Maya Zapata
The Mexican actress is set to star as Selena in El Secreto de Selena, which translates to Selena's Secret in the Telemundo series based on the writings of Puerto Rican journalist María Celeste Arrarás.
"After I found out I was going to be Selena, I dreamed of her every night," said Maya in a recent interview. "I talked to her, had dialogues with her. I wanted to tell her story in a responsible way, I just wanted to be her vehicle so that she could share her story."
