Rooney Mara
Although he has been in horror movies like A Nightmare on Elm Street. The origin , or in the skin of Lisbeth Salander in Millennium: The men who did not love women , the truth is that Rooney Mara does not seem to know what fear is, or at least stage fright.
Rooney Mara was born on April 17, 1985 in Bedford, New York, United States. If it had been a family environment, she, the third of four siblings, would have had to be an American soccer player, or at least a club executive, since her father occupies a managerial position with the New York Giants, her great-grandfather being the founder. of the team. But no, hers was going to be her acting career, like her older sister From her Kate Mara , also an actress. Which would not prevent formal academic training, since in 2010 she graduated in psychology and international relations from the University of New York. Or her participation in charitable activities, something she learned in her family.
In any case, Rooney does not respond to the cliché of “she knew she wanted to be an actress since she was a little girl”, and in fact it seems that her first acting steps were made almost by chance in student films made by her friends, while she was studying at the university. The love of watching classic movies and musicals also helped and, of course, his sister’s career, and in fact his first and fleeting appearance on the screen was in a movie by his sister, the not very memorable Urban Legend 3 (2005) . , a direct to DVD.
The fact is that this film helped him launch himself on the screen, small and also big, in horror titles like A Nightmare on Elm Street. The Origin (2010) and especially The Social Network , of the same year, where David Fincher entrusted her with the role of Erica Albright, the girlfriend of Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook. When Fincher chose her for this small but intense role -Jesse Eisenberg ‘s conversation at the beginning of the film is fascinating-, Mara could not have suspected that the same filmmaker was going to trust her for one of the most coveted roles of 2011 for young actresses, Lisbeth Salander’s in the American remake of Stieg Larsson ‘s hit Millennium: The Men Who Didn’t Love Women, where she has to endure comparisons with Noomi Rapace ‘s bisexual hacker in the original, comparisons from which she comes out well. An idea of her acting quality is given by the fact that Terrence Malick has signed her up for one of the new films prepared by the elusive filmmaker, Lawless , where she will be accompanied by Ryan Gosling , Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett , among others .
