Michelle Rodriguez (born July 12, 1978) is an
United States|American born Puerto Rican-Dominican
Republic|Dominican actress. She is a native of
Bexar County, Texas, but her family decided to
follow their roots when Michelle was a child: At
the age of 8, she moved to the Dominican Republic,
and at 11, she moved to Puerto Rico. She later
moved to New Jersey.

She was a struggling actress when she ran across
an ad advertising an open casting call for a
movie. That movie turned out to be Girlfight,
where Michelle landed the starring role of Diana
Guzman, a Women's boxing|woman boxer. Girlfight
was a low-budget, independent film. But
Rodriguez's job was critically acclaimed, and she
began to become famous. She won various awards for
her job in this movie, which became an unexpected
hit among moviegoers.

Subsequently, she has had notable characters in
other hit movies. She dated Vin Diesel in 2001,
and she even admitted, during an interview at the
Howard Stern show, to having an intimate
relationship with him.
