Selena Gomez says The Wizard of Oz is her favorite film of “all time” — and its star, Judy Garland, is the reason she became an actress.

The Wizards of Waverly Place star, 17, says the late actress inspired her to embark on a career in Hollywood.

“My favorite movie of all time is The Wizard of Oz,” Gomez told Us Weekly magazine. “Judy Garland is the reason I wanted to become an actress.”

Selena recently revealed that she has a crush on singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.

“I would love to work with Jason Mraz ’cause I have a crush on him and he’s very talented, musically and lyrically,” she said.

“I went to his concert and it was just him and [his] guitar on stage. And I was like – my jaw was open the entire time. I was in shock. He’s beautiful. I would love [to collaborate].”
