Jennifer Lopez financed singing and dancing lessons from the age of 16. After she dropped out of college after one semester, Jennifer Lopez pursued dancing full-time. She split her time between her job at a law office, taking dance classes, and dancing in Manhattan clubs at night. Though she did not, and still does not, drink alcohol, her parents disapproved of her working nights so far from home and feared she was associating with a dangerous crowd. She moved out of the house in protest of her parents and literally lived on the floor of the dance studio for many years until she could pay rent with occasional work as a dancer. After months and months of auditioning for dance gigs, she got her first spot and started out in television as a video girl for various rap artists, and a guest spot on the American Music Awards. Her first regular high profile gig was as a fly girl dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1991 after being twice rejected. She then left the show after two seasons due to friction with another dancer. López had a small role in a short-lived television program South Central. She also found television work in Second Chances and Hotel Malibu and the made-for-TV movie Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7. She danced for Janet Jackson in Jackson's video for the song "That's The Way Love Goes" in 1993. López broke onto the big screen in 1995, in the drama My Family/Mi Familia and opposite Wesley Snipes in the action film Money Train. She appeared in tghe Francis Ford Coppola 1996 comedy Jack opposite Robin Williams, and the 1997 thriller Blood and Wine with Jack Nicholson. After a nationwide search of tens of thousands of women, Jennifer Lopez was chosen to play the lead role in the film Selena. In 1998, the Golden Globe Awards organization nominated her for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy for her performance. She is also known for her role in Maid in Manhattan. Jennifer Lopez has also broken into designing perfumes and clothing ranges under her singing persona Jlo which is gaining in popularity.
