Jennifer Lopez is an idealist and an actress--one of Puerto Rican descent--who is convinced she can transcend the stereotypes mainstream Hollywood tends to attach to her heritage.
"You have to be able to change your voice," says Lopez, who steps into the pop music limelight this month with her starring role in Warner Bros' Selena. The musical biopic covers the short, but dynamic, life and career of the top-selling Tejano singer who was gunned down by an unstable member of her own entourage. "Selena was a Texas girl and a Mexican, but she had a strong Texas twang and didn't have a Spanish accent like some people think."
Lopez hopes to touch her own audience with her forthcoming performance alongside Ice Cube in April'sAnaconda. Next up is Oliver Stone's film noir thriller Stray Dogs, and she recently appeared in Bob Rafelson's Blood & Wine opposite Jack Nicholson.
