In 2015, she had roles in the films ''Furious 7'' and ''Entourage''. ==Early life== Rousey was born in Riverside, California, the youngest of three daughters of AnnMaria De Mars (née Waddell) and Ron Rousey, after whom Rousey was named.〔Pilon, Mary (November 10, 2015). ("Caged: What Drives Ronda Rousey to Wake Up and Fight" ). ''Esquire''.〕 Her mother had a decorated Judo career and was the first U.S. citizen to win a World Judo Championship (in 1984). Her maternal grandfather was Venezuelan, and was of part Afro-Venezuelan ancestry. Her other ancestry includes English and Polish. Her stepfather is an aerospace engineer. Her biological father, having broken his back sledding with his daughters and having learned that he would be a paraplegic, committed suicide in 1995, when Rousey was eight years old.〔〔("UFC 190: Extended Preview" ). Ultimate Fighting Championship. YouTube. July 18, 2015 3:32 mark〕 AnnMaria pursued her Ph.D. in educational psychology at the University of California, Riverside as her daughters grew up.〔〔Alexander, Jim (July 24, 2015). ("ALEXANDER: Rousey's stardom goes way beyond UFC boundaries" ). ''The Press Enteprise''.〕 For the first six years of her life, Rousey struggled with speech and could not form an intelligible sentence due to apraxia, a neurological childhood speech sound disorder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/08/ronda-rousey-discusses-the-rare-disorder-that-made-her-think-she-was-stupid-as-a-child )〕 This speech disorder was attributed to being born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck at birth. When Ronda was three years old, her mother and father moved from Riverside, California, to Jamestown, North Dakota, to obtain intensive speech therapy with specialists at Minot State University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.rollingstone.com/sports/features/ronda-rousey-the-worlds-most-dangerous-woman-20150528 )〕 Rousey dropped out of high school and later earned a G.E.D. She was raised in Southern California and Jamestown, North Dakota, retiring from her judo career at 21 and starting her MMA career at 22 when she realized that she did not want to spend her life in a conventional field of work.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronda Rousey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
