albums, where her beautiful voice and her danceable and catchy songs have achieved overwhelming success. In any case, she is mainly an actress and in recent times she has demonstrated this with a good handful of highly-received films. It is true that J. What wins over the public is not the brave woman in The Cell (2000) or Nunca más (2002), but the romantic girl, with a radiant smile and explosive naturalness in front of the camera. This is how we saw it in Wedding Plans(2001), together with Matthew McConaughey , in Mirada de ángel (2001), with Jim Caviezel , or in the recently starring Richard Gere , shall we dance? In any case, the life of this diva has not been easy: she has already gone through two divorces, which we find difficult to bear, and, already on another plane, critics have enjoyed attacking the movies she has filmed with her ex. Ben Affleck : A Dangerous Liaison (2003), for which he even received the Razzie Award for Worst Actress of the Year, and A Girl from Jersey (2004). But she’s a star, and she has to deal with all the consequences. We look forward to seeing you atThe groom’s mother , a romantic comedy that will also feature the reappearance in the cinema of Jane Fonda , after fifteen years of absence.
