Early life

Jennifer Lynn Lopez was born in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, and was raised in its Castle Hill neighborhood on July 24, 1969. As children, David López and Guadalupe Rodro were born in Puerto Rico and then migrated to the United States mainland. David started working as a computer programmer at Guardian Insurance Company while serving in the army. Guadalupe was a homemaker for the first ten years of Lopez's life and later served as a Tupperware salesman and a kindergarten and gym instructor. After 33 years of marriage, they divorced in the 1990s.

Lopez is a middle child; she has an older sister, Leslie, and a younger sister, Lynda. The three children slept in the same bedroom. Lopez has referred to her upbringing as "strict." She was born in a Roman Catholic family, attended Mass every Sunday and received a Catholic education, attended Holy Family School, and Preston High School for the girls. Lopez played football, competed in gymnastics, and was a member of the Softball team while in high school. She appeared in school dramas and appeared in a leading role in a Godspell revival.

In the typical Puerto Rican household, there was "lots of music," and Lopez and her siblings were encouraged to perform, dance, and create their own plays for family gatherings. The youth Lopez was portrayed by West Side Story, who wanted to be an entertainer from an early age. She began taking ballet lessons at Ballet Hispánico on the Upper West Side at the age of five. She studied flamenco, jazz, and ballet at the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club as a child and taught dance to younger students, including Kerry Washington. She worked part-time secretarial work at a law firm and studied accounting at Baruch College in New York for one semester after graduating from high school. Lopez made her acting debut at age 16 in the 1986 film My Little Girl. She enrolled at the Philadelphia Black Dance Studio in Manhattan, where she had already taken night classes in jazz and tap dance at age 18. Her parents were dissatisfied with her decision to leave college to pursue a dance career. Her mother begged her to leave the family's house, but they haven't spoken for eight months. Lopez slept in the dance studio's office for the first few months before moving to Manhattan.

Personal life

Lopez had been in a nearly decade-long friendship with David Cruz, her high school classmate, until the mid-1990s. "You get lucky, you have a first love like that," Cruz later wrote. Ojani Noa, a Cuban waiter, was married to Ojani Noa from February 1997 to January 1998. Noa was refused from releasing a book about their marriage or using a private honeymoon video of Lopez in a documentary. Lopez was involved in a on-off friendship with record producer and rapper Sean Combs (also known as "Puff Daddy") from 1999 to early 2001. After leaving the scene of a shooting at a Times Square nightclub on December 27, 1999, Lopez and Combs were arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a pistol and unlawful possession of a stolen house. Combs was cleared of all charges against Lopez within an hour, but Combs was not convicted of any charges at the time. They burst out shortly thereafter. Lopez later said that although she had "cared a lot" about Combs, their "intuitive, tumultuous" relationship "was always something I was worried about ending." Cris Judd, her former backup dancer, appeared on television from September 2001 to June 2002, she was married from September 2001 to June 2002.

Lopez was engaged with actor and filmmaker Ben Affleck from mid-2002 to early 2004 after divorcing Judd. Despite having crossed paths before (most notably at the 70th Academy Awards and the premiere of Armageddon in 1998), Gigli (2003) was the first major meeting on the grounds of Gigli (2003). They then collaborated on "Jenny from the Block" and the film Jersey Girl (2004), and later on the music video. This Is Me... Affleck's album This Is Me... Then was dedicated to and inspired by her. Their friendship was widely publicized. Both the couple were referred to as "Bennifer," according to a portmanteau Vanity Fair article titled "the first of that kind of tabloid branding." They got engaged in November 2002, but their planned wedding date was postponed with four days' notice on September 14, 2003, due to "excessive media attention." In January 2004, they ended their involvement. Lopez explained that Affleck's dissatisfaction with media scrutiny was one of the reasons for their split: "I think it's a good time, different thing, but there was a genuine love there."

Lopez was married to singer Marc Anthony from June 2004 to June 2014; the two had previously worked together and dated for a few months in the late 1990s. Their wedding took place five months after she's break with Affleck; she later referred to it as "a Band-Aid on the cut" and recalled a "rocky start" to the marriage. They collaborated on music and staged together during their marriage, as well as co-starring in El Cantante (2006). In February 2008, Lopez gave birth to fraternal twins, both a boy and a girl on Long Island. People paid US$6 million for the twins' first photographs, making them the most expensive celebrity photographs ever taken at the time. Anthony and Lopez bought a Miami Dolphins interest in 2009. In July 2011, the couple announced their separation. Anthony applied for divorce in April 2012, but it was finally settled in June 2014. The two children's primary physical custody of the two children was retained by Lopez. Lopez's daughter appears on occasion.

Lopez had an on-off relationship with her former backup dancer Casper Smart from October 2011 to August 2016. Alex Rodriguez, a baseball player for the New York Yankees, dated her from February 2017 to early 2021. They got engaged in March 2019 but had to cancel twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They released a statement in March 2021 that said they were "working through some things" in reaction to tabloid speculation about the state of their marriage. In April 2021, the two people announced that their friendship was to come an end.

Lopez and Affleck were reported to be dating again in April 2021, with Lopez announcing their rekindled love that July. They stayed in touch and had spoken highly of each other in the media in the years since they broke up. Both Affleck and Lopez have expressed delight in the gift of a second chance to work together after reuniting. Lopez's second engagement, 20 years after the first was announced on April 8, 2022, marked their second appearance. On July 16, 2022, they were married in Las Vegas. They held a wedding reception for families and friends the following month.

Career

Lopez's first professional career came in 1989, after she spent five months in Europe with the musical revue company Golden Musicals of Broadway. She was the only member of the chorus not to have a solo, and later referred to it as a pivotal moment in which she understood the importance of a "tough skin" in the entertainment industry. In 1990, she appeared alongside MC Hammer in a Yo! episode. MTV Raps and others travelled around Japan for four months as a chorus member in Synchronicity. She was hired as a backup dancer for New Kids on the Block's appearance of "Games" at the 1991 American Music Awards when she returned to the United States. She has toured around America with regional productions of the musicals Jesus Christ Superstar and Oklahoma. Lopez performed in music videos during this period, including Doug E. Fresh's "Summertime," Richard Rogers' "Can't Stop Loving You," EPMD's "Rampage" and Samantha Fox's "Hurt Me!"

Hurt Me!)

The Pants Rather Stay"

Lopez's most prominent work as a professional dancer was as a Fly Girl jazz-funk dancer on the sketch comedy television series In Living Color, which starred comedians including Jamie Foxx and Jim Carriery. When asked to repeatedly perform the dance routine, Rosie Perez, the show's choreographer, discovered Lopez had "star quality" and "did not complain, not once" at the New York audition. Lopez moved to Los Angeles in late 1991 for the film; she produced In Living Color during the day and attended acting classes taught by Aaron Speiser at night. The head of Virgin Records considered signing The Fly Girls as a girl group to rival the Spice Girls, but the offer fell apart. Lopez left to serve as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson and appeared in "That's the Way Love Goes" after appearing as a Fly Girl in seasons three and four of In Living Color. She had intended to tour with Jackson on her Janet World Tour in late 1993 but instead, she pursued an acting career.

Lopez's first professional acting work was in a small recurring role on the television show South Central (1994). A casting director who had seen her speak to camera during a behind-the-scenes In Living Color segment invited her to audition for the pilot. Lopez then hired an agent and was cast in CBS' show Second Chances and its spin-off Hotel Malibu. She appeared in the direct-to-video drama film Lost in the Wild (1993). Lopez, who appeared in Gregory Nava's 1995 film Mi Familia, received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Lopez appeared in the action comedy Money Train (1995). Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said she "mostly holds her own" with co-stars Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, while Stephen Holden of The New York Times praised her "scene-stealing charm." Lopez had a supporting role opposite Robin Williams in the comedy Jack in 1996. In the neo-noir drama Blood and Wine, she appeared opposite Jack Nicholson from 1997. Lopez was "used as a place marker rather than as a real person," according to Variety's David Rooney.

