Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lynn Lopez (born July 24, 1969), also known by her nickname J.Lo, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, dancer and businesswoman. Lopez is regarded as one of the most influential entertainers of her time, credited with breaking barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and helping propel the Latin pop movement in music. She is also known for her cultural impact through fashion, branding, and shifting mainstream beauty standards.

After appearing as a Fly Girl dancer on the sketch comedy series ''In Living Color'' (1991–1993), Lopez rose to wider fame as an actress with leading film roles in ''Selena'' (1997), ''Anaconda'' (1997), ''Out of Sight'' (1998), and ''The Cell'' (2000). She successfully ventured into music with her debut album, ''On the 6'' (1999), which spawned the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number-one single "If You Had My Love". With her second album ''J.Lo'' and the romantic comedy ''The Wedding Planner'' (both 2001), she became the first woman to simultaneously have the number-one album and film in the United States. Her musical success continued with ''J to tha L–O! The Remixes''—the first remix album to top the US ''Billboard'' 200—and ''This Is Me... Then'' (both 2002). These projects included the US number-one singles "I'm Real", "Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix)", and "All I Have".

Lopez established herself as one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses with her roles in romantic comedies, including ''Maid in Manhattan'' (2002), ''Shall We Dance?'' (2004), and ''Monster-in-Law'' (2005). Subsequent albums included ''Como Ama una Mujer'' (2007), which broke first-week sales records for a debut Spanish album. After a career decline, Lopez returned to prominence as a judge on ''American Idol'' (2011–2016) and released her comeback single, "On the Floor", from the album ''Love?'' (2011). She later starred in the police drama series ''Shades of Blue'' (2016–2018) and served as a judge on ''World of Dance'' (2017–2020). Her film career saw an upturn with her critically praised performance in the crime drama ''Hustlers'' (2019). She has since starred in ''Marry Me'' (2022), ''The Mother'' (2023), ''This Is Me... Now: A Love Story'' and ''Atlas'' (both 2024), while receiving praise for her supporting roles in ''Unstoppable'' (2024) and ''Kiss of the Spider Woman'' (2025).

Lopez has sold over 80 million records worldwide, while her films have cumulatively grossed over US$3.1 billion. Her accolades include a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the ''Billboard'' Icon Award, three American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards (including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award), and six ''Guinness World Records''. She has been ranked among the 100 most influential people in the world by ''Time'' (2018) and the World's 100 Most Powerful Women by ''Forbes'' (2012). Lopez has a large social media following, being one of the most-followed individuals on Instagram. Her other ventures include a lifestyle brand, beauty and fashion lines, fragrances, a production company, and a charitable foundation. Provided by Wikipedia
