Rooney Mara

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star, Rooney Mara, and her family must have done a lot of good deeds to receive this much fortune. Within the past week, Rooney got an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and the Giants scored a spot in the Super Bowl.

The talented actress is the granddaughter of late Giants’ owner, Wellington Mara, and the daughter of senior president of player evaluation, Chris Mara. With these family credentials, it is no surprise that Rooney braved rowdy fans to watch the New York team come out victorious against San Francisco.

Actress Rooney Mara has denied criticizing the NBC TV series, Law & Order: SVU.

The New York Post claimed that the actress, 26, spoke ill of the 2006 episode of the show that she worked on, in an interview with Allure magazine.

"It was so awful. So stupid," Mara was quoted as saying.

However, the actress, 26, has come out saying that she said no such thing.

"That was my first job," Mara said. "It couldn't have been more exciting for me. It's an experience I hold very dear to my heart."

Director David Fincher gave a backhanded compliment to Rooney Mara, the star of his upcoming film The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

In an upcoming interview with Vogue magazine, Fincher called Mara a "great weirdo."

Mara plays Lisbeth Salander in the film. She was interviewed along with Fincher.
“I have really enjoyed being a boy this year,” she said of the role. Mara added that the character changed her dressing habits.

The gritty high tech mystery series is getting the U.S. remake treatment courtesy of David Fincher. Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, which has already been put to celluloid in Scandinavia, will test Fincher's talents as a director as he tries to show the dark underbelly of the world around us. Cast as journalist Mikael Blomkvist, Danial Craig opened up to MTV this week about the casting of punk rock computer hacker Lisbeth Salander.
