Breakout Roles: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez, 41

Before she accepted a job as Matthew McConaughey's wedding planner in 2001 (heck, even before she worked as a maid in Manhattan in 2002), Jennifer Lopez wowed critics and audiences alike with a dynamic portrayal of Selena Quintanilla-Perez in the 1997 biopic, Selena. Lopez received a Best Actress Golden Globe nomination for her work in the film and critic Roger Ebert called the role a "star-making" performance for the Puerto Rican actress.
