“This isn’t the story of a tragedy it’s the story of a wonderful, beautiful woman and I think watching it, knowing what happens, you’re already hit with emotion so it doesn’t need to be gratuitous.”įor Serratos, who considered herself a “die hard” fan of Selena well before booking the role, the emotion of her being taken too soon hit her when she stepped into the costume for Selena’s final pre-death scene. I think that’s the respectful thing to do,” Serratos tells Variety. “I think it was very important to everyone to only show what was necessary. Instead, the show eventually cut to Selena’s point of view on a gurney as she was being transported to the hospital, followed by flashes of earlier scenes and events to signify her life flashing before her eyes as she slipped away in the hospital. The show did not portray that argument, nor did it follow Selena as she ran out of the room to get help and named Yolanda as her shooter, as was also reported. An off-camera gunshot rang out, signifying the end of Selena and Yolanda’s argument that has been much documented in news reports. She took her call when Yolanda said something terrible had happened to her in Mexico and followed her to a motel, where the point of view switched to that of a hospitality worker cleaning another room.
Instead, Selena staunchly defended her friend and stood by her side, even after her father Abraham (Ricardo Chavira) proved Yolanda was embezzling.
