It’s no secret Jennifer Lopez got her start on “In Living Color” as a Flygirl. But to hear Rosie Perez tell it, she wasn’t discovered by Keenan Ivory Wayans and, in fact, Wayans didn’t want J-Lo dancing on the set at all.
ROSIE Perez is taking credit for discovering Jennifer Lopez when the fly girl on “In Living Color” was just Jenny from the block. In the November issue of Out magazine, Perez told Michael Musto, “I’m the one that hired Jennifer Lopez, even though she tells everyone Keenan Ivory Wayans was. He didn’t want her because she was overweight and didn’t dance well, but I said, ‘She has star quality.’ “
Now, I remember J.Lo looking a lot different back then but I don’t remember her being overweight, she was curvy and that’s really not a bad thing.
