Rose Kennedy Schlossberg (born June 25, 1988) is an American film and television producer known for co-producing and co-writing the Peabody Award-winning documentary series Time: The Kalief Browder Story in 2017.[1] [2] In 2016, she co-created End Time Girls Club, an end time-apocalyptic web series on YouTube.[3]
Born in New York City, she is a daughter of diplomat Caroline Kennedy and artist Edwin Schlossberg, and first-born grandchild of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. [4] [5]
Schlossberg was born on June 25, 1988, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City, New York,[6] [7] to designer Edwin Schlossberg and Caroline Kennedy. Her maternal grandparents were U.S. President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.[8] [9] [10] She was named after John's mother, Rose Kennedy.[10] Schlossberg has two younger siblings, Tatiana and Jack. Schlossberg's mother is a Catholic of Irish, French, Scottish, and English descent, while her father comes from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ukrainian descent. She was raised in her mother's religion,[11] but also observes Jewish traditions, holidays and holy days.[12]
During her early childhood, Schlossberg attended Brearley School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.[13]
In 2006, Schlossberg enrolled at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she earned a bachelor's degree in English studies, took film courses, and cultivated an interest in fashion.[14] 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.[14]
In 2016, Schlossberg co-launched a comedy and end time-apocalyptic web series with Mara Nelson-Greenberg, titled End Times Girls Club,[15] produced by Above Average Productions.[16] 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.[16] "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.[17] "I thought it would be interesting to create this world where girls have to be survivalists without compromising their cute factor."[17]
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.[16]
Schlossberg is a lesbian. She married her wife, restaurateur Rory McAuliffe, in 2022.[18]
