Mumbai, April 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Over two decades later, actress\u2013singer Jennifer Lopez says she still thinks about her character Marisa Ventura from the 2002 romantic comedy film \u201cMaid in Manhattan\u201d helmed by Wayne Wang.<\/p>\n

Jennifer shared a string of pictures and videos from the film on Instagram. It featured memorable scenes, the iconic peach dress and even moments from the shoot of the film.<\/p>\n

For the caption, Lopez wrote: \u201cTwenty-something years later and I still think about Marisa Ventura. A single mom who moved through marble lobbies and thread-count sheets that weren\u2019t hers\u2026but carried herself like they could be.\u201d<\/p>\n

She revealed that \u201cMaid in Manhattan\u201d started as a script called \u201cThe Chambermaid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopez added: \u201c @egt239 and I reached out to Wayne Wang and together we dreamed up a girl with her nose pressed to the snow globe of Manhattan. A girl from the Bronx, playing a girl from the Bronx, who dared to dream bigger than her zip code.\u201d<\/p>\n

She tagged herself as \u201cso lucky\u201d as she got to share that set with \u201cNatasha Richardson, Bob Hoskins, Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Tyler Posey and Amy Sedaris. What a movie. What a cast. What a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maid in Manhattan was based on a story by John Hughes, who is credited using a pseudonym. It stars Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes, and Natasha Richardson. In the film, a hotel maid and a high-profile politician fall in love. The film was a box office success.<\/p>\n

It followed the story of a struggling singer-mother named Marisa Ventura, who works as a maid at a luxury hotel in the Big Apple to make ends meet. However, after trying on a designer coat of a guest, she is mistaken for a wealthy politician who falls in love with her.<\/p>\n

Lopez made her acting debut in 1986 with \u201cMy Little Girl\u201d and then she was seen \u201cIn Living Color\u201d before shooting to fame with the 1997 biopic Selena.<\/p>\n
