Hello everyone, April 09th Gina and showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman attended The Contenders Emmys held Sunday in Los Angeles for Jane the virgin’s promotion. Gina posed in a superb dress Kate Spade! Discovery of the passages of the panel which was directed by Nellie Andreeva. + HQ Pictures are available in the gallery.
In Season 3 of the series, Jane endeavors to complete her graduate thesis, while dealing with the unexpected death of her husband, Michael (Brett Dier). The big question of the day was: “Why did Michael have to die?” – “It was always part of the journey that I envisioned at the beginning about a woman who really believed in fantasy and the magic of romance and had big dreams in her life. And things don’t work out like that all the time,” Urman told the audience. “It’s always been about the balance, the shift from leaving her relationship between fantasy and reality. Michael’s death — the show started with such a big earthquake for Jane when she found out she was unexpectedly pregnant, and Michael’s death was always going to be the midpoint of the show where everything changed again in her life and everything changed for everyone around her.” Adding that in a telenovela you want to build to an ending and have that ending in sight, she continued. “Our show is about how do you go on. [..] Loss is always something that we all face [..] and I wanted to explore that and figure out how we could find the comedy and the joy after an event like that.” Gina, who was heartbroken about losing her onscreen husband, said that Urman had always kept them in the dark about what’s next said it was “a challenge as an actor because usually you know where your character is going. You know your character’s journey but it’s been really incredible to walk through this series and Jane’s story like walking through life, which is necessarily not knowing what’s going to happen next.” source : Deadline.com

Hello everyone, Gina partnered with LUNA on an Equal Pay Day campaign, which asks both men and women to fight against the gender pay gap. Playing off of Gina’s passion for boxing, the brand is debuting an equality video that follows Rodriguez for a day of training in the ring. Her strength, determination and resilience shine as an example to women everywhere to keep moving forward in the journey for equality and pay parity.
“I am proud to partner with LUNA to raise awareness for the gender pay gap – a real issue far too many women face,” said Gina. “If you are capable of doing a job, there is no reason why you should get paid any less than anyone else doing the exact same job. Together with LUNA, we’re raising awareness for equal pay, and empowering women everywhere to never settle for the status quo.”
LUNA has always believed in the power of women and a world where equal is equal. This Equal Pay Day, LUNA is proud to partner with LeanIn.Org to champion women and show why today and every day, women deserve their 20 percent.
“Women on average are paid 20 percent less than men, and Black and Hispanic women are paid even less. This hurts women, families and our economy,” said LeanIn.Org president Rachel Thomas. “We’re proud to partner with LUNA, a vocal supporter of women’s equality, to highlight the unfairness of the gender pay gap because we can’t get to equality until women are paid fairly for their work.”
