  • Jennifer Lopez's Career: J. Lows and Highs Tuesday, April 20, 2010 4:57
    Norwalk Reflector Front Page 1 of 3 NorwalkReflector.com Front Article Jennifer Lopez’s career: J. lows and highs By Frank Lovece - Newsday (MCT) Tuesday, April 20, 2010 4:57 PM EDT Dancer-singer-actress Jennifer Lopez hadn’t danced, sung or acted much since taking time off to have kids — though since People reportedly paid her and husband Marc Anthony $4 million to $6 million in 2008 to parade them on a magazine cover, it’s ironically the most successful thing she’s done in years. Before her hiatus, she had a string of flop movies, a single that didn’t crack the Billboard Top 10, and an American Music Award downshift from favorite pop/rock female artist in 2003 to the more niche favorite Latin artist in 2007. Oh, and her record label just dropped her. Now the 40-year-old star is calibrating a comeback that has included guest appearances on “How I Met Your Mother,” “Saturday Night Live” and reportedly an upcoming episode of “Glee,” all to support her romantic comedy “The Back-Up Plan,” opening Friday. And in the meantime, with businesses encompassing everything from music to movies to a clothing line to a Cuban restaurant, she’s the ninth-richest woman in entertainment, says Forbes magazine, which in 2007 estimated her net worth at $110 million. So, shed no tears for her career. Dancer-singer-actress or waitress-writer-dog walker, we all have our highs and lows. Here are hers: _Fledgling 1986-1993 After her film debut as a teen in the 1986 indie drama “My Little Girl,” she went on to gain a toehold as a professional dancer.
