Jennifer Lopez, or the self-styled Jenny from the Block, and her legendary booty is just about the biggest latina star there has ever been. Since her first leading role in the Selena biopic in 1997, she has netted an estimated career earnings over $400 million from acting, singing, endorsements and any number of other strings to her bow. Born in New York City on 24 July 1969, her Puerto Rican parents were against their daughter trying to join the entertainment business and now find her the most influential Hispanic performer on the planet. Not bad for little Jenny from the Block! She's not so little either any more, measuring in at a luscious 34C-26-40.
