Rose Kennedy Schlossberg (born June 25, 1988) is an American filmmaker, writer, and actress known for co-producing and co-writing the Peabody Award-winning documentary series Time: The Kalief Browder Story (2017). She serves as a trustee of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, and has been on the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts since her appointment in 2016 by 44th U.S. President Barack Obama.

Born in New York City, Schlossberg studied at Harvard University graduating with a degree in English and New York University where she earned a Master of Professional Studies. She is a daughter of diplomat Caroline Kennedy and designer Edwin Schlossberg, and first-born grandchild of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, and first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.

Early life and education

[edit]

Schlossberg was born on June 25, 1988, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City, New York,[1][2] to Edwin Schlossberg and Caroline Kennedy. Her maternal grandparents were U.S. President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.[3][4][5] She was named after John's mother, Rose Kennedy.[5] She and her two siblings, Tatiana and Jack, were primarily raised in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and has also spent significant time at their maternal grandmother Jacqueline's Red Gate Farm at Martha's Vineyard growing up.[6] Schlossberg's father comes from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ukrainian descent, and her mother is a Catholic of Irish, French, Scottish, and English descent. She was raised Catholic, but her mother would also "incorporate Hanukkah" in the family's holiday party.[7]

Schlossberg attended Brearley School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.[8] In 2006, Schlossberg enrolled at Harvard University where she earned a bachelor's degree in English studies, took film courses, and cultivated an interest in fashion.[9] She graduated in 2010, going back to school a year later — at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) — earning a Master of Professional Studies in 2013.[9]

Career

[edit]

While at Harvard, Schlossberg was a research at the Radcliffe Institute.[10] She was a writer and researcher at Red Board Productions. Previously, she has held various positions with Blowback Productions from 2010 to 2012, including associate editor, associate producer, and production associate.[10]

She serves as a trustee of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, and has been on the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts since her appointment in 2016 by 44th U.S. President Barack Obama.[10]

In 2016, Schlossberg co-launched a comedy and end time-apocalyptic web series with Mara Nelson-Greenberg, titled End Times Girls Club,[11] produced by Above Average Productions.[12] The series follows two twentysomething young women, Bee (portrayed by Schlossberg) and Lara (portrayed by Nelson-Greenberg), as they give women comic tips to surviving the apocalypse.[12] "It came up as a response to seeing the way that New York City responded to Hurricane Sandy, and how people were grossly underprepared – specifically, girls in damsel in distress mode," Schlossberg told Mashable.[13] "I thought it would be interesting to create this world where girls have to be survivalists without compromising their cute factor."[13]

In 2017, she co-produced and co-wrote the Peabody Award-winning documentary series Time: The Kalief Browder Story.[14][15] In 2020, she collaborated with Dover Street Market and the non-profit When We All Vote for a video series campaigning for increased voter turn out for the 2020 United States presidential election.[16]

She directed, wrote, and starred in the short film Short Gay Tragedy #1 which debuted at the 45th Mill Valley Film Festival in 2022.[17]

Personal life

[edit]

During the 2008 United States presidential election, Schlossberg donated to Barack Obama's 2008 campaign and volunteered for Democrat Alan Khazei's campaign for the United States Senate in the 2010 special election in Massachusetts.[12]

Schlossberg married her wife, restaurateur Rory McAuliffe, in 2022.[18]
