Selena Gomez to Play Linda Ronstadt in New Biopic

Selena Gomez is set to portray Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic, as confirmed by Variety. The announcement was hinted at by Gomez through an Instagram post featuring Ronstadt's 2013 memoir, "Simple Dreams."

The biopic, currently in pre-production, involves producers like Ronstadt's manager, John Boylan, and James Keach, who produced the 2019 documentary about Ronstadt. Linda Ronstadt, a legend in country, rock, and Latin music, is known for her successful albums in the 1970s, such as “Heart Like a Wheel” and “Simple Dreams,” and has won 11 Grammys.
