JENNIFER LOPEZ

Jennifer Lopez is one of only a few celebrities who has effectively mixed a music and film career. She became the first Hispanic celebrity to gain more than $1 million per film. Lopez began her career as a Fly Girl on the hit variety show In Living Color, where she rose from performer to best-selling recording artist. She then made her name in the biopic Selena, but her onscreen dynamic in Out of Sight launched her into a certain degree of fame.

Her first hit, If You Had My Love, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1999, cultivating a secure, expressive style. With her second album, J.Lo, and her lead role in The Wedding Planner, Lopez became the first female star to top the music charts and the critical acclaim in the same week. The singer, fascinated with fashion and beauty products, unveiled a fashion and beauty line. At 51, Lopez defined herself as a multifaceted force to reckon with and one of the wealthiest and most prominent Latina performers of all time.
