Ashlee Simpson had a supporting role as an aspiring actress named Clea in Undiscovered, originally titled Wannabe, an independent film that was released in theaters in August 2005. Simpson filmed her scenes in late 2004. While Simpson's performance was met with acceptable reviews, the film itself was trashed by critics and placed outside of the top ten in its opening weekend, earning just $676,048. Ashlee Simpson's performance in the film earned her a Razzie nomination for Worst Supporting Actress.
In 1998, Jennifer Lopez had one of her most acclaimed roles, starring opposite George Clooney in Out of Sight, Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. Cast as a deputy federal marshal who falls for a charming criminal, Lopez won raves for her tough performance and in the process she became the first Latina actress to earn over $1 million for a role. That same year, Jennifer Lopez provided the voice for Azteca on the computer-animated film Antz.
