From “Simple Dreams” to Silver Screen: Selena Gomez Is Officially Set to Play Music Legend Linda Ronstadt
The rumors are true, and the resemblance is undeniable! After years of fan speculation, Selena Gomez is officially stepping into the shoes of the iconic Linda Ronstadt for an upcoming biopic that is already generating massive buzz.
The Secret Meeting at Linda’s Home
The news was confirmed via the website of Great Eastern Music, a publisher founded by Ronstadt’s longtime manager, John Boylan. According to the announcement, this isn’t just a casting choice—it’s a collaboration.
“The two recently spent a few hours at Linda’s home discussing the project and getting to know each other,” the site revealed.
A Match Made in Hollywood
The project is backed by some serious heavy hitters. Produced by John Boylan and James Keach—the man behind the Oscar-winning Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line—the film promises to be a prestigious look at the life of the 11-time Grammy winner.
While a title has yet to be announced, Selena Gomez all but confirmed the news herself. She took to Instagram to share a photo of Ronstadt’s 2013 memoir, “Simple Dreams,” followed by screenshots of major trade reports. On Facebook, she added a touching caption: “It all started with a simple dream.”
Why Selena?
For Gomez, this role feels like destiny. During a 2015 interview, she admitted:
-
“I always used to get told that I look like her.”
-
“I started listening to her music because of that.”
Beyond the physical similarity, both women share a deep connection to their craft and a massive influence on pop culture.
A Legacy Worth Telling
Linda Ronstadt, the voice behind hits like “You’re No Good,” “Blue Bayou,” and “When Will I Be Loved,” retired in 2011 due to health challenges (later revealed to be progressive supranuclear palsy). With 10 Top 10 hits and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, her story is one of the most compelling in music history.
Fans are already calling this the “role of a lifetime” for Selena, who recently teased a social media break to focus on “what really matters”—and it seems this biopic is exactly that.
