Jennifer Lopez

A Bronx-born actress-singer-dancer of Puerto Rican descent, Jennifer Lopez quickly went from a rising starlet to leading lady, with her sultry, intelligent eyes, luxuriant wavy hair, and fluid body of legendary voluptuousness coming across well on the big screen. Lopez first won attention as a "fly girl", one of the back-up dancers on the Fox variety series "In Living Color" and went on to act in several failed TV series before reaching the big time, leading in feature films and hitting the top of the Billboard charts. This daughter of a computer specialist and a kindergarten teacher always wanted to perform and began taking dance lessons at an early age. Lopez later danced in the European tour of "Golden Musicals of Broadway", in the chorus behind Hinton Battle in the Japanese tour of "Synchronicity" and in numerous music videos and TV variety specials.While she made her film debut in "My Little Girl" (1986), her real showbiz break did not come until she beat out 2,000 other aspirants, impressing choreographer Rosie Perez, and landing a spot in the chorus of "In Living Color". Lopez stayed with the show from 1991-1993, when she elected to branch out into acting. TV roles came quickly, although the vehicles were not all that successful. She made her TV-movie debut as a nurse among crash victims in the dense Mexican jungle in "Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7" (CBS, 1993). She went on to portray Melinda Lopez, a Latina maiden under the watchful eye of her father (Pepe Serna) in the short-lived CBS series "Second Chances" (1993-94), and repeated the role in "Hotel Malibu" (1994), an equally unsuccessful revamp of the former. She also appeared in "South Central" (Fox, 1994), as a co-worker of star Tina Lifford. In 1994, Lopez even co-hosted "Growing Up Roses" (CBS), a special recapping the best moments in Tournament of Roses Parade history.
TV proved too small a medium for Lopez, whose talent and charisma as well as hypnotic good looks cried out for the big screen. Her first feature success came with Gregory Nava's "My Family/Mi Familia" (1995), which found her cast as the youthful version of the matriarch of the Mexican-American family, a woman who survived illegal deportation and near-drowning to return to her husband in Los Angeles. That same year, she co-starred as the pistol-packing Gloria Santiago opposite Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in the action blockbuster "Money Train". In 1996, she was Robin Williams' sympathetic fifth grade teacher, (a role not specifically written for a Latina) in "Jack", a fantasy by Francis Ford Coppola that starred Williams as a ten-year-old whose aging process is drastically accelerated.
Lopez was catapulted to prominence when she was cast in the title role of "Selena" (1997), the moving biopic about the beloved slain Tejano singer. Selena's influential life and tragic death made for a truly compelling film, and the actress' vibrant, intuitive portrayal set her apart from her peers and readied her for stardom. With strong reviews for her turn in the noirish thriller "Blood and Wine", Lopez was poised for greater things, as evidenced by her casting alongside Nick Nolte and Sean Penn in Oliver Stone's "U-Turn" (both also 1997). In 1998, Lopez solidified her leading lady status, starring opposite George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh's subtly steamy action thriller "Out of Sight". Displaying a winning sense of humor that added a down-to-earth charm to her undeniable sultriness, Lopez proved a good fit for heartthrob Clooney, and the two displayed the kind of onscreen fireworks that were notably missing in the actor's prior efforts.
Winning rave reviews for her performance, Lopez was well on her way to superstardom, and made the most of her fame by releasing her debut album, a decidedly NYC-flavored dance record entitled "On the 6" after the subway line that runs from her Bronx home into Manhattan. While the singles "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting For Tonight" tore up the charts and pumped out of nightclub speakers, Lopez was enjoying more screen success as the star of the odd sci-fi thriller "The Cell" (2000). Directed by famed commercial and music video visionary Tarsem, the film drew from various art influences, and made up for lagging plot devices with an sweet dose of eye candy. Lopez outfitted in ornate, elaborate and futuristic garb pleased audiences, though her courageous but slightly stilted performance as a child psychologist with a talent for probing the subconscious was less remarkable. In 2001, she tried her hand at fluffy romantic comedy, playing "The Wedding Planner" who quite literally falls for the groom (Matthew McConaughey). Lopez showed a surprising talent for the sillier side of things, and convincingly ditched her glamorous image for one of a frazzled workaholic prone to pratfalls and other embarrassing mishaps. Audiences flocked to the feel-good comedy, and the final week in January 2001 saw the film as well as her newly-released album "J.Lo" hit the top of their respective charts simultaneously.
