Early life and education
editSchlossberg was born on June 25, 1988, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City, New York,[1][2] to author and diplomat Caroline Kennedy and designer and artist Edwin Schlossberg. Her maternal grandparents were U.S. President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.[3][4][5] She was named after her paternal great-grandmother, 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 place 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] In 1996, she served as a flower girl to her uncle John F. Kennedy Jr.'s wedding.[8]
Schlossberg attended Brearley School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.[9] In 2006, she enrolled at Harvard University where she earned a bachelor's degree in English studies in 2010.[10] While at Harvard, Schlossberg was a research assistant at the Radcliffe Institute.[11] In 2013, she graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a Master of Professional Studies degree.[12]
Career
editSchlossberg held various positions with Blowback Productions from 2010 to 2012, including associate editor, associate producer, and production associate.[11] She was also a writer and researcher at Red Board Productions, and also worked for television writer and producer David Milch.[13] She has since developed TV projects with Broadway Video, TruTV and Warner Brothers TV.[12]
She serves as a trustee of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation,[14] and has been on the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts since her appointment in 2014 by 44th U.S. President Barack Obama.[11]
In 2016, Schlossberg launced 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] Since then, it has evolved into several forms - as a Slumber Party Bunker installation in New York, a TV pilot produced by Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels in 2017, and most recently as a TikTok channel.[12]
In 2017, she co-produced and co-wrote the Peabody Award-winning documentary series Time: The Kalief Browder Story.[18][19] In 2018, she was commissioned by Dover Street Market president Adrian Joffe to produce a series of promotional videos for the retailer’s Los Angeles location.[20] In 2020, she once again collabotated with the retailer, 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.[21][22]
She directed, wrote, and starred in the short film Short Gay Tragedy #1 which debuted at the 45th Mill Valley Film Festival in 2022.[23] The same year, she helped open the permanent exhibit honoring John F. Kennedy at the Kennedy Center together with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and second gentleman Doug Emhoff.[24]
