"Fast & Furious 7" has proven to be just as successful - if not more - than the previous six editions in the film franchise, and it has once again brought actor Michelle Rodriguez to the fore. Known for her roles as a tough, independent women in action films including as Letty Ortiz in the Fast & Furious films, as well as for her appearances in "Blue Crush", "Avatar" and "Battle: Los Angeles", the Texan has been on the Hollywood scene since the early-2000s and she continues to prove a success on screen. Often seen all-made-up in glamorous frocks and dresses on the red carpet at film premières or at award ceremonies, Rodriguez has regularly appeared on various lists of the "World's Sexist Women", including FHM's and Maxim's. Interestingly, though, Rodriguez fits the bad-girl image of the Fast & Furious film franchise arguably a little too perfectly - having spent a total of 26 days in jail for four separate incidents, the majority of which involve driving in some capacity. And this is also an actress who, despite being raised as a Jehovah's Witness, managed to be expelled from five separate schools. So here are 10 things you didn't know about actor Michelle Rodriguez.
