Jennifer Lopez's artistic and personal achievements-as an actress, singer and L'Oreal spokesmodel-have finally managed to overshadow her much-discussed and much-admired derrier (she gained the nickname 'La Guitara' because of her curvaceous body). The shapely-but-fit Lopez and her whispery sex kitten voice stole scenes from Sean Penn and Nick Nolte in U-Turn and created some truly intense screen chemistry with George Clooney in Out of Sight. In 1999, she released her first album, On the 6, and watched it go five times platinum. Then, in 2000, Lopez enjoyed her first big-time blockbuster with The Cell, a surrealistic psychological thriller for which she was paid $4 million, topping her own record as the highest-paid Hispanic actress ever. And she topped herself again by pulling in $9 million each for her roles in The Wedding Planner (opposite the luscious Matthew McConaughey) and Angel Eyes! She sizzles with McConaughey and her other onscreen costars, but, until sometime in 2001, her off-screen leading man was media mogul Sean 'Puffy' Combs ('sometime in 2001' because the two reportedly parted long before rumors of their breakup began to surface-but Puffy solved the riddle with his Valentine's Day announcement confirming their split). Now engaged to actor Ben Affleck, this one-time In Living Color Fly Girl has quite a shining future ahead. Let's see what the Stars have to say about it ...

Birth Details:

July 24, 1970

Bronx, New York

Born under a Sun right on the cusp of Cancer and Leo, Jennifer Lopez is the dynamic mix of these two astrological influences-a forceful combination of emotion and action. While Cancer is a Water Sign-caring and sentimental-Leo is a Fire Sign intent on action and gaining acclaim.

Those fortunate enough to be born on this Cancer/Leo cusp will be adored by most because they roar forth with the Lion's ferocious vigor and Cancer's soft, sensitive touch and expressive affection. A joy to behold, they can rouse a crowd once they get the attention they're always seeking.

It's after they've gotten your attention with that Leo gregariousness that you notice that their message is Cancerian in nature: empathetic, even inspirational. Though her films are dramatic and often removed from real life, though her songs are all about love and glamour, Lopez's Connection with her audience-especially with her young Latina fans-is intimate and full of pride. As the highest-paid Latin American actress ever and as an actress who calls her own shots and makes her own demands, she's become a role model for legions of young women. The actress has said that her friends and staff all call her 'Ma.' 'I'm the motherly type,' Lopez acknowledges, tipping her hat to a Cancer influence that, though not immediately visible in her chart, is very much a part of who she is.