Keeping up her career's positive momentum, Lopez starred as a policewoman who falls for Jim Caviezel in the romantic thriller "Angel Eyes"(2001). In 2002, Lopez starred in Michael Apted's thiller/drama "Enough". In this film, Lopez played an abused woman who realized that the only way to escape her abuser (her husband) was to kill him. Both "Angel Eyes" and "Enough" performed wanly at the box office, but Lopez, who also released the poorly reviewed but popular album "This is Me..." in 2002, remained one of the most talked-about performers of her generation and a perennial fixture on magazine covers and entertainment news shows--a status that went into overdrive following her 2002 engagement to actor Ben Affleck. Her next film cast her in a mild, "Pretty Woman"-esque Cinderella mode for "Maid in Manhattan" (2002), in which she played a housekeeper at a high class New York hotel who falls for a handsome politician (Ralph Finnes).
Lopez's public profile reached critical mass with the release of "Gigli" (2003), the mob-based action-comedy on which she first met (and presumably fell for) Affleck. After months of media hype surrounding the "Bennifer" relationship, public expectation of an on-screen romance between Lopez and Affleck was so high, the film was the subject of extensive reshooting and reconfiguring to accomodate the perceptions, although Lopez's character was written and initially shot as a confirmed lesbian. The film, a gangster action-comedy in which Affleck plays an incompotent mob thug, was the victim of bad buzz for months before its release and received a critical drubbing--possibly even an over-harsh response--when it finally hit theaters, giving it almost "Ishtar"-like bomb status. Lopez continued to exist at the eye of the media storm when she and Affleck called off their wedding in September 2003 and split for good in early 2004, followed by press reports that she sought solace with Latin singing sensation Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, the "Bennifer" backlash was so intense, the makers of the next Affleck-Lopez collaboration, writer-director Kevin Smith's middling romantic comedy "Jersey Girl" (2004) extremely downplayed Lopez's involvement (and indeed, her role was small and brief, playing Affleck's doomed wife in the film's opening sequences). The final shocker came five months after the Lopez-Affleck split when Lopez suddenly married the newly divorced Anthony in surprise ceremony that perhaps solidified her off-screen reputation as the Elizabeth Taylor of her generation--although the couple took eight months before officially confirming their marriage and refused to discuss it further.
In midst of her busy life as a celebrity, Lopez also continued to make films: she was paired opposite Richard Gere as an icy dance instructor who rediscovers her passions as she teaches Gere's obsessed family man how to move across the dance floor in the romance "Shall We Dance?" (2004), a role that made great use of her prowess as a dancer. In 2005 Lopez--who announced that she preferred it if the media dropped the "J-Lo" monicker--made headlines with her live duet with Anthony at the 47th annual Grammy Awards (their over-the-top, melodramatic performance of the song "Escapémonos" was snickered at by critics of her musical ability, though Anthony took home the Grammy for best Latin pop album for "Amar Sin Mentiras") and she demonstrated her continual entreprenurial spirit with a new fragrance launch, the debut of her Sweetface clothing line (which prompted protests from animal activists due to its use of fur), and a new album, "Rebirth," a return to club-style dance beats which launched to initially disappointing sales. Her next film, the comedy "Monster-In-Law" (2005), pitted her effectively against screen legend Jane Fonda (in her first role in 15 years): in the film Lopez's sweet-natured temp finds the man of her dreams, only to be menaced by his meddling, over-protective mother who hopes to drive her away. Candy-sweet on the outside at first, Lopez eventually reveals the inner steel that made her more than a match for the icon Fonda. Her next film, Lasse Halstrom's "An Unfinished Life" (2005) was released long after completion due to the complexities of the restructuring of Miramax following the departure of Bob and Harvey Weinstein, and while Lopez generally recieved good notices for her role as a widowed mother in an abusive relationship who seeks shelter with her estranged father-in-law (Robert Redford),
The actress also developed and executive produced the TV series "South Beach" (UPN, 2005 - ), an ensemble drama about three young adults whose dreams and aspirations lead them to Miami. She next was set to star in "Bridge and Tunnel" (lensed 2006), a romantic comedy in which she played a stock trader who depends on a suburban teen who day-trades on his home computer.

