Lopez is an American actress, dancer, and singer born on July 24, 1969, in New York City, New York, United States. She became active in 1986 as a teenager and appeared on a TV series five years later.

Lopez portrayed a fly girl dancer in an American comedy TV series titled "In Living Color." In 1993, she decided to pursue a major career in acting, and her first lead role came in 1997. She was the first actress to earn $1 million from a film. She became the highest-paid Latin actress in Hollywood after featuring in a series of movies like "Anaconda" in 1997 and "Out Of Sight" in 1998. Before her appearance in these movies, she has had some early acting roles.

In 1999, Lopez moved into the music industry, releasing her studio debut project titled "On The 6," a 16-track album that featured Marc Anthony and Fat Joe. She had a good run fusing her sound around R&B, hip hop, and Latin.

The 52-year-old actress has been in three marriages between 1997 and 2014. She married Ojani Noa in 1997 and divorced a year later. Her next marriage with Cris Judd lasted two years.

In 2004, she married Marc Anthony and gave birth to fraternal twins David and Maribel. The couple separated in 2011 and filed for a divorce – a year later – which was later finalized in 2014.

The movie star once spoke about how awkward it was when she was undressing for a love scene in Joseph Ruben's 1995 film titled "Money Train." In the movie, she played Grace Santiago, who was a transit officer.

Her character in the movie started developing some feelings for Snipes' character, Officer John Robinson. The feelings between the characters heightened to the point where they would make love. Anyways, Lopez was not cool with certain plays in the love scenes.

In an interview, she addressed it as being horrible. She talked about her difficulty in rejecting certain things at the time as she had just started working professionally.

She had no choice but to do it, although she commended Snipes' professionalism. Lopez noted he tried his best to make her feel comfortable during the scenes.

However, things got complicated when Snipes wanted to take the relationship further.

When Lopez was on the fast rise to fame, she honestly expressed her feelings regarding some movie stars.

One notable notion she talked about was the unequal gender pay in Hollywood. She even directly referred to some stars.

At the time, she discussed her plight with Snipes for what he did in "Money Train." In an interview back then in 1998, she called out Snipes by calling him a flirt. She said he flirted with her even though she had a boyfriend then.

She explained that harmless flirting goes on between co-stars in the industry, but Snipes took it too far. She said that he would make moves to kiss her whenever he dropped her off after a hang-out. But Snipes had a different story.

In a 1996 interview with The Insider, Lopez talked about her nervousness when she wanted to shoot her first love scene.

She said she had acted in some intimate scenes before, but it was her first time having a full-blown love scene.

After reaching out to a few friends for advice on the love scene, she was advised to use a love pillow. A love pillow can be placed between the characters in the scene to prevent skin contact depending on the camera angle.

Lopez was able to get a love pillow after asking some ladies in the costume team. She mentioned Woody Harrelson being on set, which birthed assumptions that the movie in question was "Money Train."
