All we need to know about Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson was born in May 1979 in New York City. She grew up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, raised by her mother, Isabel Celeste and stepfather, Greg Dawson. Her mother is a writer and a vocalist of Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent.

Celeste was a teenager when she gave birth to Dawson, whom she shares with Dawson’s biological father, Patrick C. Harris. They were married as teenagers and eventually divorced. Celeste then married Greg Dawson, a construction worker of Irish descent. He adopted Rosario Dawson and her younger brother, Clay Dawson.

Dawson’s family faced poverty and financial instability. When she was six years old, her mother moved into an abandoned building without electricity or water. Despite their challenges, Rosario Dawson’s mother made a name for herself.

She currently serves as the Executive VP of Development/Producer at Advent Entertainment, as described in her LinkedIn profile. Celeste is also the founder of Live One Vida and Mosaic Talent Marketing. She has also held a senior position at World Artists United.

Rosario Dawson viewed her stepfather as her hero and shared a close bond with him. She has opened up about his battle with pancreatic cancer. During an interview with People magazine in 2019 at the Toronto International Film Festival, she said:

“My dad has cancer right now, I’ve been leaving every other weekend for his chemo treatments. Yesterday we were filming and they worked it out so I could go home just an extra couple hours so I could be with my dad, and then do my screening, then come over here. They moved the whole schedule around.”

Dawson debuted in acting at the age of 15, when she was discovered by director Larry Clark and screenwriter Harmony Korine while sitting on the stoop of her Manhattan home. They cast her for the controversial film, Kids. Her breakthrough role in this film led to further roles in Sin City, Men in Black II, Eagle Eye, Josie and the Pussycats, and Unstoppable, among others.

Despite Rosario Dawson’s split with Cory Booker, they continue to maintain a cordial relationship. They first crossed paths at a political fundraiser event for a mutual friend in 2018.

Besides her relationship with Booker, Rosario Dawson has been in several high-profile relationships with actor Colin Farrell, Jason Lewis, Joshua Jackson, DJ Mathieu Schreyer, Eli Roth, and film director Danny Boyle.

Dawson never married and has no children of her own. Reports confirmed that she adopted a daughter named Lola when the child was 11.
