 | (Actress - Fast and the Furious, Lost, Resident Evil) *Appearing Courtesy of Celebrity Authentics *Appearing Saturday/Sunday ONLY |  |  |  | A cross between beauty and brawn, Texas-born Michelle Rodriguez has come a long way from humble beginnings shaped by time spent growing up in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Jersey City. It was from such sometimes rough yet diverse surroundings that Michelle began to build a personal persona as a street-smart "tough girl", which when combined with raw talent and unmatched screen presence, helped her beat out 350 other girls to land her first speaking role as the lead in 2000's critically-acclaimed independent film Girlfight. The award-winning performance quickly helped Michelle garner the attention of Hollywood, leading to major roles in blockbusters such as The Fast and the Furious (2001), Resident Evil (2002), and S.W.A.T. (2003).
Having recently starred in the dramatic indie Battle in Seattle with Charlize Theron, Michelle currently appears in Fast & Furious alongside Vin Diesel. She can next be seen in the historical biopic Tropico de Sangre which she also co-produces, and in James Cameron's highly anticipated $250 million sci-fi epic Avatar due for release in December. Always seeking opportunities to branch out and reveal her multifaceted layers, Michelle is currently developing her own projects as a writer and producer.
Celebrity Authentics is pleased to present Ms. Rodriguez in her first and only scheduled public autograph signing on Saturday and Sunday, August 8-9, 2009 at the Chicago Comic-Con. For tickets and information please visit CelebrityAuthentics.com.
