Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lynn Lopez was born July 24, 1969, and started as a dancer on In Living Color from 1991 to 1993 before breaking through as an actress in Selena and Out of Sight in the late nineties. Her 1999 debut album On the 6 launched a parallel music career, and in 2001 she became the first woman to hold the number-one album (J.Lo) and film (The Wedding Planner) in the United States at the same time. She followed with the first remix album to top the Billboard 200, a string of chart-toppers including "On the Floor," and roles in romantic comedies that made her one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses through the mid-2000s. After a career lull she returned with a praised turn in Hustlers in 2019 and has kept working steadily in film and music since. She has sold over 80 million records, her movies have grossed over $1.9 billion worldwide, and she remains one of the most-followed people on Instagram.
