The most highly paid actress of all time.

Born on July 24, 1970 in Bronx in a family of immigrants from Puerto Rico. Her father, David worked as a computer technician, mother - a kindergarten teacher. Her parents were Europeans, but the hot climate of Latin America seemed to them far more attractive. As a result, hot parental genes did their job. Jen's older sister, Leslie, a housewife who spends time singing in opera, while her younger sister Linda is a DJ at New York radio station WKTU, and in addition has a morning news show on channel 11. But the most successful daughter is Jennifer!

J. Lo began taking singing lessons and dancing from 5 years old, played in children's musical performances. During 12 years of apprenticeship in the Catholic school she was active in sports - tennis and gymnastics. After high school, Jennifer was working for a short time in a legal office, not stopping to take lessons in dancing school. At the age of 18 Lopez decided to lead an independent life - she left home after a scandal with her parents. They were against her decision to dedicate life to show business.

It is not hard to guess where Lopez fleed - naturally, to Los Angeles, Mecca of all talented beginners, dreaming of career of a star. Lopez began to participate in show-biz performances and contests for dancers, a series of television comedy skits "Living Color", in the early 90's flashed in some little-memorable roles in various TV serials, appeared in film episodes of such large filmmakers as Francis Ford Coppola (in the fantasy comedy "Jack" Lopez played a teacher partnered by Robin Williams) and Bob Reyfelson ("Blood and Wine "). During the filming of this movie, Jennifer met her first husband, the Cuban emigrant Oyani Noah, who worked as a waiter in a restaurant owned by famous singer Gloria Estefan.

In 1996, Jennifer got the main role in the film "Selena". The film is based on real events and tells about the life of singer Selena Kvintanilly, the star of Latin American music style tejano. The film was created on the money of the singer's fans, she was murdered shortly before the release of her first English language album. This role brought Lopez long-awaited popularity, but real fame came to Lopez after 1997. Gloomy "Anaconda" stayed for several weeks on the first place of the American box office. Over one and a half hours half-naked Jennifer showed her charms to escape from the treacherous snake. In the same year, Oliver Stone Lopez invited her to play in a movie "Spread". Shortly after the release of "reversal", Jennifer divorced her husband.

J. Lo continued participation in the hit movie by Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" (1998), Wudang adaptation of Elmore Leonard. George Clooney partnered her in the movie. Before filming the movie Jennifer made an expensive plastic surgery, removing excess fat on the thighs and buttocks.

Then Jennifer moved away from films to pop career. In 1999, she recorded a debut album, "On the 6"; loudest single from it called "If You Had My Love". Then "J. Lo" was released in early 2001. This, however, did not stop Lopez from two commercially successful films - hallucinatory "Cage" and "The Wedding Planner", a comedy made in the tradition of Hollywood's golden prose.
