8 1 LIFE IMITATES ART Jennifer Lopez first became a household name in 1997 when her celebrated face, and even more celebrated form, graced the cover of countless magazines, appeared in CD store windows, and was displayed on cineplex marquees. A person would be hard-pressed to spend even a day without hearing something or other about this multitalented performer. Jennifer s climb to superstardom is a testament to her ambition and ability, but none of it could have been possible without the film that helped this budding actress turn the corner once and for all. The film that brought Jennifer out of the shadows and into the limelight was not what anyone would call a big-budget blockbuster. Selena, the story of the Mexican- American Tejano singer who rose to unprecedented fame before being fatally shot by the president of her fan club, was made for $20 million and earned a respectable $35 million. The fact that it did not break any box office records mattered little to the millions who flocked to see Playing the role of the beloved Tejano singer Selena, Jennifer gave an exuberant performance. Although Jennifer had appeared in television and films in the early 1990s, it was the 1997 film Selena that thrust her into the limelight and put her on the road to stardom. 7
9 8 JENNIFER LOPEZ Critics and fans alike were won over by Jennifer s charm and versatility. Her determination to play Selena and the energy she brought to the role helped make the movie popular. the biopic of the late, great Latina role model. Besides commemorating the life of one inspirational woman, Selena also gave the world Jennifer Lopez. This young acting, singing, and dancing triple threat would do as much as her on-screen alter ego to further the cause of Latinos nationwide. Before Selena and despite a list of film credits, including her starring role in the just released Anaconda, Jennifer still did not have that breakthrough role that would make the public stand up and take notice. What thrust her onto Hollywood s mostwanted list was Selena. In the title role of Selena Quintanilla Perez, Jennifer stole the show as well as the hearts of theatergoers everywhere.
10 Film critics were not immune to Jennifer s many charms either. The teenage and adult Selena is played by Lopez in a star-making performance, raved Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times. Selena succeeds, through Lopez s performance, in evoking the magic of a sweet and talented young woman. Other reviewers only echoed the above sentiment. Lopez... gives a feisty, buoyant performance that could set her on a star path similar to the singer s, wrote T ime magazine s Richard Corliss. The Washington Post s Richard Harrington was enamored of Jennifer, stating that the film rightfully belongs to Jennifer Lopez, who captures Selena s luminous beauty, innate sweetness, and boundless energy. Selena had indeed created a first-rate movie star. Jennifer could not let the film take all the credit for her success, however. As she told the Toronto Sun, I think Selena really got my name out there, but Jennifer Lopez didn t do a bad job of that, either. In fact, Jennifer had to overcome quite a few obstacles just to get the part of Selena. The film, which documented the true story of the singer s rise to stardom and her shocking death, was executive produced by Selena s father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr. His expressed intention was to commemorate the life of his daughter and give her fans a deeply personal portrait by which to remember their hero. With Selena s father at the helm of the production, whoever got the role had to embody the essential quality that made Selena so important to her vast following. First, Abraham Quintanilla hired Gregory Nava, the director of such lauded Latino films 9 LIFE IMITATES ART
11 10 JENNIFER LOPEZ as 1995 s My Family/Mi Familia and 1983 s El Norte, to direct and cowrite the story. Then the casting crusade swung into high gear. The team put out a casting call that reached the ears of some 22,000 would-be Selenas, all of whom showed up at audition sites in California, Texas, Illinois, and Florida. Although most of the contenders were amateurs, some professionals also auditioned for the role. Jennifer was one of them. Having worked with director Nava on My Family/Mi Familia, Jennifer knew that she had the inside track when her agent told her about the audition. What she did not know, however, was how badly she would end up wanting the role. After reading the script, Jennifer quickly realized the kind of character she would be dealing with. Selena was a spirit, she told Cosmopolitan. Nothing