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 Kennedy Onassis.

Early life and education

Schlossberg was born on June 25, 1988, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City, New York, [1] 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. [2] [3] [4] She is named after her maternal great-grandmother, the philanthropist Rose Kennedy. [4] She and her younger 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 estate at Martha's Vineyard growing up. [5] 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. [6] In 1996, she served as a flower girl to her uncle John F. Kennedy Jr.'s wedding. [7]

Schlossberg attended Brearley School, a private school for girls in Manhattan. [8] In 2006, she enrolled at Harvard University where she studied English literature and documentary filmmaking.

[11] In 2013, she graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a Master of Professional Studies degree focusing on video installation. [10]

Career

Schlossberg held various positions with Blowback Productions from 2010 to 2012, including associate editor, associate producer, and production associate.

In 2016, Schlossberg launched a comedy end time-apocalyptic web series titled End Times Girls Club, [14] [15] produced by Above Average Productions. [16] The series follows Schlossberg as she gives women comic tips to surviving the apocalypse. It was originally conceived from her master’s thesis installation at NYU. [17] Since then, it has evolved into several forms – as a TV pilot produced by Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels in 2017, [18] a Slumber Party Bunker installation in Paris in 2023, [19] and a TikTok channel. [10]

[23] [24] Schlossberg has also directed music videos for Hyd, [25] Dougie Poole, [26] Swaai Boys, [27] and Ducktails. [28]

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