Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson was born May 9, 1979 in New York City. Her father was an Irish and Native American construction worker and her mother was an Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican professional vocalist. Her career started abruptly and accidentally at age fifteen when independent filmmaker Larry Clark, encountered her on a Manhattan street and asked her to be in a movie, "Kids," in the role of Ruby. Not only was the movie a critical success, Rosario's performance was applauded. With success, Rosario abandoned her plans of going to college and becoming a marine biologist in order to pursue acting by attending the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, an institution that has welcomed many up-and-coming artists over the years, including Rebecca Gayheart.

Rosario has since worked for directors Oliver Stone, Chris Columbus and Spike Lee, starting with the latter's "He Got Game," and appearing in a series of vignettes which depicted life throughout New York City. She has costarred with Colin Farrell, Clive Owen, and Adam Pascal, appearing in three more small films: "Light It Up," "Down to You," and "King of the Jungle." She had starring roles in two major failures: "Josie and the Pussycats" as bassist Valerie Brown (2001) and "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," with Eddie Murphy. She has also appeared in significant roles, including the 2005 film musical "Rent" as the exotic dancer, Mimi Marquez. Rosario had a major role that same year in the comic book adaptation, "Sin City" and its upcoming 2007 sequel, "Sin City 2."
