 Jennifer
Lopez sees the light of the day in Castle Hill area of New York's
Bronx on the 24th of July, 1970 and grows up in Blackrock Avenue.
Her father David is a computer technician and her mother Guadalupe
works as a teacher in a kinder garden, somewhere in Westchester County.
Jennifer has two sisters:Lynda (a DJ, VJ and entertainment reporter)
and Leslie (now a housewife and opera singer). In order to keep her
children away from the street life, Guadalupe incites them to deal
with Arts: dancing, drawing, acting. Salsa and merengue are the favourite
dances of the family whose roots belong to Puerto Rico. The three
girls grow up with the thriving ambition to turn into celebrities
- they watch numerous movies such as West Side Story, that have an
enormous impact on them. Jennifer indulges in dancing and singing
when being just 5. At 8, she enrols in: Catholic Holy Family high
school in the Bronx. Four hard-working dancing years follow before
she moves to Preston High School. There Jay shows her worth as athlete,
pursuing softball, tennis, gymnastics and track events. She grows
up with R&B and the new electro and hip-hop culture, pretty popular
at that time. Jennifer is 15, when she starts dating the cutest boy
of the suburb: David Cruz. They date in the course of 9 years. Two
years earlier, she has the bad luck or rather the luck to get off
lightly from a terrific accident. Jennifer escapes the catastrophe
with fright and smashed nose. At 16, she gets her first role: Myra
in Connie Kaiserman's My Little Girl. This appearance, however, is
not the one to open her the door to the great career of a star. It
rather gives her experience and helps her take a look at the hardships
of reality lying ahead of her. She enrols in Baruch College in Manhattan
and in harmony with that, she earns her living at a law office, while
keeping on dancing at night. Because of the numerous occupations and
activities she goes in for, Jennifer stays only one semester at the
college. Her mother, however, does not give in and continues to support her daughter in her showbusiness-pursuing initiatives. Jennifer moves to the building where she has won scholarship to study dance - for a short period of time. She makes short appearances in musicals, in local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar. Jennifer's hopes for breakthrough and success are completely shattered when she fails at the casting for dancers for the Wayans brothers' comedy show, In Living Color. Jennifer feels everything has fallen to pieces - she is on the verge of despair. Fortunately, she has the good luck to be approved of by the Japanese tour of choreographer Hinton Battle's Synchronicity. After her comeback from the tour, she gets a phone call from Hollywood, confirming her admission to Living Color and she is offered to join Flygirls, the dance group whose routines open and close the show, choreographed by Rosie Perez. Her travel to West coast does not satisfy her. She finds the atmosphere unbearable, her sole relief comes when her boyfriend settles with her there. In 1994, however, their relationship comes to an end, after he decides to return to Bronx, in order to initiate a dry-cleaning business. This is definitely not the life, that Jennifer wants and they split. Living Color is a real hit - a real plunge-board for rising stars such as: Wayans brothers, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and Chris Rock. While working with Perez - the choreographer, Jennifer gains great experience: experience and love for performance and acting. Thanks to Keenan Ivory Wayans, she stays in the show for two years - quite enough to reach professional confidence and material safety. Later, she quits the group, taking part in numerous video clips as the most memorable one is: Janet Jackson's That's The Way Loves Goes. Jennifer appears in The Crash Of Flight 7, starring Lindsay Wagner and Robert Loggia, where she plays heroic nurse Rosie Romero. Next, she takes part in three TV series that prove quite successful: Second Chances followed by South Central and Mosley family . In 90's that bring a fundamentally different lifestyle, she appears in her first blockbuster co-starring two celebrities: Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes - whom her ex-choreographer Rosie Perez partners in White Men Can't Jump some. Money Train is her debut. The movie itself is nothing outstanding, according to critics, but represents a significant step in her career.Later, she plays another emblematic role in: Jack - a movie by Francis Ford Coppola, where she partners Robin Williams.Although this movie does not copy the success of the previous one, she keep on acting: with Jack Nicholson in Blood And Wine. Later she gets her first leading role in Since My Family. This brings her the fully-deserved Golden Globe nomination. In February, 1997 she marries to Ojani Noa, who offers her marriage in an exclusively romantic way. Jennifer's movie career evolves headlong - she takes part in a horror: Anaconda, co-starring Jon Voight. U-Turn is another movie featuring her, there she lives though a love story with Sean Penn's character. Later Jay partners with another great Hollywood- George Clooney.Out Of Sight paves her path to the Oscars. She has the equal success on the music stage performing in Puff Daddy's Been Around The World video, and co-singing with Latin star Marc Anthony on his Te Conosco Bien. Movies starring her grow in terms of value and audience: The Wedding Planner is a romantic comedy, where she personifies a wedding agent, who falls in love with the customer and they live through the impediments of separation and the initially impossible love together. Angel Eyes - she is a police woman, who saves a man from an accident. Her eyes are the only thing that the injured keeps in memory since then. Later, she responds to his love and will open another page in his life. Personally, Jay Lo lives through a long relationship with Ben Afflec, whom she plans to marry to. Later, however, they split (without reaching a marriage) and she finds consolation in the company of the singer Mark Anthony, whom she intends to get married to. But impediments block the way again - to embitter the well-being of the popular actress and singer. Her beloved cannot get divorced with his wife, for the laws in the country that the marriage took place in, don't allow him to enter a marriage with another woman before getting divorced. They are both looking forward to the moment when legal impediments will cease standing on their way to their peaceful co-existence. |
