article: MMA Star Gina Carano on her First Acting Gig for Steven Soderbergh
Tweet
In the summer of 2009, after losing the first fight of her career, Gina Carano, a professional mixed martial artist, considered throwing in the towel. But at her agent’s insistence, the 29-year-old Texan agreed to meet with a director named Steven Soderbergh. “I had a black eye, and I didn’t want to see anyone,” she says. “Especially not a director who, I’m embarrassed to say, I hadn’t heard of before. He wanted to make a movie based on a female action person—‘star’ feels too weird to say—who would make these Hollywood stage fights look believable.”

Gina Carano recently tweeted a link to a beautiful video montage of U.S Soldiers coming home to their loved ones along with the lone message of “God Bless The Troops ;)” Recall the fighter supporting The USO in her last fight by promoting their logo. A prime sponsorship ad could’ve been used, but instead this warrior opted to support our nation’s warriors, The U.S Service Men & Women. Several Carano fans have been inspired by her to fight, but all can help with the biggest fight.
