Michelle Rodriguez
Born: July 12, 1978 - Bexar County, Texas
Born of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent, Michelle Rodriguez is known for her tough, fighter roles. She was raised in many different places, including Texas, Puerto Rico, New Jersey and the Dominican Republic.
Girlfight in 2000 was her break into movies, and she beat out (pun intended) over 300 other women to land the part.
She also landed a role in The Fast and the Furious after her first audition despite not having a driver's license. She had to get one during filming of this movie.
Personal Quote: "No matter what, people are so narrow minded that it won't ever be Michelle Rodriguez the actress, it will always be Michelle Rodrigues the Latin actress. And it's just something that I have to live with, because of the fact that people need labels to understand things. I can't even get into this ignorance that I'm dealing with. So I just ignore it, you know? Ignore the ignorance."
