After early 90’s stints as a fly dancer on the hit Fox show In Living Color and a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson, Lopez backed out of Jackson’s world tour to pursue acting, appearing on South Central, Hotel Malibu and other short-lived television shows, before landing a role with Wesley Snipes in 1995’s Money Train. Lopez’s groundbreaking starring role in the 1997 biopic Selena brought her to megastar status. She became the first Hispanic actress to get paid more than one million dollars for a film role. After wowing critics in The Cell, Out of Sight and other edgy thrillers, she explored her comedic side in The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan, Shall We Dance? and Monster In Law. Lopez has since revisited her edginess with Bravetown and El Cantante, two indie releases that mark a major change in Lopez’s work. In El Cantante, a film based on the true story of Salsa King Hector Lavoe, Lopez stars alongside hubby Marc Anthony. Lopez’s music career exploded as quickly as her film career. Her debut album, On the 6 and 2001’s J. Lo surprised many by topping the charts. Lopez’s recent release, “Como Ama Una Mujer,” is her first in the Spanish language. The video for “Qué Hiciste” was the first Spanish-language music video to reach number one on Total Request Live. The singer's sixth studio album, Brave, was released October 9, 2007. In November 2007, Lopez took home the American Music Award for Best Latin Artist. In June 2008, Lopez took to the stage to perform for the first time since the birth of her twins, Max and Emme, during a surprise appearance at an elementary school for special needs students in Staten Island, New York.
