Rooney Mara is the name on everyone's lips, and her movie hasn't even come out yet.
David Fincher's "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," and starring Mara and Daniel Craig, based on the first book in Stieg Larsson's popular Millennium Trilogy, comes out on December 21st.
The role of Lisbeth Salander will be her breakout role -- and she beat out stars including Scarlett Johansson to get it.
Rooney Mara was destined to be famous, but maybe not for acting. She is the great-granddaughter of the Pittsburgh Steelers founder/New York Giants founder Wellington Mara (pictured below). He was the co-owner of the Giants and her father also worked for the Giants.
Mara was born October 24, 1985. She and her older sister, Kate, are both actresses. Below is a picture of them at the premiere for "Nightmare on Elm Street," in which Rooney starred in 2010.
She made her film debut in 2005 in the straight-to-video horror film "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary." Older sis Kate starred in the film.
