Selena Marie Gomez was born to Mandy Cornett and Ricardo Gomez on July 22, 1992 in New York City, New York. At a young age, she moved from New York to a small town called Grand Prairie, Texas. Giving birth to Selena at 16, her mom Mandy recalls living "paycheck-to-paycheck". Selena started out on "Barney & Friends" (1992) as "Gianna" in 2001 where she really discovered her talent. Unfortunately, they dropped her from the series after just two years. In 2003, she had a very small role in the movie Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) and a bigger part in 2005 when she played "Julie Walker" in Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial por fuego (2005) (TV) and in 2006 as "Emily Grace Garcia" in Brain Zapped (2006) (TV) when she recorded a song for the movie and when she guest starred as "Gwen" in "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" (2005) and as Hannah's rival, the evil "Mikayla", in "Hannah Montana" (2006). Selena's amazing talent landed her roles in two disney series, both spin-offs. Unfortunately, neither mostrar was picked up until 2007 when she got the role of "Alex Russo" in the magical series "Wizards of Waverly Place" (2007) which she auditioned for 3 times. In March 2008, she made her first animated movie Horton Hears a Who! (2008) and two other movie releases in September 2008.
