About This Quiz

Is there anything Jennifer Lopez can't do? She has appeared in more than three dozen films, sold over 80 million records and released numerous clothing and fragrance lines. In between all of these successes, she has managed to find time to raise two kids, enjoy several high-profile romantic relationships (remember the "Bennifer" years?), and even established a charitable foundation. That's a level of hard work and determination you don't see every day, even in the high-powered world of Hollywood.

But it's clear J.Lo was driven from the start. Born and raised in New York City's Bronx borough, she began singing and taking dancing lessons when she was 5 years old. By the time she was 7, she was touring the city with her school. After graduating from high school, the determined performer put in years of hard work as a backup dancer before she started to land roles on TV and film. Throughout it all, Lopez never gave up on her dream, and slowly but surely, her star began to rise. Today, she is the highest-paid Latina actress in Hollywood!
