But Rodriguez's job was critically acclaimed, and she began to become famous. Born Talia Rose Coppola in Lake Success, New York, she is the sister of director and producer Francis Ford Coppola.

That movie turned out to be Girlfight, where Michelle landed the starring role of Diana Guzman, a woman boxer. Girlfight was a low-budget, independent film.