was going to stop her. And I admire that kind of drive. This very drive probably motivated Jennifer during the audition process. Grueling as it was, the audition was no match for Jennifer s unflagging stamina and dancer s physique. She won the part and began earning her $1 million fee, the highest ever bestowed upon a Latina actress at the time. For the former dancer, the part was a natural fit. While growing up and aspiring to Broadway fame, Jennifer had danced and sung in musical theater. Her voice was strong, her moves were sharp, and her star power was as bright as that of Selena herself. Despite Jennifer s talents and film experience and the fact that Nava had worked with her before, he did expect her to submit to several rigorous auditions. In one day, the actress had to perform two of Selena s
12 songs as if she were the late songstress herself and also act in a whopping five scenes. The entire audition took no less than 11 hours. As far as Jennifer was concerned, this was the single toughest test of her career. But dancing and singing ability alone did not account for Jennifer s success. Her keen understanding of the film s intentions played a significant part in her triumphant audition. Jennifer knew that playing Selena had to be about staying true to the character, as opposed to indulging her own need for artistic expression. To accomplish this formidable feat, Jennifer did her research. She studied the Tejano star s dialect, gestures, and signature dance moves. She also moved in with Selena s sister, Suzette, and interacted with the Quintanilla family as much as possible. Right from the start, it had been obvious that Jennifer had a great deal in common with Selena. The fact that the two women s values and ambition were an exact match was apparent to both the Quintanilla family and the film s director. The more the Quintanillas discovered about Jennifer, the more their confidence in her ability to portray Selena increased. Not only did Jennifer resemble Selena in personality, mannerisms, and appearance, she even shared some of Selena s bad habits, such as eating junk food. [Selena s mother] told me I was just like Selena, the actress enthused to Time magazine, obviously flattered by the compliment. Although the Mexican-American community had some reservations about an actress with a Puerto Rican background playing the role of their beloved hero, the sight of Jennifer looking every inch the Tejano sensation 11 LIFE IMITATES ART
13 12 JENNIFER LOPEZ pacified any disbelievers. From the color of her nail polish to the tight fit of her clothes to the ring of her laugh, Jennifer brought Selena back to life. With the final approval of the Quintanilla family, Jennifer knew that her portrayal of Selena could not fail to meet with critical and popular success. She was right. Her performance earned her nominations for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Motion Picture and an MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, as well as a trophy from the American Latino Media Arts (ALMA) Awards for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture. Jennifer finally got to walk the elusive red carpet, feel the blinding flashes of hundreds of high-powered cameras, and field scores of questions from reporters. She had arrived. Jennifer was never a complacent young woman, however. She conquered the world of motion pictures, scoring a $2 million salary, an unheard-of sum for a Latina actress, when she appeared in the film Out of Sight in Following the film, she then refocused her energies on the music industry. As if possessed by the spirit of the slain superstar, Jennifer felt compelled to pick up Selena s torch and run with it. [W]hen I did Selena I realized how much I missed singing and dancing, she explained. Its just something I always wanted to do. I don t know about conquering the music market, I just want to make a song that everyone sings along to. I don t want to look back and see that I didn t even try when I had the opportunity. By now the public knows exactly how Jennifer s bid for pop music stardom turned

With this award and others she won for the film, Jennifer felt like she had arrived as a film star. out. Just two years after Selena debuted in the theaters, If You Had My Love, the first single from Jennifer s debut album, On the 6, appeared on radio and MTV. The response to the upbeat track was phenomenal, catapulting the new recording artist to the heights of celebrity. Jennifer Lopez had succeeded in continuing Selena s legacy into the new millennium, opening a whole new world not only to Latinos but to people everywhere.

