- "I've had a career, I swear, like no other actress—Latina or not," Jennifer Lopez once told Vibe magazine. "When I think of who I've worked with—Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola, Sean Penn—I freak out." From the time she was a young child, Lopez wanted to be a star—in spite of the near absence of Latina role models in Hollywood. Driven and ambitious, Lopez worked hard to be taken seriously as a leading lady and struggled to overcome the barrier of being typecast in ethnic roles. "There aren't a lot of parts for [Latinas], and we're not generally considered for other roles that aren't race specific," she explained to Jeffrey Ressner of Time magazine. "It's starting to change a little bit, but we're still treated like foreigners who just got here because we're not white." Now the most handsomely paid Latina in Hollywood history, Lopez has put a great deal of thought into making the right career choices. "I've been careful with what I've selected," she explained in an E! Online interview. "There were projects I could've done for the money because I was broke, but I always felt I had a chance at a better, longer career."
