Claim to fame: Rooney Mara is an American actress. She was born in 1985 in a suburb of New York. Her father was the Vice President of the American Football Team, The New York Giants. Rooney has starred in movies like "Dare" and the 2010 remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street". She also beat out more well known actresses like Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson to play Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood version of the Stieg Larsson Millenium Trilogy series. Rooney Mara runs her own charity called "Faces of Kibera", an organisation that houses, feeds and gives medical care to orphans in a slum in Kenya, Africa called Kibera. It is Rooney's dream to build a proper orphanage in the area, as so many children in Kibera have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. So not just a pretty face but a heart of gold too!
