Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson was born on May 9 , 1979 . New York-born and bred actress Rosario Dawson made her screen debut in Larry Clark ’ s controversial “ Kids ” ( 1995 ). Rosario was literally picked off the street to play Ruby . Dawson -- who is of Puerto Rican , Cuban , Black , Irish , and Native American heritage -- had never acted before being cast in the film . Following “ Kids ,” she next appeared in Spike Lee ’ s , “ He Got Game ” ( 1998 ) and that same year starred in “ Side Streets ,” a series of vignettes about life in New York ’ s five boroughs .

Faithful to her New York roots through and through , Dawson has continued to star in films set in her hometown , including “ Light It Up ” ( 1999 ), a drama that cast the actress as an honors student caught up in a hostage situation , and “ Down to You ” ( 2000 ), a romantic comedy in which she played a freewheeling stoner . After jamming with “ Josie and the Pussycats ” ( 2001 ) and landing on the “ Sidewalks of New York ” as a teacher dealing with a failed marriage . In 2002 , Dawson had the distinction of appearing in two different science-fiction comedies that met dissimilar fates at the box office . She stepped into the female lead in “ Men in Black 2 ” after Linda Fiorentino decided to opt out of the successful sequel , but Dawson also appeared alongside Eddie Murphy in the infamous bomb “ The Adventures of Pluto Nash .” She continued to move between big budget films like “ The Rundown ” with more independently minded efforts like “ Shattered Glass .” In 2004 Dawson took on the part of the feisty woman who marries “ Alexander .” She showcased her versatility in 2005 by appearing in two very different films . She took on the part of HIV positive drug addict Mimi Marquez in the big-screen adaptation of “ Rent ,” and played a hardened prostitute in Robert Rodriguez ’ “ Sin City .”