Lopez made her debut in the biopic Selena (1997) as the singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, earning the first Latina actress to earn $1 million and her first Golden Globe nomination. She was delighted by the rare opportunity to "actually star" in a film "in the title role," but she was angry that other Latina actors were not being given the same opportunities. Despite working with Mi Familia's producer before, Lopez participated in an extensive audition process and spent time with the late singer's family in Corpus Christi, Texas, before filming began. The Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert called it "a star-making performance" and especially loved the onstage scenes: "She has the celebrity presence to look convincing in front of 100,000 viewers." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times praised the "incandescent" results. Many people have deemed her performance worthy of a nomination at the Academy Awards over the years: "I felt she not only should have been nominated," director and writer Gregory Nava has said. Nava stayed so passionate about Lopez's results that he approached Warner Bros.'s president, at the time, and pleaded for an Academy nomination. "She deserves it," the Academy acknowledges, but she will not be named. They'll never nominate a Latina." Lopez appeared alongside Ice Cube in the horror film Anaconda later in 1997. Although Variety's Joe Leydon loved Anaconda "silly," the film deserved "a little" for being "the first film of its kind to have a Latina and an African-American" as its stars, according to Variety's Joe Leydon. Lopez appeared topless in a sex scene that was added by filmmaker Oliver Stone during filming in U Turn (1997). Lopez said that it was not something she and Stone would have done" and that she and Stone fought over it: "It's impossible to be the only woman on a set" when she first appeared in 2003. But it did work in the movie, too... Grace, this woman, had become a piece of flesh. Her body wasn't her own."

In the crime caper Out of Sight (1998), Lopez appeared opposite George Clooney and portrayed the same name in Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel of the same name. Lopez, who plays a deputy federal marshal who falls for a charming convict, has received raves for her performance. Janet Maslin of The New York Times described it as her "best film role so far" and that it would have been both seductiveness and grit; if it was difficult to imagine a hardworking, pistol-packing bombshell on the page, it couldn't be any simpler here." Lopez's film, according to Turan of the Los Angeles Times, "she has firmly established herself as a woman you can confidently build a film around." "Every actress in town read for that part," George Clooney said of her appearance in November 2020: "You should expect that she would shoot you and kill you." And Jennifer was aware of all of this. You know, she was really good at getting a rifle every minute. She was amazing in the film and it's funny because she's had an amazing career and gone on to do so many things, and really be an all-around entertainer, but I think that's a success. That really stands out for her." Lopez appeared in the animated film Antz in 1998, and Lopez also appeared in the film Antz.

Lopez began playing music in 1999 after Selena, because she had "the excitement of the show" and was "really feeling [her] Latin roots." Benny Medina, Lopez's current boss, wanted to position her as "a brand name that will carry over to all media." Lopez created a Spanish-language demo for use among prospective labels. Tommy Mottola, the head of Sony Music's Work Group, signed her, but she suggested that she perform in English instead. Even though Lopez's vocals are largely anonymous, her debut album On the 6, which was named after the 6 Subway line that connected her childhood home in the Bronx to Manhattan, was packed with what Ed Morales of the Los Angeles Times described as "state-of-the-art dance pop." The album was a hit, and Lopez's debut single, "If You Had My Love," debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 alongside another single, "Waiting for Tonight," debuting at number eight. Lopez and then-boyfriend Sean Combs attended the Grammy Awards in 2000, with Lopez wearing a plunging green Versace silk chiffon gown. The dress attracted worldwide notice and became Google's most common search query, leading to the design of Google Images. Lopez appeared on the big screen in 2000, starring in the psychological thriller The Cell. Slate's David Edelstein said that the "imperious" Lopez was "trying to appear waifishly eager," while Amy Taubin of The Village Voice added that she was "engaged" in "some sort of pouting competition" "in lieu of acting," rather than acting."

When Lopez's debut, the romantic comedy The Wedding Planner, co-starring Matthew McConaughey, and her sophomore album J.Lo were released in the same week, she became the first woman to have a number one film and album simultaneously. While there was "no doubt of Lopez's screen presence or acting chops," she should select comedic projects with "more bite," according to Bob Graham of the San Francisco Chronicle. Jessica Winter of The Village Voice found her "bewilderingly miscast" as a "buttoned down, celibate" woman, saying the film "achieves the somewhat surprising feat of neutering Jennifer Lopez, which is a 90-minute duration. J.Lo's album received mixed feedback. "While dance pop doesn't necessarily require great singers, Lopez is just scraping by," Rolling Stone's Jon Pareles said. J.Lo's career ended with the singles "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and "I'm Real," the latter of which reached number one in the United States, and the former was the best-selling collection of her career. Lopez began J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez's clothing line, and she starred opposite Jim Caviezel in the romantic drama Angel Eyes in 2001. Lopez's appearance was well-reviewed, with Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle describing her as "an actress who can do things that other movie actresses can't do." She doesn't push, just thinks, and her thoughts and emotions are integrated into the film."

