Top 10 Untold Truths Of Jennifer Lopez That Made Her JLo!
An unflappable icon of fame, gracing the tabloids regularly thanks to her jet-setting lifestyle, career endeavors, and multiple marriages, Jennifer Lopez lives her life in the public eye. But that’s not her whole life or whole self. Here are some things you may not have known about the superstar known as JLo.
While it’s common knowledge that Jim Carrey got his first big taste of fame as a cast member on Fox’s edgy early ’90s sketch comedy show In Living Color, it’s less commonly known that Jennifer Lopez got her big break there, too. No, she didn’t play any wacky characters or imitate celebrities in sketches, she was among the Fly Girls, the show’s in-house troupe of hip-hop dancers who busted out moves during transitional moments and over the credits.
In 2004, Inside Edition uncovered a November 1990 tape of dancers auditioning to be Fly Girls for choreographer Rosie Perez. While Lopez made it to the final round of four dancers, she lost the one open spot to a fellow dancer. Undeterred, she auditioned again in 1991. That time, she made the cut, staying with In Living Color through 1993.
She kept busy with other dance gigs, too, appearing in music videos for artists like Janet Jackson. In 2015, Lopez opened the American Music Awards by leading a couple dozen dancers as they grooved their way through some of the year’s biggest hits. That was a full circle moment for JLo, who at the 1991 AMA ceremony, danced in support of New Kids on the Block.
