Biography
Rooney Mara earned two Academy Award nominations and two Golden Globe nominations by specializing in morally fractured female leads. Born April 17, 1985, into the prominent Rooney and Mara families, she started in TV and indie films before David Fincher cast her as the hacker Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), a role that secured her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She followed with the thriller Side Effects (2013) and the sci-fi romance Her (2013), then shifted tone for Carol (2015), a period romance where she played opposite Cate Blanchett and won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress, plus an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The actress went on to appear in the biographical drama Lion (2016), the supernatural film A Ghost Story (2017), and the biblical drama Mary Magdalene (2018), before a brief career pause. She returned in the psychological thriller Nightmare Alley (2021) and the ensemble drama Women Talking (2022). Beyond acting, Mara oversees the Uweza Foundation, which funds empowerment and education programs for children and families in Nairobi's Kibera slum, and founded Hiraeth Collective, a vegan clothing line. Born under Aries, Mara's career reflects the sign's willingness to venture into unsettling psychological terrain. As a Life Path 8, she channels the numerology's focus on power, authority, and material mastery into roles that examine control and agency.