Jennifer Aniston

Thanks to a rare combiniation of winsome girl-next-door charm and vulnerability, wholesome sex appeal and whip-smart comic timing, Jennifer Aniston found TV stardom playing Rachel Green, the spoiled rich girl making her way in life as a waitress and fashion buyer who relies on her "Friends" in the hit NBC sitcom, becoming one of the most popular actresses of her era. The petite, attractive actress grew up around show business; her godfather was actor Telly Savalas, her mother was a model and actress and her father had a career as a soap opera player. After graduating from NYC's famed High School for the Performing Arts in 1987, Aniston embarked on her career which consisted of TV commercials and a handful of Off-Broadway productions. At age 20, she headed west and soon landed roles in a string of short-lived sitcoms, generally cast as spoiled or bratty siblings as in "Molloy" (Fox, 1989) and "Ferris Bueller" (NBC, 1990-91). A stint on the Fox variety sketch series "The Edge" (1992-93) further honed her comedic skills; she is perhaps best-recalled as a member of the paranoid, weapons-toting 'Armed Family'. After an agent suggested she lose weight, Aniston shed 30 pounds and won the role of Rachel on "Friends" (1994-2004). Although her shag hairdo got a lot of attention, she proved to be a gifted light comedienne, skillfully moving her character from a pampered girl to a self-reliant woman, along the way, engaging in a romance with the divorced Ross Geller (played by David Schwimmer), and later with the thick but loveable Joey (Matt LeBlanc). The role made Aniston a superstar and earned her four successive Emmy nominations (2000-2003), twice as Best Supporting Actress and twice as Best Lead Actress--she would take home the Lead Actress Emmy in 2002, as well as a Golden Globe in 2003.
While Aniston had appeared in the low-budget schlocky horror outing "Leprechaun" (1993), her small screen success led to feature offers. She tried to move slowly away from her TV image with supporting turns as the unhappily married wife of a womanizing stockbroker in Edward Burns' "She's the One" (1996) and an acerbic cameo as an overwhelmed young woman juggling career and motherhood in the otherwise forgettable "'Til There Was You" (1997). Her first lead, as an ambitious advertising executive who creates a fake boyfriend to insure her climb up the corporate ladder, in "Picture Perfect" (1997) proved both a critical and box-office disappointment but Aniston bounced back in the more serious role of a pregnant woman who forms a bond with her gay roommate in "The Object of My Affection" (1998). She had what was essentially a supporting role in "Office Space" (1999) and voiced the mother of the boy who discovers "The Iron Giant" (also 1999) in that underrated animated feature.
In 1997 Aniston became romantically to the handsome movie actor Brad Pitt, placing them on magazine covers as Hollywood's reigning "It" Couple for years to come. They married in July 2000 in a storybook Malibu wedding illuminated by fireworks. The couple worked together professionally only once, when Pitt appeared on a 2001 episode of "Friends" as a formerly fat high school class mate and onetime pal of Courteney Cox's Monica with a long-simmering resentment of Aniston's Rachel.
Aniston next appeared as the love interest to a salesman (Mark Wahlberg) who joins a heavy metal band in "Rock Star" (2001), anchoring the lightweight, high-concept film with its most convincing and emotional presence. In 2002, Aniston made an impressive debut on the indie-film scene as a conflicted housewife/retail worker in "The Good Girl," playing a bored and forlorn Midwestern housewife who discovers that throwing caution to the wind and bucking her staid life is not everthing she imagined it would. The following year, Aniston paired with Jim Carrey for the hit comedy feature "Bruce Almighty" (2003) as the girlfriend of a man gifted with God's powers. She fared even better in her follow-up "Along Came Polly" (2004), playing against type as a free spirit who teaches her risk-fearing new beau (Ben Stiller) how to take chances. The role cemented Aniston's status as a potential A-list movie star just as "Friends" drew to an end in May 2004.
