Jennifer Lopez is looking back at some of the moments of her career in Hollywood. The multi-talented star is known for her hit songs, iconic movies, and incredible performances. Speaking at Elle Women in Hollywood, JLo shared her thoughts about receiving her fifth Icon Award.
“I don’t have an Oscar. And I don’t have a Golden Globe. And I don’t have a Grammy or a SAG Award or a BAFTA or a Critics Choice or a Hollywood Film Award,” she said on Monday night. “But this is my fifth Icon Award,” JLo added, “Of all the things that I thought I would grow up to be when I was a little girl, the last thing you know I was gonna have on my list was icon.”

And then I started making movies and then records and then creating my brand somehow and companies that each step of the way,” she continued. “And each transition, there seemed to be tremendous opposition, both literal like physical and emotional, to the idea that you could do many different things and be taken seriously,” Jennifer concluded.