In 2002, the romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan, in which Lopez starred opposite Ralph Fiennes, became the highest-grossing film of her career. A. O. Scott of The New York Times praised Lopez as a romantic lead and said "her best talent as an actress — and the primary to her brain-addling sexiness — could be her ability to melt without cracking the hard shell of composure she wears." In Enough, she appeared as an abused wife seeking revenge. While filming it, an overworked Lopez suffered a nervous breakdown in 2001. "Good stuff" had pounded Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times and was surprised to see "an actress like Jennifer Lopez" working on the project. The A.V.'s Nathan Rabin Lopez's "idiocy works on her resume," the club said.

In 2002, Lopez released two albums. J to tha L'O, the first was a remix album. Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, and P Diddy appear on the Remixes, a series of rappers. It debuted on the Billboard 200, with its lead single "Murder Remix")" debuting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. This Is Me... Then, Lopez's third studio album, was released in late 2002. The Village Voice's Jon Caramanica was unimpressed by her studio-enhanced vocals and expressed surprise at how the "mega-millionaire Bronx-expat public-fantasy bombshell" was "making the least interesting pop charts today," according to Jon Caramanica of The Village Voice. Despite having the highest opening sales of Lopez's career, the album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200. The album's lead single, "Jenny from the Block," debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album's second single, "All I Have," debuted at number one. Lopez founded Madre's, a Los Angeles restaurant that serves Latin cuisine, in 2002 and launched her first perfume, Glow by JLo. It's now the most popular fragrance in the United States, and Lopez has since launched over 18 fragrances as part of a Coty licensing agreement.

Lopez became a target of widespread media mockery in 2003 because of her public ties with Affleck and her tabloid portrayal of her as a demanding diva. In the episode "Fat Butt and Pancake Head," her apparent diva behavior and friendship with Affleck was also parodied on South Park. The Guardian published an article investigating her "bilious" media coverage, with journalist Lawrence Donegan arguing that "indefensible" misogyny and bigotry were to blame for her status as "the most vilified woman in modern popular culture." Lopez sacked both her personal manager Benny Medina and her publicist in mid-2003; the New York Times announced that movie executives had been "largely filter" into Lopez, which had made them ill; the New York Times reported that. She became the face of Louis Vuitton's fall-winter advertising campaign and appeared opposite Affleck in the romantic comedy Gigli (2003). The film was a box-office bomber and is considered one of the worst films of all time. The lead actors were chastised by Rex Reed of The Observer, who wrote that the film reminds the world how "pathetically incompetent they both are in the only two areas that matter in career longevity - craft and talent." Roger Ebert said that the movie "didn't work," but that Lopez and Affleck's "appealing in their roles" and that they "have chemistry" together, which is not true. In the film Jersey Girl (2004), Lopez had a minor role opposite Affleck. Lopez's screen time was cut off in the aftermath of test audiences' scathing reactions to the onscreen couple. Lopez later referred to this as the lowest point of her career and said she was "evicted" by Gigli's media coverage: "I lost my sense of self, asked if I was involved in this industry, and assumed I did suck at everything," the reporter wrote. In front of the entire world, my love destructed. "It was a two-year absence for me before I picked myself up again." Lopez founded Sweetface, her second fashion label, and starred opposite Richard Gere in the romantic comedy-drama Shall We Dance, which was a box-office smash.

