Lopez made her feature debut in the highly acclaimed feature “Mi Familia,” which garnered her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her role as young mother “Maria Sanchez.” Lopez earned widespread acclaim for her work in the title role of “Selena,” which brought her a Golden Globe Award nomination. The National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino advocacy group in the nation, named her Entertainer of the Year at the American Latino Media Arts Awards (ALMA) for TV and film.
