Jennifer Lopez says fame hurt her career. “In the beginning, I was a blank slate. I got to work with all these great directors because I was just a girl who came in there and did well in the audition,” Lopez says, reports World Entertainment News Network. “Then when I became famous, I was being offered movies that I could star in but that's all I was being offered.
