Selena Gomez è nata a New York City il 22 luglio 1992. Seppur giovanissima è una delle punte di diamante della schiera di giovani e promettenti attori della Disney. Selena è una grandissima amica di Demi Lovato, come lei attrice Disney, con la quale si diverte a realizzare dei video per poi pubblicarli su YouTube. Selena è stata la fidanzata di Nick Jonas, ma solo come ruolo ricoperto nel video dei Jonas Brothers dal titolo Burnin' up. Nell'autunno del 2007 ha girato il film Another cinderella story.

Il film si rifà alla fiaba di Cenerentola, dove Cenerentola è interpretata da Mary (Selena Gomez). La matrigna è invece Dominique Blatt (Jane Lynch) e le sorellastre sono Britt (Emily Perkins) e Bree (Katharine Isabelle). Il principe azzuro è Joey Parker (Drew Seeley), una famosa celebrità ritornata a scuola per finire l'ultimo anno delle superiori. in questa versione la scarpetta di cristallo è un lettore MP3.
