"I really pay attention to what that little description is. I'm sure whoever did it wasn't thinking about what that meant, but for me I was just like, ‘Oh no, I'm not doing this!' What do you mean -- caretaker, Latina, pretty?'" she said in an interview with the Flaunt magazine, reports eonline.com.
"Things could have been very different", she said, had the film's director Rian Johnson not sent across a more accurate vision of who Marta (her character) is.
"My character was a diamond. When they sent the whole script and I read the whole thing I realised ‘oh my gosh I have to do this'," she recalled.
"Knives Out" also starred Daniel Craig, Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis.
