Her mom was actually trying to be an actress as well.
And so she would bring Selena to local theater productions.

She really gets her big break when she's seven and she beats out more than a thousand other kids to land a role on Barney.
I was seven years old when I got my first job.
And little known fact, her co-star was Demi Lovato.
So they obviously both went on to become very famous.
And Mandy sort of started to become her stage mom at that point, like shuffling her to and from the set.
And then there was a period of time where she was trying to get another gig when Barney ended and she was auditioning, doing lots of pilots for the Disney Channel.
But her next big break really comes about five years later when she lands the lead role in Wizards of Waverly, which was this Disney Channel...
series where she played a teenage wizard from a family of wizards.
That's what really put her on the map more than anything.
and became super famous, basically, when she started dating Justin Bieber.

She was a teenager roughly when she was a teenager on Wizards of Waverly.
