Selena Marie Gomez (born July 22, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television producer. After appearing on the children's series Barney & Friends (2002–2004), she received wider recognition for her portrayal of Alex Russo on the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel television series Wizards of Waverly Place, which aired from 2007 until 2012.
Gomez also starred in the films Another Cinderella Story (2008), Princess Protection Program (2009), Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009), Ramona and Beezus (2010), and Monte Carlo (2011). Thereafter, she focused on more mature roles in Spring Breakers (2012), Getaway (2013), The Fundamentals of Caring (2016), and The Dead Don't Die (2019). She voices the character of Mavis in the Hotel Transylvania film franchise, and serves as an executive producer of the Netflix television drama series 13 Reasons Why (2017–present) and the Netflix documentary series Living Undocumented (2019).
The American Film Institute’s AFI Fest got underway in earnest Wednesday at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with the world premiere of the Apple TV+ documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, where the star walked the red carpet and participated in a post-screening Q&A (which AFI asked me to moderate) joined by the film’s director and co-writer Alex Keshishian.
In the nearly four decades this fest has taken place I can’t really recall the last time its opening-night gala started out with a docu, much less one focused on a music star/actress.
But then this movie is not your average portrait of a pop icon as it focuses less on the music, and far more on the mental health crisis of its subject, her other medical problems such as battling lupus and a kidney transplant, plus the “psychotic break” that forced her to cancel the rest of her 2016 “Revival” tour and check into a psychiatric hospital.
This kind of cinematic effort can be used by stars to sell books, tours, albums, but that is clearly not what interests the filmmaker or Gomez.
