'SELENA': CLASSIC BIOPIC WITH JENNIFER LOPEZ TO BE RE-RELEASED IN THEATERS FOR 25TH ANNIVERSARY

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. "'Selena,' starring Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos, was released in theatres nationally 25 years ago TODAY," read a post on Selena's verified Facebook profile. "A tribute to an icon, her legacy, and her music. Beginning April 7th, "Selena" will be distributed in theatres around the country."
