Jennifer Lopez in ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’
In a November interview with Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, Lopez opened up about the movie, calling it “the most challenging and rewarding role I’ve ever had.” “It’s a dark story, but also one about love and survival — about helping each other through hard times,” Lopez said.
“I think that’s a message we really need right now.” She went on to explain that Kander was with her in the studio when she recorded her songs. “He’s [98] years old and still so full of life,” Lopez said. “Hearing him say, ‘I’ve never heard this song sung better’ — it was one of the best moments of my career.”
