Meet Rosario Dawson. Yes, you know her, but maybe you didn't know that she grew up in a squat in the lower east side, and she was discovered on her front porch by Kids director Larry Clark. Now she is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Cinderella, anyone?
She's killed dramatic roles in Sin City and Seven Pounds, but her latest film, Zookeeper, is her first foray into comedy. Well, technically Clerks II was her first comedy, but we're going to count a film that discusses "ass to mouth" as a different type of humor.
We sat down with Dawson one-on-one, (which seemed more like coffee with our BFF) and talked about her 16 years in the business, swinging like a girl, family ties, and David Bowie.
New Times: We know you have done Clerks II, but other than that, this is your first comedy, right?
Rosario Dawson: That was a very genre-specific comedy. For most people, this will be my first comedy. Zookeeper is such a different type of humor. I loved that. I do a lot of dramatic, hardcore, and intense stuff. It's difficult and I usually just need to put my walls up and disappear for a little bit. But for this one, my cousins, my brother and my dad all came to visit. I was able to have a ton of guests come and meet all the animals.
