Cant forget about Selena Quintanilla the singer and the movie also.

^^^^ Mexican American star Selena Quintanilla was a Texas native and the heart and pride of the Hispanic community in America. Selena Gomez was named after her. Could have become Madonna status if she didn't get killed. I honestly believe that Jennifer Lopez would have not been the famous person she is today if she didn't play Selena in that movie. That movie literally brought J-Lo to the spotlight. Selena Quintanilla's influence in the music world earned her a state holiday in Texas aka "Selena Day" on her Birthday issued days after she died by George W. Bush when he was the governor of Texas.
