Jenny from the Block’s song “Waiting for Tonight” was the first song played at my wedding reception.
Good share Dan. WoC and I got married on the beach so we did not have any music at all. I can share, that when I saw her DVD rack for the very first time, and it had Judd Nelson’s From The Hip, that I was very impressed.
Jenny from the Block has never been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list. These are the actors on the December 15, 2018 she has appeared with.

Hey Dan….good stuff as always I would have been surprised if she was on the Oracle list. Granted her movie output is much higher than I was expecting. Looking at the Oracle list…it does not appear she works too often with the same stars…looks like two is the most…and that is a few people. I would say 17 Oscar winning stars is a decent total for her. Blood and Wine let her work with two of my favorites..Jack and Mike. Thanks for sharing this information.
By quantitative and monetary yardsticks of success nowadays, Jennifer Lopez [J LO] is in the “mega” class. IMDB credits her with 45 acting awards and 137 nominations and according to Celebrity Net Worth her wealth today stands at an amazing $400 million. The only actress I can immediately remember who equals that sum is my Babs [Streisand] with $400 million.
To put those figures in context – Julia Roberts $200 million, Gimme More $150 million and Queen Myrna at the time of her death in 1966, $16 million which is worth approx. $125 million today according to the US Bureau of Labor Stats.
I have seen 8 of the above listed films and I am afraid that my two personal favorites are not flattered in Bruce’s charts- Enough and Angle Eyes with 42% and 50% review ratings respectively. However I liked her in them.
It seems from the above tables that J LO’s last two serious box office grossers as a normal lead actress were in 2004/05’s Shall We Dance and Monster in Law, which worldwide earned respectively $245 million and $218 million in adjusted grosses. Since then her only three box office hits have been the animated features Ice Age: Continental Drift [2012] Ice Age Collision Course [2016] and Home [2015] in all of which she had voice only roles among large ensemble casts.
According to Bruce he didn’t even closely consider her for inclusion in his 25 Greatest Females Legends 1950-2010 but certainly she deserves this new page. “Voted Up!”
Hey Bob….thanks for the movie thoughts on Jennifer Lopez. I agree with your comment 100%. I thought Angel Eyes and Enough were decent movies, so I would have personally rated them slightly higher. I am sure her singing career helped her reach that hefty net worth. Good comparison stats. Good feedback as always.
HI BRUCE:
Thanks for feedback. I agree with you about Jennifer’s singing career. In fact the two female entertainers with the highest net worth that I can recall are [as I have already mentioned] J LO and my Babs, who also had a massively successful singing career – even getting to sing with Brando via clever use of footage from Guys and Dolls! I have never actually heard J LO sing.
I have seen 2 Jennifer Lopez films: Shall We Dance which is a favourite of mine and Maid in Manhattan. Happy birthday.
Hey Flora….thanks for checking out Jennifer Lopez’s page on her 50th birthday. I have seen and enjoyed Maid in Manhattan. I have not seen her version of Shall We Dance……but many people love that one. I have seen the original that the movie was based on….and that was a good movie. Good feedback as always.
I was staring at J-Lo’s derrière in today’s paper wondering who the sexy young lady was and was surprised to read it belonged to 50 year old Jennifer Lopez! 🙂
I’ve seen 9 of the 31 films listed on the chart. Favorites are – Anaconda, Antz, Ice Age and Out of Sight.
I haven’t seen – Jack, Maid in Manhattan, Shall We Dance or The Wedding Planner.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….thanks for checking out our Jennifer Lopez birthday page. I have seen 24 of her movies…I had no idea she had made that many movies and that I had seen that many of her movies. I have actually not seen all of Anaconda…but I did enjoy your other three favorite Lopez movies. Shall We Dance seems to have a huge following….I have not seen the remake with Lopez and Gere…but have seen the original one…thanks Roger Ebert…as he loved the original. Thanks for the vote up. Good stuff.
J-Lo is 50? Wow! Nice tribute to her.
Hey Taylor….yep she is now in the 50 plus club….she is aging very nicely……so I am sure when she reaches the 60 plus club people will be equally impressed. Thanks for the kind words….Happy Birthday to Jennifer Lopez.
