Meadow Walker‘s cameo in “Fast X” truly incorporates what everyone knew and loved about Paul Walker by exuding humbleness, just one of the many redeeming qualities that exemplified her late father.
Speaking to Et’s Nischelle Turner at the “Fast X” premiere in Rome, the 24-year-old model-turned-actress spoke about the significance of the cameo, how the”Fast” family truly has become her family and how the role came about. On Thursday, Meadow shared a photo of herself captured on a set monitor in a glimpse of her cameo in the Louis Leterrier-directed film.
Meadow was only a year old when her father starred in the first instalment, but it’s not until the penultimate instalment (the franchise is ending with the 11th and final instalment) that she makes her own appearance, albeit low-key, and that’s by design, because that’s how Paul would have wanted it.

Paul Walker’s daughter will be making a cameo in the upcoming Fast X film.
Meadow Walker took to her Instagram Thursday to reflect on her cameo while also sharing a screengrab preview of it.
“The first Fast was released when I was one year old! I grew up on set watching my father, Vin [Diesel], Jordana [Brewster], Michelle [Rodriguez], [Ludacris] and more on the monitors. Thanks to my dad, I was born into the Fast family. I can’t believe now I get to be up there too. With those who have been around to see me grow up,” she wrote alongside the photo.
She went on to thank the film’s director, Louis Leterrier, for his “kindness, patience and support.” “It feels like you’ve been part of the family since we started, I’m happy it’s just the beginning,” she wrote.

Netflix’s original docuseries “Medal of Honor,” which debuts globally Nov. 9, focuses on the lives of eight recipients of the nation’s highest military honor for valor. The honor has been presented to fewer than 3,600 Americans since Abraham Lincoln signed it into law in 1861.
Produced by Allentown Productions and Compari Entertainment, the series is executive produced by Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Jacqueline Levine and Brandon Birtell, with Oscar-, Grammy- and Emmy-winning filmmaker James Moll (“The Last Days”) directing the project.
“James Moll is a talented storyteller, and we were looking for the right project to work with him on,” says Zemeckis. “ ‘Medal of Honor’ is the ideal collaboration for us, and James’ documentary skills combined with our live-action techniques bring to a compelling light the important recognition of these brave individuals. We cannot think of a better way to give back to the military community than by telling these incredibly heroic true stories.

Almost two years after Paul Walker's untimely wreck, his daughter has filed a wrongful-death suit against Porsche, alleging safety shortcuts ultimately led to the Fast & Furious actor's fiery, fatal crash. Meadow, 16, submitted the complaint Monday in L.A. Superior Court with her guardian Brandon Birtell; they want to recoup unspecified damages and hold the car manufacturer responsible. "This wrongful death action arises from the demise of Paul Walker, who was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera Gt," the filing reads. "Porsche designed and marketed the Carrera Gt as 'a racing car licensed for use on the road,' powered by a 605 horse-power engine capable of achieving a top speed of 205 mph." An initial investigation into Walker's crash, which also claimed the life of his financial adviser and pro racer Roger Rodas, determined that speed played a major factor in causing the wreck. Meadow and her team, however, seek to...

Paul Walker died a wealthy man, and he left his entire estate in the hands of his 15-year-old daughter Meadow. The Fast & Furious star, 40, who was killed in a fiery crash in November, was worth $25 million, according to his will obtained by People. But according to the documents, the inheritance came with complications. Walker's dad, who is the named executor on the will, petitioned to have the court appoint the late actor's mom Cheryl as Meadow's legal guardian. But Walker's daughter currently lives with her mom, Rebecca Soteros. According to what Walker requested, his dad also requested to have Cheryl...

As more personal information comes out in the wake of Paul’s fatal car accident, the stories only expand on the star’s benevolent nature. Before his death, Paul revealed that he was homeless for a period of time, and wanted to shed light on the subject by helping produce a documentary film called ‘Shelter.’
Social worker Ken Williams came to know Paul Walker after working together on a documentary, Shelter, in 2009. Because living on the streets of Santa Barbara, Calif. in college had so greatly impacted Paul’s life, he wanted to investigate the issue more with the film’s producer, Brandon Birtell.

It’s so tragic that the late actor’s life was cut short as he and his 15-year-old daughter Meadow were making so many beautiful memories together — but luckily the father-daughter duo made the most of the time they did have by turning Paul’s film roles into bonding moments.
Paul Walker and his daughter Meadow Walker worked to make every moment of their time together special, and carefully coordinated Paul’s work schedule so that they could spend as much time together as possible. Since Meadow never wanted her dad to miss out on a film role or adventurous opportunity, she encouraged him to take every experience — a bittersweet fact after his untimely death on Nov. 30.

The late actor was so proud that his daughter had taken on a major family trait early on in her childhood: fearlessness. He even proudly called the young teen a ‘warrior!’
Paul Walker sang his praises of his 15-year-old daughter Meadow Walker in many ways, but one thing he particularly admired about her was her adventurous attitude and ability to adapt to any new experience. Though his untimely Nov. 30 death was obviously not an experience he would have ever wanted her to go through, that same strength will be what helps her through such an awful emotional time.

Paul was so impressed by his teenage daughter’s resilience. “She’s a warrior, that one,” Paul told People magazine of Meadow in 2011, when she moved into his Calif. home and took on a new school. “She has no difficulty making friends.
