Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez was born in New York City, on July 24, 1969. The daughter of David, a computer programmer, and Guadalupe, a kindergarten teacher, the young Lopez always dreamed of becoming a performer.

With talents in singing and dancing, Jennifer began performing in stage musicals, dancing in a European tour of Golden Musicals of Broadway, a Japanese tour of Synchronicity and local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Jennifer Lopez on in living color
The young girl from the Bronx finally became more recognized when she was cast as one of the Fly Girl dancers on FOX's In Living Color in 1993. What Lopez was really itching to do was act, but she stuck around on In Living Color for a short while, following producer Keenan Ivory Wayans' advice.

Jennifer's Fly Girl role led to more roles on the small screen. She landed a recurring role on FOX's short-lived series South Central (1994) and the TV series Second Chances (1993). Her portrayal of the part was so impressive that big-league producer Aaron Spelling wanted to continue the role on another one of his series, Malibu Shores. After appearing in a few episodes, Jennifer refused to develop the deal further (the show was axed anyway) with the hopes of taking her talents to the silver screen.
