Rosario Dawson (born May 9, 1979) is a Puerto Rican-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.

As a result, Dawson decided to pursue an acting career and attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. Dawson has worked steadily since her debut, with her performances often singled out for praise.
