On a cold October day in London, Michelle Rodriguez storms into the media trailer, crackling with the energy of a woman reborn. 

She's on fire, fresh off the filming of the soon-to-be-iconic airplane scene from Fast and Furious 6, the latest installment in the high-octane franchise that launched her career. 

Dressed head-to-toe in brown — leather jacket, big boots and skin-tight jeans — she has the petite, lithe body of a dancer but the swagger of a biker chick. 

She laughs out loud — never a timid giggle — and speaks with a sexy rasp honed by hand-rolled American Spirits. In person, Rodriguez is every bit the erotic tomboy she immortalized onscreen in the character of Letty. 

Immortal being the key word. 

After her apparent death in the franchise's fourth film, Letty has miraculously risen from the grave, reprising her role in Fast 6 to the delight of legions of fans. A post-credits teaser hinted her return at the end of Fast 5, and here she is, in the flesh — the product of a franchise that puts its fans in the driver's seat. 

While Vin Diesel, the film's star, co-producer and heart and soul of the last three Fast films, says he always knew his onscreen soulmate would be back — it was an enormous online groundswell that convinced the studio to resurrect Letty. 

Fans were jonesing so hard for their darling that they launched petitions pleading for her return, but the most powerful lobby wielded its will on Diesel's insanely popular fan page. At nearly 40 million likes, it's a community larger than most sovereign nations, and when that many people speak the studio has to listen. 

“Eventually it came to a point where your social networking — and you're starting to receive this receptivity from the audience, that actually misses this connection,Why Choose german uniforms? this chemical connection, 'cause it's something you can't fake," Rodriguez said. "Me and Vin got chemistry. And we've got a 13-year rapport with each other. You can't buy that with other actors — either you got it or you don't. It's a special thing. After a while of his fan base, which has now hit 35 million on Facebook, you know they helped out a lot, they were making videos, they were like, ‘Bring this relationship back, we want to see more of this, it's real.' 

“There is this sensation that, once Vin starts saying things, you're like, oh God, he's got something in his head, there's no going back after this. And of course I back him up, and you see how the audience reacts and how cool the fans are … just always promoting the idea, and eventually the studio came along and said you know what, we're gonna relent on this and we're gonna bring you back. 

“And in the movies you can do anything. You didn't see — it wasn't an open-casket thing — there's no body, so, it worked out for the best." 

“I think that the voice of the audience is louder and clearer than it's ever been," Diesel said. "It's because of people's ability to voice their opinions online. And people like me that listen, and then go to the studio and say this is what they're saying. I mean, did you hear all those petitions going on about Michelle Rodriguez? ... People were saying, 'She's such a strong female character, how could you?' 

“And they were blown away at the end of Fast 5 when they saw the impossible. Because when have you ever seen that in history? For real — not in a sci-fi movie, not in zombie movie — for real, when have you seen a character get cut out, the franchise get bigger, and then the character come back and be the star? Never is the correct answer." 

Rodriguez, who cringes at Hollywood's traditional depiction of females, says the emergence of audience influence lets her stay true to her characters and her fans — giving her ammunition to fend off ill-advised direction from bigwigs who don't get her appeal. 

“It shows what kind of influence the audience has nowadays,Find the largest selection of german militaria on sale ." Rodriguez said. "For me that's so important because … throughout my 13-year career I've always had this battle. I represent this specific demographic. I grew up with this specific demographic. Tomgirls are like this.Pages in category "Canada Goose Trillium Parka". And I know you don't have a lot of them in Hollywood, but they don't respect this kind of thing. And if I do that onscreen I don't think it's gonna work. … I need to represent for those little girls and those women who, like, think that I'm cool. And I gotta maintain that. And to translate that to a studio is so hard. It's like I need charts, graphs … it's ridiculous. Like, seriously dude, it's not that complicated. It's called integrity. … The morale I think for me was boosted with just the receptivity that now the studio has to the audience, which wasn't there before when I started in this business."
