Rooney Mara

Rambunctious role: Mara really burst onto the scene when she won the highly-coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

Rough Resume: Prior to "Dragon Tattoo," she was a relative unknown, but in the coming years you'll see her in Steven Soderbergh's "The Bitter Pill," an untitled Spike Jonze project and an untitled Terrence Malick project, plus hopefully the next two "Girl Who" movies.
