Why We Love: Rosario Dawson

The anticipated thriller film, Unforgettable, will be trending today as it hits cinemas in South Africa, and we’re amped up about one of it’s leading ladies – Rosario Dawson.

Rosario Isabel Dawson was born in New York in 1979 to teen mom, Isabel Celeste. It’s no wondering why this beauty has been blessed with exotic looks since seeing she is of of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent. A triple threat, Dawson is an actress, singer and writer, who made her debut into the entertainment industry, in 1995, taking part in an extremely controversial film named Kids. From there on she’s kept her fans entertained with the likes of films such as The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Gimme Shelter, Seven Pounds and much more.

In honour of the film, we’re taking the time to celebrate this strong role model, and all her career accolades.
