Promising newcomer Jennifer Lopez

Do you know how old Jennifer Lopez is?

She's 56.

Do you know how long Jennifer Lopez has been famous?

About 30 years. Her first big movie, Money Train, came out in 1995, and Selena was two years after that. And this is to say nothing of her music career, which started a bit after that and is likely the thing that has made her the most famous. 

And yet Hoyts, in their incomparable wisdom, has seen it fit to put the following advertisement on my phone for Kiss of the Spider Woman, the remake of Hector Babenco's 1985 film starring Sonia Braga, Raul Julia and William Hurt:


Yes that describes her performance as "an extraordinary, star-making performance."

Like her or don't like her, it doesn't matter. If Jennifer Lopez is not already a star, then I don't know who is.
