Jennifer Lopez As Anita From West Side Story

Jennifer Lopez strikes a pose as sassy and defiant Latina immigrant Anita, one of the characters from the 1961 film version of West Side Story.

Jlo says she watched the film “37 times” when she was a child growing up in the Bronx. She adds:

“I never wanted to be that wimpy Maria, who sits around pining for her guy. I wanted to be Anita, who danced her way to the top.”

West Side Story is now playing on Broadway. Tickets are available.

In more news on Jennifer, she is rumored to be involved in the big screen adaptation of the Broadway hit In The Heights.
