Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson (born May 9, 1979) is an American actress.

Dawson was born and raised in New York City. Her film career began unexpectedly when filmmaker Larry Clark saw her on a Manhattan street and asked her to be in a movie he was making. The movie, Kids, became a critical success and Dawson's performance was commended.
