Michelle Rodriguez demanded her 'Fast and Furious' character be rewritten over sexism concerns

Michelle Rodriguez says she demanded rewrites of the original "Fast and Furious" script to improve the representation of her character, Letty Ortiz. "The Fast and the Furious," the first film in the nine-movie franchise, celebrates its 20th anniversary this June. Rodriguez is now one of the franchise's central characters, but she and fellow cast member Jordana Brewster told Entertainment Weekly in a new oral-history project about the film's production that Letty Ortiz was originally written only as a supporting player to Vin Diesel's character Dominic Toretto.
