Rooney Mara

Have any of you guys seen The Social Network?  You know, that movie about Facebook.  Do you remember the opening scene where Mark Zuckerberg is having a drink with his girlfriend, Erica Albright?  Did you know that the actress who plays his girlfriend is named Rooney Mara?  And if you don't know who Rooney Mara is, she is the same actress who played Lisbeth Salander in the recent movie, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Yeah, that blew my mind, too.  It turns out that both movies were directed by David Fincher (who also directed Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, two movies that couldn't be more different other than both starring Brad Pitt) and he liked her so much in The Social Network that he had here try out for the part of Lisbeth Salander.  Here is another interesting fact about Rooney Mara, one of her grandfathers used to own the Pittsburgh Steelers (Art Rooney) and the other owns the New York Giants (Wellington Mara), two teams that have a combined 11 Super Bowl trophies.  Oh, and hence the name Rooney Mara.  Well, I just thought that this was something worth sharing.  That's all.
