Biography
| Jennifer's father, David, was a computer technician and her parents were born in Puerto Rico but did not meet until both came to America. Her mother's parents were Europeans who settled in Puerto Rico and she says that it was her parents' work ethic that made a difference in her life. Jennifer took singing and dancing lessons from age 5 and she attended 12 years of Catholic school including an all-girl high school. She played softball and tennis in high school and was a gymnast. After high school, she briefly worked in a law office and during this time she continued dance classes at night. At age 18 she left home because her mother was scared by her decision to pursue show business. After being chosen to appear on "In Living Color" (1990) in 1990, she moved to L.A., but initially hated it but finally after her boy friend, David Cruz moved to be with her there and she learned to accept her new environment. Her career took off from her "Living Color" stint and reached new peaks with her portrayal of slain Latino singer Selena (1997) in 1997. |
