About this episode

Selena Quintanilla was a superstar on the rise. Before her 24th birthday, she'd already cemented her status as a cultural icon, and left a legacy that would continue for generations. Selena was the full package — iconic stage looks, her legendary megawatt smile, and of course, her music. In this three part series, we’ll tell you how the little girl with the big voice became one of the most famous figures in the history of tejano music.
