Rodriguez got asked why she reportedly had turned down a role on the series Devious Maids before taking this role. She said Jane was the role she’d “waited” for, because “there are other stories that need to be told” about the Latino community, “and media is a venue to educate and teach our next generation.” Currently, she said unhappily,, the pictures of Latinos are as “maid, landscaper, and pregnant teen.” Oops.
“I didn’t become an artist to become a millionaire – to wear Louis Vuitton,’ she continued, adding, “I have to give this dress back when we’re done…“I never saw [Latinos] being played as investment bankers and actors. .. Every role I’ve chosen have been ones I think push forward the idea of my culture and women.”
When asked if Jane would sue the hospital or, telenovela-like, that point would be ignored, Urman said that while the Jane character is supposed to be “a really good person, and she will struggle with that,” she polled her writers room – also filled with “really good people,” and they said they would sue the hospital – so it will be in the series.