The marketing for her romantic comedy Monster-in-Law (2005), in which Lopez starred opposite Jane Fonda, boosted her "Gigli-and-tabloid tarnished image," and it became a box office hit. In early 2005, she recorded Rebirth, her fourth studio album. "I had just gotten married [to singer Marc Anthony]... It was recorded during a time when Lopez felt "a little lost, trying to get my footing back to a new life." I wasn't with Benny [Medina]]" The Guardian's Alexis Petridis said that the album title "suggests that even Lopez has discovered that something is wrong with her career." With the highlights, you're still left wondering, "What happened to Jennifer Lopez?" Despite the fact that the album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and its lead single "Get Right" debuted at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, the second and final single "Hold You Down" peaked at number 64, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and its lead single "Get Right" charted at number ten. She debuted at number four on "Control Myself," the lead single from LL Cool J's twelfth studio album, when she was back in the Billboard Hot 100 the following year, when she was a featured artist on "Control Myself."

Lopez's next three film ventures were box office setbacks. In the film An Unfinished Life (2005), she appeared alongside Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman. The Chicago Sun-Times predicted that Jennifer Lopez would have no love for her because she is going through a period in which no one is content with what she does... Allow Lopez permission to be well again; she is the same actress now as when we first noticed her so young and fine. She reunited with Gregory Nava, the producer of both Mi Familia and Selena, in 2006 as a journalist investigating female murders in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The film was largely disregarded and was released in a direct-to-video format. Lopez, according to David D'Arcy of Screen Daily, is "unconvincing" as a journalist. She appeared alongside her then-husband Marc Anthony in El Cantante, a music biopic that told the tale of Puerto Rican salsa singer Héctor Lavoe and his partner Puchi. Lopez later expressed keen interest in her work in it, and it was also the first film she directed. Even if El Cantante did not do well at the overall box office, it is nevertheless the twentieth-largest musical biopic of all time. Film commentators gave the film mixed feedback. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called it her "most mannered, least relaxed, and most convincing performance to date." A.O. Larry Lopez's appearance was lauded by The New York Times, who said it had "a lot of fight" with "a tough, skeptical edge" that made Puchi "more interesting and plausible than her husband." Lopez received the Premios Juventud Award for Best Actress for her role.

In 2007, Lopez released two studio albums. Como Ama Mujer, her fifth album, was the first to be released entirely in Spanish. Lopez can sing, according to Entertainment Weekly's Chris Willman, but was unimpressed by the album's "flaccid torch songs." The lead single "Qué Hiciste" debuted at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the second single "Me Haces Falta" fell to number ten, with the Billboard Hot 100 ranked at number 86. Lopez's sixth studio album Brave, which was released later this year, was her lowest-charting album on record. Lopez had returned to "listless vocals" on her "back-to-the-floor album," according to Entertainment Weekly's Jonathan Bernstein. The album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, and two singles, "Do It Well" and "Hold It Don't Drop It," followed. On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the first reached number 31 while the latter failed to chart. Lopez started her first live concert tour in September 2007, a show co-headlined by Anthony in September 2007. She also produced, produced, and appeared in the MTV show DanceLife.

Lopez took a career break after giving birth to twins in February 2008. Madre's restaurant Madre has closed permanently, as have her two fashion collections. Lopez, the former boss of Medina, performed two songs, "Louboutins" and "Fresh Out of the Oven," after rehiring former manager Medina. The songs had been planned for her seventh studio album but she was unable to appear on Billboard charts, resulting in her removal from Sony Music and Epic Records. Lopez's first theater appearance in three years was in the romantic comedy The Back-Up Plan (2010). The film's director, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times, was unimpressed by the film's success, describing Lopez as "an attractive screen presence with a poor big-screen track record." Well, it's probably not her fault: The bland or the blonde's romantic roles for women are often the source of the woman's feminine "produce."

Lopez's career came to an end in 2011 when she served on the judging panel of the singing competition show American Idol. She started the job at a time when she was "not getting a whole lot of movies" and the show brought her back to prominence. "Idol humanized her," Forbes' Hannah Elliot said of it as a "extraordinary comeback." Viewers who only knew an attention-grabbing siren met a hardworking, self-made, empathetic single mother, who became emotional when contestants did well and then failed." She resurfaced as a judge for the eleventh season, making a reported $20 million and then again for the thirteenth season, earning a reported $17.5 million. She began her L'Oréal, Venus, and Fiat brand ambassadorship and launched the Jennifer Lopez Collection, a clothing and homeware line for Kohl's with Tommy Hilfiger.

