Childhood and youth
Rosa Bianca Salazar was born on July 16, 1985, in British Columbia (Canada). Rosa grew up in the small American town of Greenbelt, Maryland. She is of Cuban descent.At 15, Salazar left her parents' home: she lived on her own, worked as a waitress at a pizzeria, and barely showed up to school. The actress does not like to talk about the reasons for this act, and only notes that in those years she made a series of wrong decisions.In the family, I was the child whom the parents put on the table and watched how she danced, saying, "Oh, our child is over-talented." In my room, I rehearsed emotions in front of the mirror all the time: I'm angry, I'm crying, I'm worried, I want to sleep.
Rosa Salazar in the films
Soon after moving to the City of Angels, Salazar first appeared on screen, though only in a tiny bit part in the comedy series Parenthood. Her contract was then extended to three episodes, and eventually to eighteen. After that came a bit part in an episode of the crime saga Law & Order: Los Angeles, followed by a more significant role in several episodes of American Horror Story: Murder House's first season. She played Nurse Maria, who was killed by a maniac in 1968 and returned as a ghost.
In 2014, the actress starred in the crime drama Jamesy Boy (dir. Trevor White) and the comedy Search Party (dir. Scot Armstrong). But Salazar's biggest breakthrough roles were still to come.
In 2015, the actress landed the role of Lynn, a Dauntless-born friend of Uriah (Keiynan Lonsdale) and Marlene (Suki Waterhouse) in the dystopian film The Divergent Series: Insurgent.
Working on this project gave Rosa the chance to work alongside major stars like Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, Ansel Elgort, and Zoe Kravitz.
Soon after, she landed the lead role in the comedy Night Owls (dir. Charles Hood), followed by an appearance in the dystopian film Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (dir. Wes Ball) as Brenda, Thomas's (Dylan O'Brien) savior. Her character returned in the franchise's fourth installment, which hit theaters in early 2018.The old version of me, as well as my characters in Night Owls, The Divergent Series: Insurgent and Maze Runner are nothing but the open wounds. They are like angry Pit Bulls that bark at people and bite, but if they meet a person who makes a little effort to understand them, they turn into loyal pets.
That same year, she voiced a character in the animated series Big Mouth and released her debut short film Good Crazy, in which she played one of the lead roles.
In 2017, Salazar starred alongside Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gael Garcia Bernal in Sara Colangelo's drama The Kindergarten Teacher, which won acclaim from the Sundance Film Festival jury.
