Rosario Dawson Finally Ditches East Village
This week's New York reports that East Village patron princess Rosario Dawson is leaving New York in favor of the West Coast, where the actress will live with remarkably hunky boyfriend Jason Lewis and their overgrown dogs. Given her lead role in Christopher Columbus' adaptation of Rent, Dawson's departure is at a particularly intense time:
The role comes during a landmark year — ten years since Dawson debuted in Kids, and eleven years since Rent debuted at the New York Theatre Workshop on East Fourth Street.
"The anniversary has been very nostalgic for me and everyone from Rent. It s the circle of life," Dawson says, quoting The Lion King without irony.
She also invoked her memory, all alone in the moonlight. "I can smile at the old days," Dawson wistfully noted. "I was beautiful then." At her forthcoming change of residence, however, the actress was full of excitement: "It's a whole new world. I don't dare close my eyes."
