Selena Gomez To Star As Linda Ronstadt In Upcoming Biopic


Selena Gomez is set to play iconic singer Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic.

The “Only Murders in the Building” star teased the role Tuesday night by posting a picture of Ronstadt’s 2013 memoir on Instagram.

No other details have been announced, but the biopic is currently in pre-production. Ronstadt confirmed the news by sharing a link to the story on Facebook saying, “it all started with a simple dream.”

Ronstadt retired from performing after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2012. Her legendary voice crossed over to multiple genres, including country, rock and roll, and Latin music (she and Gomez are both of Mexican descent.) She won 11 Grammys and she was honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards by both the Recording Academy and the Latin Recording Academy.