Lopez's seventh studio album, Love?, was released in early 2011. Although the album itself was a moderately commercial success, the single "On the Floor" was one of the year's most popular songs. It debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her most top-charging single since "All I Have." Dance Again... the Hits, Lopez's best hits album, was released in mid-2012 to fulfill her contractual obligations with her old label Epic Records. Lopez, who was divorcing Anthony and coping with the "breakup of a family," felt as if the album's sole single, "Dance Again," had arrived at her "right time." The song "Dance Again" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 17 on the Top 100. In mid-2012, Lopez launched the Dance Again World Tour, her first headlining concert tour. It earned more than $1 million per show. Teeology, a luxury T-shirt company, was also launched in 2005.

Lopez returned to the big screen in 2012, starring an ensemble cast in the film What to Expect When You Expecting, which is based on the novel of the same name. In the animated film Ice Age: Continental Drift, Lopez's fourth film in the Ice Age series, he played Shira, a saber tooth tiger.

Also in 2012, a talent show, ¡Q'Viva!

The Chosen visited Lopez, Anthony, and director-choreographer Jamie King in Latin America to discover new talent for a Las Vegas show. Lopez appeared in Leslie's crime drama in 2013 alongside Jason Statham. Her performances received praise, with Chicago Tribune lauding Lopez's role for giving Lopez "the opportunity to be spectacular, romantic, funny, depressed, euphoric, and violent." The audience follows her all the way." Lopez became the chief creative officer of nuvoTV and founded Viva Móvil, the Spanish smartphone store. She was an executive producer of The Fosters, the television show.

A.K.A. Lopez's eighth studio album, A.K.A., was released in mid-2014 by Capitol Records, but it did not have high sales. "I Luh Ya Papi" features French Montana, "First Love," and "Booty" featuring Iggy Azalea, the album's third singles. On the Billboard Hot 100, they reached 77, 87, and 18 respectively. "We Are One (Ole Ola), Lopez's official song for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, joined by Pitbull and Claudia Leitte earlier this year. Lopez collaborated with Endless Jewelry on a variety of jewelry and published True Love, a New York Times best-seller.

The Boy Next Door, an erotic thriller that Lopez both co-produced and starred in as a high school teacher who becomes concerned with a student, resulting in his unhealthy obsession with her. Critics also gave the film scathing praise. Despite this, it was her most commercial debut at the box office since Monster-in-Law. Lopez appeared on Home's animated film "Feel the Light" and contributed to the film's official soundtrack. Lopez appeared in Lila & Eve, alongside Viola Davis, in the independent drama film Lila & Eve.

All I Have, Lopez's residency concert performance at the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas from 2016 to 2018, was a performance by Lopez in Las Vegas's All I Have. During the three-year run, she appeared at 120 shows, grossing more than $100 million in ticket sales. Lopez signed a multi-album contract with her former employer Epic Records, but she decided to release "Ain't Your Mama," "Ni T' Ni Yo," "Amor, Amor," "El Anillo," "El Anillo," DJ Khaled and Cardi B." On the Billboard Hot 100, the top charting of these was "Ain't Your Mama" and "Dinero," respectively, while the former's music video received more than 800 million views on YouTube. Lopez created a capsule collection of shoes and jewelry in collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti, and introduced a limited-edition makeup collection in collaboration with Inglot Cosmetics.

Critical feedback for the second Act, but it did well at the box office, grossing $72.3 million during its theatrical run.

Lopez appeared in Hustlers (2019), for which she also worked as an executive producer, and that generated over US$100 million in North American box office receipts alone. Lorene Scafaria's film is based on a true tale about a group of Manhattan strippers who con a wealthy man. Critics lauded Lopez' portrayal of a veteran stripper in Hustlers, with some describing it as the best performance of her acting career. Lopez received her awards for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics' Choice Movie Awards, and Independent Spirit Awards, but she was denied a nomination at the Academy Awards. Various media outlets have characterized Hustlers' resurgent as an actor for Lopez. She was announced as the brand's global star and introduced a line of sunglasses with the brand Quay Australia.
