Rosario Dawson Short Biography
Rosario Dawson (born May 9, 1979) is an American actress, singer, and writer. She has appeared in films such as Kids, Men in Black II, Sin City, Clerks II, Rent, Death Proof, The Rundown, Eagle Eye, Alexander, Seven Pounds, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
Early life
Dawson was born in New York City. Her parents were 15 years old when she was born. Her mother, Isabel, is a plumber of Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent, and her father, Greg Dawson, is a construction worker of Native American (Apache-Seminole) and Irish descent. Dawson has one younger brother, Clay (b. 1983). Her parents divorced while she was in elementary school.
When Isabel was 21, she broke into an abandoned building on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where she and her husband installed plumbing and electrical wiring, to turn the building into a squat where their two children would grow up. Dawson cites this when explaining how she learned, “If you wanted something better, you had to do it yourself.”
