ROSARIO DAWSON - DAWSON SOBBED HER WAY THROUGH FILM SCRIPT

DAWSON SOBBED HER WAY THROUGH FILM SCRIPT

Actress ROSARIO DAWSON knew her new film SEVEN POUNDS would break hearts when she sobbed all the way through a script reading.
The Latino star plays a woman battling a heart condition who falls for Will Smith's character in the film - and she challenges everyone not to be deeply moved by the movie - and its message.
She sat down to read the script for the first time on a flight to Los Angeles with her mother and grandmother - and couldn't stop crying, particularly when she read the climax of the story.
Dawson says, "I loved it (script) so much and then (I) read the ending... I'm not a public crier per se, and I'm just sitting on this plane with people... I was a weepy mess."
And she was relieved when she discovered co-star Smith was just as touched by the film.
She adds, "We just went to a screening... and I was sitting there... crying, with a tissue, trying to be cool about it.
"Will walked out crying and I was like, 'Oh, thank God - not just me.'"
