Since her untimely death in 1995, Selena fans and her estate have worked hard to keep the Tejano singer's music and legacy alive. The Grammy-winning singer, born Selena Quintanilla and known simply as Selena, was shot and killed by the former manager of her fan club at a Corpus Christi hotel. The 23-year-old star of "Dreaming of You" was tipped to be the next global phenomenon. In 1997, her family published a biography starring Jennifer Lopez, which rapidly made Lopez a worldwide celebrity and boosted Selena's profile. The family has chosen to re-release the picture in theatres to mark the film's 25th anniversary.
