Selena Quintanilla's whirlwind love story with Chris Pérez is one for the books. The two first met in the early '90s when Chris joined Selena's band, Selena y Los Dinos, as a guitarist, and it was pretty much love at first sight. In fact, the first two words that came to Chris's mind when he laid eyes on the Tejano singer were: "beautiful and talented." "I'm a shy person by nature, and there was just something about her that she was able to pull me out," Chris previously told Entertainment Tonight.
26 years after her tragic death, Selena and Chris's heart-wrenching romance is being revisited once again in part two of Netflix's Selena: The Series. In the premiere episode, we see Selena and Chris elope at a Texas courthouse, and yes, that's exactly how things went down in real life.

Actor Jonathan Majors recalls his mother telling him, when he was a child, to always come home before the street lights came on.
But it wasn’t until he was filming “Lovecraft Country” that he realized that was not because “my mother was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find my way home in the dark,” he says. “It was the fact that she grew up in Texas and a sundown town was a real thing and if you were not home by the time those street lights came up, you were in trouble.”
Working on the first season of the HBO drama that mixed elements of horror, supernatural mysticism and science fiction on the backdrop of historical events gave him fresh perspective on the Black experience in America.
In addition to Jim Crow laws, Majors saw the 1921 Tulsa race massacre in a new light after working with his...

If you're fascinated by the true story behind Selena: The Series, you might be wondering what Selena's family thinks of the Netflix production based on her life. Although Selena tragically passed away in 1995, her family remains very much alive and in control of her estate, and they are known to be very protective of Selena's legacy. For that reason, it's no surprise that
the Quintanilla family signed on to executive produce the series
alongside Netflix, who announced the singer's family would be "fully involved" in the show. The series is executive produced by Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr. and her sister, Suzette Quintanilla, along with industry executives, and was developed alongside those who were closest to her.
The Tejano icon's incredible yet harrowing tale is of course a story that is deeply close to the Quintanilla family's hearts, which is why they decided to produce the series for a new audience.

During the first episode of Netflix’s “Selena: The Series,” about the titular Tejano music superstar, the patriarch of the family, Abraham Quintanilla Jr. (Ricardo Chavira), strums his guitar as his 8-year-old daughter Selena (Madison Taylor Baez) sings the popular 1970s song “Feelings” like any gifted little girl would.
“The notes are good, you’re just not…” her father says as he explains that to be a compelling singer, one must tap into their own life experiences. Her mother interjects that Selena is too young to understand what lyrics like “trying to forget my feelings of love” really mean.
Those genuine emotions needed to express what’s inside someone’s heart may not have existed in Selena as a kid, but during her fleeting 23 years of life — much of it spent performing center stage and beloved by countless fans —her music elicited a response that could only be described as deep adoration.
