Since Selena Quintanilla-Pérez's death, her story has been depicted in various formats, but the 1997 biopic 'Selena' stands out as notably significant. Directed by Gregory Nava with the family's approval, the film artfully captures the complexities of Selena's identity and family dynamics. With a cast that includes Jennifer Lopez as Selena, the film not only performed well commercially but also resonated deeply with audiences, encapsulating the spirit of the beloved pop icon whose influence persists today.
"Selena's family felt very strongly that only a Latino filmmaker would be able to understand the culture, her ethos and the world she came from."
"It was really tragic when she left us, but I feel that her spirit is still with us."
