Historia

Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (April 16, 1971 – March 31, 1995) was an American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, model, actress, and fashion designer. Called the "Queen of Tejano music", her contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. Billboard magazine named her the top-selling Latin artist of the 1990s decade, while her posthumous collaboration with MAC cosmetics became the best-selling celebrity collection in cosmetics history. She also ranks among the most influential Latin artists of all time and is credited for catapulting a music genre into the mainstream market.

Basada en hechos reales, narra la meteórica carrera de la joven cantante hispana Selena Quintanilla-Perez, todo un fenómeno de la música que surge en una localidad de Texas para convertirse en una estrella del universo latino. Descubierta casualmente por su propio padre a la temprana edad de 10 años, su vida será un continuo carrusel de problemas familiares, incluyendo su matrimonio en secreto con su guitarrista Chris Perez. A pesar de su corta y trágica carrera, su popularidad fue extraordinaria tanto en México como entre la población hispana de los Estados Unidos, que vivió su fulgurante ascenso y su trágica muerte, sucedida en 1995 cuando contaba con apenas 23 años de edad, a manos de su mayor admiradora: la presidenta de su club de fans y secretaria personal.
