Jennifer Lopez on ‘Unstoppable,’ ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman,’ and Playing Empowered Characters: ‘From the Minute Women Are Born, We’re Always Having to Prove Ourselves’


Jennifer Lopez talks about her performances in 'Unstoppable' and 'Kiss of the Spider Woman,' as well as her attraction to strong female characters.

“Unstoppable” has scored Lopez some of the best reviews of her career, reminding audiences that “Jenny from the Block” is a talented, nuanced performer, in addition to being a pop icon. Lopez play Aurora, a classic screen siren who exists in the imagination of Luis Molina, a gay hairdresser, who retreats into fantasies while trapped in an Argentine prison. Aurora and Judy Robles are part of a long line of empowered, flinty protagonists that Lopez has played in films as diverse as “Out of Sight,” “Selena” and “Hustlers.” There’s a reason she’s drawn to that type of role.
