Stunning actress Rosario Dawson was born and bred on the streets of New York City… and never meant to be one of Hollywood’s most in-demand starlets. But it all started when she was discovered on her front porch step! Screenwriter Harmony Korine saw her and immediately decided she was perfect for a part he had written in his screenplay that would become the controversial 1995 film Kids.

Since then, she’s been in everything from critically acclaimed indie flicks to major blockbusters like Sin City and Rent. Look out for Rosario in the Will Smith vehicle Seven Pounds, the thriller Killshot, and Sin City 2 next year!
