I first featured Jennifer Lopez in June 2012, and she's been rather selective in choosing movie roles since then. She has become one of those actresses who can pick roles perfectly - because she's that much of an icon.
One of her most interesting roles was a teacher who has a one-night stand with a younger man while separated form her husband in the 2015 thriller movie The Boy Next Door; the young man then develops a fatal attraction to her. As of this writing, her most recent movie is a comedy: Second Act, about a middle-aged woman (played by our heroine) who starts a new career as a corporate consultant based on a fake résumé.
In addition, Jennifer Lopez is a producer. She was the executive producer of "The Fosters," a TV series about an interracial lesbian couple and their foster children, which starred Teri Polo, my favorite actress of my own generation and an earlier honoree on this blog. The series wrapped up in 2018 after five successful seasons; it was Teri Polo's first bona fide hit show. Because she saved Teri Polo's career, Jennifer Lopez is a woman I tolerate no criticism of.
Jennifer Lopez turns fifty in July 2019, but obviously you'd never know it. :-)
And if I had to pick a favorite Jennifer Lopez record - she's put out eight albums - it would have to be "Waiting For Tonight," if only because the idea of a woman like J-Lo waiting for the night when I'd be there in her arms is too tempting for any man to want to pass up! :-D
Next up for Ms. Lopez: playing Rosie Alvarez in a live television production of Bye Bye Birdie. :-)
