Jennifer Lopez
From The Bronx
About
Also known as: J Lo, J-Lo, J. Lo, J.Lo, JLO, Jennifer Lynn Lopez, ジェニファー・ロペス
Few artists have pulled off the kind of double life Jennifer Lopez has managed. Growing up in the Bronx, she first made her name as a Fly Girl dancer on the sketch comedy show In Living Color before pivoting to acting and landing a career defining role as Selena Quintanilla Pérez in the 1997 biopic Selena. That film made her the first Latin actress to earn over a million dollars for a single role and earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Her music career kicked off just as hard. The debut album On the 6 spawned "Waiting for Tonight" and "Let's Get Loud", both Grammy nominated, and the follow up J.Lo gave her the MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip Hop Video with "I'm Real". The remix collection J to tha L O! The Remixes made Guinness World Records as the first remix album to top the US Billboard 200. Later, the video for "On the Floor" was certified by Guinness as the highest viewed female music video of all time. Beyond the charts and box office, Lopez has racked up some genuinely historic firsts: first female recipient of the Billboard Icon Award, first Latin artist to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and the 2,500th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
