Selena is in talks to play Linda Ronstadt in a biopic of her life, “Showbiz 411” reports.
To be clear, this is a VERY big deal and an evolutionary career stepping stone and role (that if Selena pulls off successfully) - would catapult Selena on to the ‘A’ List of major league, big screen, adult Hollywood movie actresses (and in comparison finally leave Demi as a stultifying smoke trail, far behind in Selena’s rear view mirror).

The visual likeness of Selena + Linda (and their close commonality of geographic origin) is something that was recognised years ago - in many ways it is destiny casting that Selena’s career could potentially take this turn if negotiations prove successful.
Pivotal Billboard Hits/ Scenes Selena would be required to record for the movie soundtrack include the following:
They are so going to use the (as yet un-recorded Selina cover) of the above track to sell the fuck out of Selena in the movie role because the lyrics so spookily resonate with her own personal relationship history (oddly going deeper than lyrics from her own past non soundtrack recordings) and in the process the future Selena version has the hardcore billboard potential to dwarf the success of “Swallow” from “A Star Is Born” and make it look like a medium sized hit (regardless of this not being an original track) - born out of the lyrical resonance to the public perception of Selina’s dating history. If this all works out, in the end it is going to be goosebump inducing ⬆️
This news is an early clue that in the fullness of time Selina’s career could enter previously unreached stratospheric heights (for her).
