Summary

Selena Quintanilla, "The Queen of Tejano Music" and Mexican American icon, rose to popularity in the 80s and 90s as the lead singer of her family's band "Selena y los Dinos". She won her first major award, Female Vocalist of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards, at just 15. But as she quickly continued to climb the ladder to fame (becoming known as the "Mexican Madonna"), fangirl/"friend" and trusted friend of the family/business manager Yolanda Saldívar became more jealous and insecure... leading her to an act that would forever haunt Selena's home state of Texas.
