Jennifer Lynn Affleck (born July 24, 1969) is an American singer, actress, and dancer better known as J.Lo. She began appearing as a Fly Girl dancer on the sketch comedy television series In Living Color in 1991, and she remained a regular until 1993 when she decided to pursue an acting career.
Lopez’s first professional job was touring Europe with the musical revue show Golden Musicals of Broadway for five months in 1989. She was the only member of the chorus who did not have a solo, and she later described it as a watershed moment in her career when she realized the value of having “tough skin” in the entertainment industry. She danced alongside MC Hammer in an episode of Yo! MTV Raps in 1990 and spent four months touring Japan as a chorus member in Synchronicity. She was hired as a backup dancer for New Kids on the Block’s performance of “Games” at the 1991 American Music Awards when she returned to the United States. But the pants stay on.” She also toured the country with regional productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and Oklahoma! Lopez also appeared in music videos such as Doug E. Fresh’s “Summertime,” Richard Rogers’ “Can’t Stop Loving You,” EPMD’s “Rampage,” and Samantha Fox’s “(Hurt Me! Hurt Me!) But the Pants Stay On” during this time period.
Lopez rose to prominence as a Fly Girl jazz-funk dancer on the sketch comedy television series In Living Color, which starred comedians such as Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey. The show’s choreographer, Rosie Perez, noticed Lopez had “star quality” and “did not complain, not once” when asked to perform the dance routine repeatedly at the New York audition. Lopez relocated to Los Angeles for the job in late 1991, where she worked on In Living Color during the day and attended acting classes taught by Aaron Speiser at night. The Fly Girls were being considered for signing by the head of Virgin Records as a girl group to compete with the Spice Girls, but the deal fell through. Lopez left In Living Color after appearing as a Fly Girl in seasons three and four to work as Janet Jackson’s backup dancer. She also made an appearance in the “That’s the Way Love Goes” music video. She was originally going to join Jackson on her Janet World Tour in late 1993, but she decided to focus on her acting career.
