“Latina Movie Star Who Changed Her Name” – The Lincoln Lawyer’s True Rita Hayworth Story & What Her Real Name Was

The second part of The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 is now on Netflix and includes a brief discussion about Rita Hayworth’s name that has a much longer, troubled story behind it. The television series was adapted from the Michael Connelly books, which led to a 2011 movie of the same name. Over a decade later, it was brought back with Mexican actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo leading the cast of The Lincoln Lawyer as Mickey Haller, who had been played in the film version by Matthew McConaughey. In the original books, Haller is described as half-Mexican, and casting Garcia-Rulfo helped bring The Lincoln Lawyer back to its roots.
