Related Selena: The Series Part 1 Review: Cómo Me Duele, This Show is Not Good She’s not just mimicking drumming motions, either. What better way is there to channel stress than playing drums? Lucky for González, that was part of her job description. “ I had to cut that pressure and try to channel it to my work as much as possible so that I wouldn’t trip over that,” she said. While there is an innate pressure in portraying someone you’ve long admired on-screen, González was careful not to let that affect her performance. González has been a fan of Selena, her band, and the Quintanilla family since she was a child watching shows like Siempre El Domingo with her mother. Noemi Gonzalez/ Photo credit: Vince Trupsin I spoke with Noemí González - who plays Selena’s sister (and drummer) Suzette Quintanilla in the show - about what it was like to play Suzette (who executive produces the series), building an authentic sisterly bond with Christian Serratos (who plays Selena), and a moment she felt most connected to the late singer while filming. Now, the family is teaming up with Netflix to give us a more in-depth look at Selena’s life in Selena: The Series.
A young Lopez played the singer in the 1997 biopic Selena- an instantly beloved film made with the blessing of the Quintanilla family. Selena’s story and spirit even helped launch the career of a young actress named Jennifer Lopez further into the spotlight. Because of that vow, people who had never heard of Tejano music fell in love with Selena and her music via the Dreaming of You album released posthumously in 1995. Selena was in the middle of recording her first official English language album when her life was cut short - a life-long dream that she did get to live, if not see to completion.Īfter her untimely death, the Quintanilla family vowed to keep fulfilling Selena’s dreams for her.
It was weeks before the singer’s 24th birthday and mere days before her wedding anniversary with her husband Chris Pérez. Tejano music superstar and rising mainstream pop star Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was tragically shot to death on March 31, 1995, at a motel in Corpus Christi, Texas.
