  • ROSIE PEREZ

    Rosie Perez seems like the quintessential city-girl: streetwise, fast-talking, and quick on her feet. At least that’s what she’s like in her roles in films like Do the Right Thing, White Men Can’t Jump, The 24-Hour Woman, Riding in Cars With Boys, and It Could Happen to You. And she did grow up in Brooklyn. But she’s also played more contemplative characters, like the grieving mother in Fearless, which won her an Oscar nomination. Maybe we can find out what the real Rosie Perez is like, by looking into her Survival Kit.
