⬛ Leticia Miller, whose real name was Gloria de la Cruz—a name that may have been forgotten but holds a deep connection to one of the most iconic figures in Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla."

"Leticia Miller was not only a rising star in her own right, but she was also known for her remarkable resemblance to Selena. This likeness led to her being considered for the role of Selena in the 1997 biographical film. Out of more than 20,000 actresses who auditioned, Leticia was a top contender. However, fate took a cruel turn."

"In 1995, just after her audition, Leticia Miller—real name Gloria de la Cruz—was tragically murdered. She was only 18 years old. Her body was found in a trash can in Los Angeles, tortured and set on fire.

Jennifer Lopez was not the primary option to star within the well-liked movie, though she was the one who ultimately played the role.
