Dancer turned singer/actress. Jennifer Lopez first became "J-Lo", but now it's to be Jennifer Anthony. Lucky that Ben thing never happened - I mean would it have been Jennifer Affleck, J-Lo Affleck, Jennifer Lopez-Affleck? Do we care?

Got her first break as a dancer on TV's "In Living Color" (1990). Then moved to the big screen starring in "Money Train" (1995) and "Selena" (1997). But best known for her singing after her triple-platinum album "On the 6" in 1999. Almost unique in subsequently maintaining success both as an actress and singer (if you forgive her for "Gigli" in 2003).