As she moved on to her next projects, Aniston found herself in the center of a media tempest when she announced her split from Pitt, who subsequently appeared to responsible for the breakup when it appeared he began a romance with actress Angelina Jolie on the set of their film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (2005). The drama played out in the entertainment media for several months, with Aniston finally giving a teary-eyed interview to Vanity Fair that, while taking some pains to play fair and amicable, decidely cast her as the unsuspecting victim and Pitt as the cad. Ironically, during the media firestorm Aniston was shooting "The Break-Up" (lensed 2005) in Chicago with actor Vince Vaughn, playing a divorcing couple struggling to continue to cohabitate. Rumors swirled of a budding relationship between the two stars, and despite denials they did appear to be a couple by fall of 2005 when Aniston had two films hitting theaters: the first, "Derailed," cast the actress and Clive Owen as two married business executives having an affair who are blackmailed by a violent criminal and must turn the tables to save their families; the second, director Rob Reiner's "Rumor Has It," saw Aniston playing Sarah Huttinger, who learns that her family was the inspiration for the book and film "The Graduate" -- and that she just might be the offspring of the notorious storyline.

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Known as : Actor, singer, songwriter, producer

Awards : Kids' Choice Awards Favorite Female Butt Kicker 2003 People's Choice Award Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series "Time of Your Life" 2000

In the mid-1990s, Jennifer Love Hewitt transformed from a Barbie-hawking child actress into a men’s magazine mainstay with her role in the thriller, “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (1997). She had already begun building a following with her perky, girl-next-door role on the hit teen drama “Party of Five” (Fox, 1994-2000), but her tight tops and blood-curdling screams in the hair-raising blockbuster made her into a household name. Hewitt’s frenzied popularity resulted in her own spin-off TV series, a sequel “Summer” film, and the release of several pop albums before she settled into a career of lightweight family films and TV, including a starring role in the supernatural drama series “The Ghost Whisperer” (CBS, 2005- ).Despite what skeptics might have said later on, Jennifer Love Hewitt did not adopt her catchy middle name as a showbiz ploy; it was given to her on Feb. 21, 1979 — the day she was born in Waco, TX. She was raised in the small town of Killeen, which could barely contain her talent even at the age of six when she performed “The Greatest Love of All” at a livestock fair. Dance classes and impromptu performances at local venues followed, leading to the nine-year-old Hewitt being cast in an internationally touring song and dance group called Texas Show Team. The following year, she landed a contract with L.A. Gear sneakers, dancing in their traveling promotional shows and appearing in a commercial with Michael Jordan. At the advice of a talent scout, Hewitt and her mother relocated to Los Angeles so that the big dreamin’ Texan could take a shot at stardom.
Hewitt, a child actress of the wide-eyed, over-enunciating, hyperventilating-with-enthusiasm variety, quickly landed work in commercials, signing a two-year spokesmodel contract with Mattel’s Barbie. In 1989, she was hired on the Disney sitcom "Kids Inc." (Syndicated, 1984-86; Disney Channel 1986-1992) which centered on a wholesome, song-and-dance trained kid band that performed current pop hits. Still under contract with L.A. Gear, Hewitt recorded a promotional CD single for the brand – a cover of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” – and with the press coverage that “Kids Inc.” was receiving, seemed poised to launch a teen pop career. After taping a Barbie-themed workout video under her Mattel contract in 1991, Hewitt released an album called Love Songs (1992) for Japan pop audiences – a group apparently more receptive to the sugary sweet pre-teen sound. The hungry young performer had almost more than she could handle that year, cast in three TV series – including two failed pilots and one that ran half a season – and appointed Youth Ambassador at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Outside the song and dance arena, she had straight acting roles in the video release “Munchie” (1992), "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit" (1993), and the TV film “Little Miss Millions” (1993). Two different sitcom families claimed Hewitt as a teenage daughter in 1994 – midseason replacement “Byrds of Paradise” (ABC, 1994) which was cancelled in the summer, and in the fall, “McKenna” (ABC, 1994-95) for just one season.
