Rosario Dawson is known as an American actress and political activist. She is most famous for her roles in films like 'Kids,' 'Grindhouse' and 'Sin City.'
Rosario Isabel Dawson was born on May 9, 1979 in New York City, New York. She was born to singer Isabel Celeste. Her father, Patrick Harris, was never part of the family. Greg Dawson, her stepfather helped raise Dawson from birth. Dawson's childhood was definitely not customary. At 6 years old, her family moved toward becoming squatters since they couldn't manage the cost of lease, and this living circumstance would proceed for quite a long time for the future actress and her family.
At 15 years old, Rosario Dawson was spending time with companions when she grabbed the eye of director Larry Clark. He cast her in his motion picture, Kids, along with a youthful Chloë Sevigny. Dawson played an explicitly promiscuous youngster in the dirty story about urban youth. Despite the fact that the film's topic was stunning to spectators and commentators alike, the actress's performance was riveting and the catalyst that got her showbiz career underway.
Dawson's one of a kind multicultural foundation and acting ability, alongside preparing from the Lee Strasberg Institute, helped her from being pigeonholed in Hollywood. Six years after Kids, Dawson handled her first feature-film role in Josie and the Pussycats in 2001, a remake of the prominent 1970s cartoon of a similar name. More roles followed in greater productions, including Men In Black II (2002), Sin City (2005), and Unstoppable (2010).
In July 2019, the trailer for the sequel to popular zombie comedy, Zombieland was released to fans around the country. Rosario will star in the film as a character named Nevada.
Dawson has stood out as truly newsworthy for her romantic life. She has been romantically connected to Fringe's Joshua Jackson, Sex and the City's Jason Lewis whom she lived with for quite a long while, hip hop legend Jay-Z and director Danny Boyle. In 2013, bits of gossip circled about the diva's supposed association with actor Michael Fassbender, and she later was engaged with entertainer and actor Eric Andre. Sadly for fans of Eric and Rosario, their relationship ended as quickly as it started.
In March 2019, Dawson confirmed that she was romantically involved with presidential candidate Cory Booker, saying she was thankful to be with somebody that she regards highly and love and respect so much who is so splendid and kind.
