From modest beginnings in the New York City borough of the Bronx, superstar singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has dominated the stage and the screen for nearly 30 years. She started her entertainment career as a Fly Girl dancer on the sketch comedy series "In Living Color," and has sold more than 80 million records, toured across the world and performed at some of the biggest events, including at this year's Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira.

Lopez landed her big break in acting in 1997 when she landed her first leading role as Selena, in the 1997 biographic movie of the same name. For her role as the Tejano music star, Lopez was reportedly paid $1 million, making her the highest-paid Hispanic actress in history. 

She followed up this Golden Globe-nominated performance with roles in blockbuster movies "Anaconda" in 1997 (earning her $1 million) and "Out of Sight" (with George Clooney) in 1998 ($2 million). In 2001, Lopez earned $12 million for "The Wedding Planner," in which she starred alongside Matthew McConaughey. Lopez has also starred in commercial hits such as "Maid In Manhattan" (2002) and "Hustlers" (2019).
