Rosario Dawson was born May 9, 1979, in New York City. She was raised in a Manhattan tenement building by her Bronx-born mother, a professional vocalist, and her father, who worked in construction. Although Rosario's parents separated when she was still young, they continued to live in the same building, allowing Rosario and her brother to remain close to them.Despite appearances in an Ethan Hawke production and other stinkers like Josie and the Pussycats, Rosario Dawson has earned stability in the entertainment industry through her sheer acting talents. This girl is going to be around for a while -- if The Adventures of Pluto Nash couldn't kill her career, nothing will.
