Gina Carano

Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982) is an American actress and mixed martial artist. She competed in Elite Xtreme Combat and Strikeforce from 2006 to 2009, where she compiled a 7–1 record. Her popularity led to her being called the "face of women's MMA", although Carano rejected this title. She and Cris Cyborg were the first women to headline a major MMA event during their 2009 Strikeforce bout. Carano retired from competition after her first professional MMA defeat to Cyborg.

Transitioning from the ring to the screen, Carano landed her first major role as the lead of the action film ''Haywire'' (2011), which was followed by appearances in ''Fast & Furious 6'' (2013) and ''Deadpool'' (2016). She also portrayed Cara Dune in the first two seasons of the Disney+ ''Star Wars'' series ''The Mandalorian'' from 2019 to 2020. She was fired from the series in 2021. She later filed a lawsuit against Disney in 2024 for wrongful termination, which ultimately ended in a settlement the following year. Provided by Wikipedia
