Rosario Dawson, actress. Awarded in Turin for her career, she starred in "Kids", her first film.
Actress Rosario Dawson has been honoured by the Stella della Mole Award at the 42 Torino Film Festival, where she also presented the film “Kids” by Larry Clark, her first ever appearance on screen. In this nice chat we talked about her beginning, her relationship with Hollywood and the star system, and the will and capacity of staying down to earth.
A career that started by chance: being in the right place at the right time
Rosario Dawson recalls for us how everything started: the chance of meeting Larry Clark when she was very young, the faith her parents had in her in order to let her star in “Kids” and alla that followed. Even if she was looking for a ‘real’ job, she entered the movie business and never left.
