Sellecca, an Italian American, was born in The Bronx, New York City. She moved to the Rockland County, New York village of Pomona at the age of 12. She attended Pomona Junior High School and Ramapo High School in Spring Valley, where she first became interested in the performing arts.

After Hero had ended, she was released out of her contract, in time, to audition for another role she is most recognizable for playing as "Christine Francis" on the television drama Hotel, opposite James Brolin, which she played from 1983 to 1988.
