Selena Gomez was poised for stardom from the moment that she was named after the slain singer of the same first name. Growing up primarily under the watch of her actress mother, Mandy Tee-fey, she observed with eager eyes as her mom acted in stage shows and decided early on that she wanted to try the same thing. As a child of the "Barney the Friendly Dinosaur" generation, she naturally made her acting debut on the PBS series Barney & Friends, which was filmed when she was beginning elementary school but didn’t air until 2002.
In the wake of a role in Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over in 2003, Selena Gomez made waves at a talent search that was organized by the Disney Channel. As a result, she was hired to do guest-starring work on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (featuring Ashley Tisdale) in 2006 and then on Hannah Montana in 2007. The latter gig became a recurring role for Gomez as she played Mikayla, a rival pop star to Miley Cyrus’s titular songstress an opportunity that allowed her to enjoy a small slice of the pop culture craze that made Hannah Montana a tween phenomenon. The feud between Gomez and Cyrus went viral in 2008 when the latter teen queen created a video that skewered her rival: a move that generated controversy, but was dismissed as being a joke. Regardless of its intentions, the experience only helped to enhance Gomez’s brand.