In 1995, Hewitt found her niche with the teen drama “Party of Five.” The show was already a critic’s pick but was still trying to build ratings when Hewitt joined the cast in the second season, playing Sarah Reeves, girlfriend of Bailey Salinger (Scott Wolf). The effervescent teen quickly became a favorite with the younger crowd, earning nominations from the Kids Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards, as well as a prestigious nod from the grownups in 1996 with the show’s Golden Globe Award for Best Drama. Hewitt took advantage of her new high profile to record a self-titled album, as her first U.S. release the previous year had flown virtually under the radar. Jennifer Love Hewitt did not produce any hits, but its bland soul-pop confirmed her persona as a reliable, non-threatening teen entertainer.
In 1997, the doe-eyed innocent, who had spent most of her “Party of Five” career hidden beneath Gap clothes, landed a crop-top leading role in the thriller "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997) – which helped Hewitt facilitate a long relationship with Maxim and FHM “Sexiest” lists. Aside from that, the film was a favorite at the box office, and helped establish the teen-horror genre as one of the hottest of the time. For her role as ambitious teen Julie, Hewitt earned a “Favorite Newcomer Award” at the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards. A sequel the following year, “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” (1998) failed to make the same impact, however Hewitt enjoyed success with “Can’t Hardly Wait” (1998) – a “one night at a high school party” movie that attained cult status as among the best of the genre.
Now one of the most popular young actresses in Hollywood, Hewitt remained focused on her career when others might have strayed. She was very open about the fact that she continued to live with her mother well into her twenties, and she was even slightly embarrassed to admit that she did not drink, smoke, swear, or live any sort of glamorous Hollywood lifestyle. Magazine gossip linking her to every imaginable single male suggested otherwise – including Wilmer Valderrama, John Mayer and Carson Daly – but in fact, the girl who had a fan web site devoted solely to her famous bosom, was photographed by paparazzi indulging in the most uncontroversial of activities — shopping in a scrapbook store, etc.
Despite her saturation on the Web, Hewitt’s post “Party” spin-off series “Time of Your Life” (1998-99) was canceled half way through it first season. She went on to star in the USA Network biopic “The Audrey Hepburn Story” (2000), portraying one of her all time idols – much to some critics’ consternation that she could hardly fill the legend’s shoes. Undaunted, the 20-year-old Hewitt continued trying to angle away from teen roles, next starring on the big screen opposite Sigourney Weaver as a mother-daughter con artist team in "HeartBreakers" (2000). In a further effort to distance herself from her kind of “Pollyanna past,” she took a role as the devil in "The Devil and Daniel Webster" (shot 2001), a film directed by and starring Alec Baldwin, but plagued with financial troubles and an indefinitely postponed release date.
In an unlikely pairing, Hewitt teamed up with Jackie Chan for the family action comedy "The Tuxedo" (2002). Several made-for-TV movies and role in the semi-animated feature "Garfield" (2004) seemed to suggest that Hewitt’s peak was behind her. Even her 2002 album BareNaked failed to deliver on its titillating promise, critics lambasting the singer for a cliché-riddled album lacking in whatever quality had made her such a popular film and TV star just a few years earlier.
In 2005, Hewitt proved naysayers wrong once again by returning to regular series television and headlining “The Ghost Whisperer” (CBS, 2005- ), where she starred as a young paranormal investigator with the gift of communicating with earthbound spirits. Audiences seemed willing to accept Hewitt in this new adult persona – enough that she was nominated for People’s Choice, Kids Choice, and Teen Choice Awards in 2006. In 2007, she received a Saturn Award for Best Actress in a Television Program.
