Selena Marie Gomez (born July 22, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television producer. After appearing on the children's series Barney & Friends (2002–2004), she received wider recognition for her portrayal of Alex Russo on the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel television series Wizards of Waverly Place, which aired from 2007 until 2012.
Gomez also starred in the films Another Cinderella Story (2008), Princess Protection Program (2009), Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009), Ramona and Beezus (2010), and Monte Carlo (2011). Thereafter, she focused on more mature roles in Spring Breakers (2012), Getaway (2013), The Fundamentals of Caring (2016), and The Dead Don't Die (2019). She voices the character of Mavis in the Hotel Transylvania film franchise, and serves as an executive producer of the Netflix television drama series 13 Reasons Why (2017–present) and the Netflix documentary series Living Undocumented (2019).
With eight top 10 singles over the past decade, including a no. 1 smash just two years ago, it’s hard to imagine why Selena Gomez would want to return to television.
The 29-year-old first came to cultural prominence as the star of the Disney Channel series “The Wizards of Waverly Place” in the late 00s.
Despite a few sporadic appearances here and there, for the past decade, she’s mostly focused on her music, philanthropy, and producing projects for others such as “13 Reasons Why.” That all changed over the past twelve months.
