Where you’ve seen Rosario Dawson

Since her debut in 1995’s controversial “Kids� at age 16, Rosario Dawson has appeared in blockbusters (“Men in Black II�), epics (“Alexander�), musicals (“Rent�), acclaimed indies (“A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints�) and cult favorites (“Grindhouse,� “Sin City�). Perhaps her most acclaimed performance so far was in 2008’s “Seven Pounds.� Her personal favorite, though, may be the little-seen rape-revenge drama “Descent� (2007), which she also produced. She wishes more people had seen it. “It bums me out. That movie was the beginning of being a better actor, being able to call myself an actor. It was very trying and very difficult, very hard-core material. For me, that’s what made it possible to get the performance I got in ‘Seven Pounds.’ That’s the hardest thing I’d ever had to do, ‘Descent.’�
