Rosario Dawson movies

Her father is of Native American and Irish ancestry and her mother is of Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban ancestry. Dawson grew up on Manhattans Lower East Side and has a brother named Clay. She and her family squatted in an abandoned building during most of her childhood.

While attending school, she had aspirations of becoming a marine biologist.
Dawsons acting career began when filmmaker Larry Clark saw her on a Manhattan stoop and asked her to be in a film he was making. The movie, Kids, became a critical success and Dawsons performance was commended, and as a result she decided to pursue a career in acting; attending the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Dawson has worked steadily since her debut, with a mixed amount of commercial and critical success. As of 2007, she has worked with such notable directors as Oliver Stone, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and Spike Lee, and costarred with the likes of Will Smith, Edward Norton, Taye Diggs, Clive Owen and Colin Farrell.Dawsons films have varied; ranging from independent films, to highly successful big budget blockbusters, and large scale box office bombs. Among her successes are the Spike Lee-directed He Got Game, opposite professional basketball player Ray Allen, and Men in Black II, which saw her sharing the screen with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and among her failures are the long-shelved The Adventures of Pluto Nash (which was nominated for six Golden Raspberry Awards) and the live-action film adaptation of Josie and the Pussycats, though the latter did go on to find a cult audience once it was released on home video.In 1999, Dawson teamed up with Prince for the timely re-release of his 1980s hit "1999". The new remixed version featured the actress in an introductory voice over, offering commentary on the state of the world in the titular year.
