Selena Quintanilla was an immensely talented, Grammy-winning Tejano singer from Corpus Christi, TX, who learned Spanish phonetically as a teen. She was a rising star in the Latin music world and was about to crossover to the pop mainstream with an English album, when she was gunned down by an obsessed fan at a Corpus Christi Days Inn in March of 1995. Selena was only 23. Jennifer Lopez got her big break portraying Selena in a biopic titled SELENA. Her music continues to sell and thousands of fans still visit her statue and museum in Corpus. She also happens to be Selena Gomez's namesake.