16 2 A BRONX TALE Jennifer Lopez was not kidding when she told Honey magazine that she was dancing probably out of the womb. In fact, she does not remember a time when she wanted to do anything other than perform. Her Puerto Rican parents, however, had other plans for the second of their three daughters. The Lopezes oldest daughter, Leslie, was born in 1967, while Jennifer came into the world on July 24, Lynda came along a year later. Living in New York s tough South Bronx neighborhood, David and Guadalupe Lupe Lopez always believed that great things were in store for their fiery and determined middle daughter. My parents said that I could do anything even though we were from where we were from and we were who we were as far as nationality went, Jennifer explained. They taught me that none of that mattered, you know, that we were just as beautiful and smart and intelligent and could accomplish the same things as anybody else in this country. The only problem was that David s and Lupe s idea of greatness for Jennifer was going to law school and becoming Jennifer often returns to her roots in New York City s South Bronx community to visit and shop. As she grew up, she was encouraged by her mother to appreciate music and the theater, which inspired young Jennifer to dream of a future as a performer. 15
17 16 JENNIFER LOPEZ distinguished in that profession. While this idea often conflicted with their daughter s determination to become an entertainer, they did indulge her passion for dancing. At the age of seven, they enrolled the little girl in dance classes, and soon she was taking lessons in jazz, piano, and theater. Although the family lived in a working-class area that boasted more gangs and housing projects than million-dollar homes and treelined streets, the Lopez children were not underprivileged. While the first few years of her life were spent in what Jennifer described as a small apartment that was cold in the winter and hot in the summer, the family s financial outlook soon improved. David Lopez began a steady job as a computer specialist at an insurance company, and Guadalupe became a kindergarten teacher at the Holy Family Catholic School. The Lopezes were soon able to afford a single-family home. According to Jennifer, the horror stories about her neighborhood have been greatly exaggerated. She does not see The Bronx as a war zone but simply an inner city neighborhood like those in many other cities. The area was rough around the edges, but Jennifer quickly learned to appreciate the benefits of growing up a city kid. I have a lot of street smarts because of the neighborhood I grew up in, she said. It wasn t so much a bad neighborhood as one where you had to be careful. And the sensibilities you grow up with in a city teach you to be more alert, aware, more careful. Leslie, Jennifer, and Lynda Lopez came of age just across the street from the Holy Family Church, sharing family life in a
18 17 A BRONX TALE comfortable, two-story house with a wood and brick exterior. The three sisters had some of the best times of their lives playing together. One of the things that they bonded over was their intense love for the same television show Charlie s Angels. When we would play, I was always Jaclyn Smith, Lynda told People magazine. Leslie was Kate Jackson. Jen was whoever the blonde was Farrah or Cheryl Ladd. While Lynda, Jennifer, and Leslie may have played Angels, they didn t always act angelic. Their legendary arguments bore a stronger resemblance to the gang violence depicted in their favorite film, West Side Story. Like many siblings who can often be found at each other s throats, the fights between Jennifer and Leslie would start small and end by waking the entire neighborhood. One time, an adolescent Jennifer even chased Leslie around the house with a knife. Thanks to Lupe s strong influence, musicals became a favorite family pastime. Having tried and failed to become an actress, the girls mother wanted to develop an appreciation for the arts in her children. I made my three daughters watch musical films like West Side Story, she recalled. Sit and watch, I told them, and they did. Young Jennifer was only too happy to obey her mother. The young girl loved West Side Story right away. Focusing on the struggles of the Puerto Rican community and featuring real Latinos such as Rita Moreno in principal roles, the film inspired Jennifer to shoot for the stars. There were zero Latinos on TV, she told People, so Rita
19 18 JENNIFER LOPEZ Moreno was the only one I identified with. At school Jennifer sometimes didn t fit in, but she stood up for herself. Demanding respect even as a fourth grader, she got into a fistfight with a friend who had been talking behind her back. Needless to say, Jennifer never had to fight again. According to Jennifer, she knocked down her opponent and won the fight. She has said that she is not proud of what she did but that she made her point. No one bothered her again and she eventually graduated from school without any trouble. Lupe Lopez s strict parenting had a great deal to do with Jennifer s successful transition from the Bronx to the big time. The concerned mother was convinced that as an early bloomer, Jennifer was in serious danger of winding up an unwed mother. Seeing the potential hazard, Lupe instructed her daughter to dress as conservatively as possible and to stay away from makeup. My mother used to say, I m so worried about Jennifer because she s so sexy. I m afraid she s going to get pregnant, Jennifer later recalled. The taste in my neighborhood was for voluptuous women, see? I knew guys liked me. Taking her mother s good advice to heart, Jennifer kept to the straight and narrow, never picking up the habits favored by so many of her peers, such as smoking, drinking, and drugs. I was never naughty, she said, but I was a tomboy and very athletic. I d always be running around and playing sports and stuff. But I was a good kid. I was always hugging people. I was very close to my grandparents and I listened to my mother and didn t do bad things. Even when Jennifer was 15 and started to date her first boyfriend, David Cruz, she still
20 19 A BRONX TALE followed her mother s orders. Jennifer and David Cruz would remain an item for nearly nine years before Jennifer s stardom finally put an end to the relationship with her high school sweetheart. How, though, did she suddenly become a star? Jennifer s big break into show business came as a direct result of her first love, a pursuit that no one had really believed would ever pan out dancing. Actress Rita Moreno dances in a scene from the musical West Side Story. One of the few Latina stars in films at that time, Moreno was a role model for young Jennifer, who was determined that she too would dance and sing one day.
