Before landing the dream role of Lisbeth Salander, Mara starred in 'Nightmare on Elm Street' remake and more.
Get used to hearing the name Rooney Mara.After an extensive search that reportedly focused on A-list names like Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" director David Fincher selected Mara to play the role of dark and damaged Lisbeth Salander. While hardly a newcomer to Hollywood — she starred in this year's "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and her sister is "Iron Man 2" star Kate — Mara remains largely unknown to the public.
That's all about to change. "Dragon Tattoo" is based on the first of Stieg Larsson's best-selling crime novels, a trilogy that has been published in 44 countries and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Anticipation for Fincher's adaptation, slated to get an Oscar-friendly December 2011 release, is already running high, with every casting rumor — Kristen Stewart as Salander? Ellen Page? — getting wide media attention.
So just who is Mara?
