Selena Gomez is to portray music legend Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic.
This comes after the US singer had recently teased this project, having shared an image of Ronstadt’s 2013 memoir ‘Simple Dreams’ via social media.
While a director for this biopic has yet to be confirmed, John Boylan Ronstadt’s manager will co-produce alongside James Keach.
Details regarding additional casting and release date have also yet to be announced, aside from Gomez taking up the role as Linda Ronstadt.
Linda Ronstadt has enjoyed a hugely successful career in the music business. In a career which has spanned five decades, Linda Ronstadt won 11 Grammy Awards, as well as receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Recording and Latin Recording Academies.
In 2011, she retired from music, later revealing that she was unable to perform due to her progressive supranuclear palsy, which had been originally mistaken for Parkinson’s disease.
Linda Ronstadt and Selena Gomez are both of Mexican descent.
