Jennifer Lopez was born in New York City, on July 24, 1969. The daughter of David, a computer programmer, and Guadalupe, a kindergarten teacher, the young Lopez always dreamed of becoming a performer.
With talents in singing and dancing, Jennifer began performing in stage musicals, dancing in a European tour of Golden Musicals of Broadway, a Japanese tour of Synchronicity and local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Why Is She Famous?
Jennifer Lopez got her big start on the TV comedy hit In Living Color as a Fly Girl, but bigger and better things were on the horizon for J. Lo as she moved onto the silver screen with blockbuster flicks like Selena (1997) and Monster-in-Law (2005). And before we could say, "Hey, who's that hot Puerto Rican chick?" Jennifer released hit album after hit album. Is there anything this girl can't do?
Success
Her performance in Selena didn't only launch her career, it garnered her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in 1998. Unlike many other actresses who need a collection of no-name movies to their credit to finally break through in a blockbuster, most of her movie roles have brand-name recognition.
As for her recording career, who knew that she would become one of the most bankable artists in Sony Music history? Her debut album On the 6 went platinum after two months. When her follow-up album, J.Lo, was released, she became the first female artist to have a No. 1 album and a No. 1 film (The Wedding Planner) in the same week.
On the business front, she has launched two successful clothing lines, JLO by Jennifer Lopez and Sweetface, a collection of fragrances and a Cuban restaurant called Madre's (which closed in July 2008).
We can go on and on about her accomplishments, but we'll sum it up by saying that she'll need to add an extension to her house just to make room for all her money.
Sexiness
Jennifer Lopez is about as sexy as any woman can naturally be. Considering that she hasn't had any work done (well, none that we know of), we have to admit that she's a smokin' Latin lady. With her olive skin, sparkling eyes, tantalizing curves, and infamous rear, it's no wonder we love drooling over J. Lo.
And since establishing her own clothing line, JLO, it seems like women worldwide want to be just like Jenny. That's certainly not a problem for us.
