Actress/singer Jennifer Lopez was born in the Bronx, NY, on July 24, 1969; after starting out in musical theater as a child, at age 16 she made her film debut in the little-seen #My Little Girl, but her career then stalled until she was tapped to become one of the dancing "Fly Girls" on the television sketch comedy series #In Living Color. A recurring role on the TV drama #Second Chances followed before Lopez was thrust into the limelight co-starring with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in the 1995 feature film #Money Train; smaller roles in pictures including #My Family/Mi Familia, #Jack, and #Blood and Wine followed before she landed the title role in 1997's #Selena, portraying the slain tejano singer.
