JLo participated in Vanity Fair’s photo homage to classic Broadway musical made Hollywood classic movie West Side Story. Who was she? Well, Anita no less!

Posing for a glossy, starlet-studded photoshoot with Vanity Fair, Lopez admits, “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.” That’s because it’s almost how J.Lo’s career happened, except with more spray-tan and highlights.

Well put! I wonder what Rita Moreno would think. More importantly, what do you think?

Check out the whole series (featuring a ton of B-list actors) at Vanity Fair.
