=== Film and television appearances ===
Estefan has appeared in two live-action films, ''[[Music of the Heart]]'' (1999) and ''[[For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story]]'' (2000). Estefan made a cameo appearance with her husband in ''[[Marley & Me (film)|Marley & Me]]'' (2008).  Estefan starred in a made-for-TV movie on HBO in the remake of "Father of the Bride" with [[Andy Garcia]]. The film had a Latin/Cuban America twist, which premiered on 16 June 2022 on HBO Max.

Estefan was cast to star as [[Connie Francis]], a U.S. pop singer of the 1950s and early 1960s, in the biographical film ''Who's Sorry Now?'' According to ''[[Parade (magazine)|Parade]]'' magazine (23 March 2008), filming supposedly began in late 2008. In an interview with www.allheadlinenews.com, Estefan stated that the film would be released in 2009. However, as of December 2009, the film was dropped as Connie Francis had [[irreconcilable differences]] with Estefan over the film's writer. Francis wanted to hire writer [[Robert L. Freedman]], who had written the [[Emmy Award]] winning mini-series ''[[Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows]]''. Estefan, according to Francis, refused to consider him and the project collaboration thus ended.<ref>Ybarra, David (December 2009).
