She supported me, sacrificed her life for me.” During the interview, The Only Murders In The Building actress also recalled searching for quarters to get gas for their cars and walking to local dollar store to buy spaghetti for dinner.
Selena Gomez was only 10 years old when she made her acting debut with Barney & Friends.
