Mini Biography :
» Actress and pop singer. Born July
24, 1970, in the Bronx, New York.
Lopez began her career as a dancer,
appearing in stage musicals and
various music videos. In 1990, she
won a national competition and
earned a spot dancing on the popular
Fox comedy television series, “In
Living Color,” as one of the “Fly
Girls.” A series of small acting
jobs followed, including parts in
two more series and a TV movie,
Nurses on the Line: The Crash of
Flight 7, in 1993. Lopez’s first
feature film was the critically
acclaimed Mi Familia, or My Family,
in 1995. She also appeared in Money
Train (1995), opposite Wesley Snipes
and Woody Harrelson, and in Jack
(1996), directed by Francis Ford
Coppola and starring Robin Williams.
» Lopez’s first big break came in
1997, when she was chosen to play
the title role in Selena, a biopic
of the Tejano pop singer Selena
Quintillana Perez, who was killed by
a crazed fan in 1995. She earned
widespread praise for her
performance, including a Golden
Globe nomination, and became the
highest-paid Latina actress in
history with her paycheck of $1
million. That same year, Lopez
starred in the forgettable Anaconda
and in Blood and Wine, opposite Jack
Nicholson. Her role as federal
marshal Karen Sisco in Steven
Soderbergh’s Out of Sight, a film
based on the Elmore Leonard novel
and co-starring George Clooney,
further enhanced her image as a
bankable movie star.
» Lopez’s musical career also began
to take off, as she released her
debut Latin pop album, On the 6 in
June 1999. The album, fueled by the
success of her hit single, “If You
Had My Love,” went platinum within
two weeks, making Lopez—along with
Ricky Martin—one of the most
influential examples of the growing
Latin cultural influence in pop
music.
» Early in 2000, Lopez was nominated
for Best Dance Performance for her
second hit single "Waiting for
Tonight," but lost the award to
veteran diva Cher. In the summer of
2000, she starred in the science
fiction-thriller The Cell, in which
she plays a child psychologist
helping to track a terrifying serial
killer. The same year, she starred
in Enough, a portrayal of spousal
abuse.
» The popularity of the
multi-talented Lopez reached new
heights in early 2001, when her
album, J. Lo debuted at No. 1 on the
pop charts, while her film, the
romantic comedy The Wedding Planner,
shot to the top spot at the box
office in its first week of release.
In December 2002, she performed
another one-two punch with the
release of the record This Is Me ...
Then and a starring role in the
comedy Maid in Manhattan, which was
a box office hit, if not a critical
one. In 2003, she co-starred with
Ben Affleck in the box office bomb,
Gigli. Upcoming projects include
Jersey Girl (also with Affleck) and
An Unfinished Life, in which she
plays a single mom taken in by her
father-in-law played by Robert
Redford. She is also set to star
opposite Richard Gere in Shall We
Dance?, a remake of the top-grossing
Japanese flick.
» Lopez was briefly married, in
1997, to Ojani Noa, a model and
actor. She then had a lengthy and
widely publicized relationship with
rapper Sean “Puffy” Combs. In
December 1999, Combs and Lopez were
allegedly involved in a shooting
incident outside a New York City
nightclub, in which three people
were injured. Combs was later
charged with gun possession and
bribery, as prosecutors claimed he
offered his driver, Wardel Fenderson,
$50,000 to say that the loaded gun
police found at the scene of the
crime was Fenderson's. He was
acquitted of all charges, but Combs
confirmed in mid-February that he
and Lopez had separated.
» Shortly after her breakup from
Combs was made public, Lopez began
dating Cris Judd, a dancer who
appeared in the video for her hit
single "Love Don't Cost a Thing."
After much media speculation, the
couple announced their engagement in
August 2001. They were married in
late September. Nine months later,
the couple separated. In the fall of
2002, the star began dating actor
Ben Affleck; they announced their
engagement in November. Following
rumors of the relationship's demise,
the couple broke up in early 2004.
Lopez subsequently married singer
Marc Anthony in June 2004 at a
private ceremony at her Los Angeles
mansion.
