Irish-American Celebrities
Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara was born into a notable Irish-American family. One of her great-grandfathers was Tim Mara, who founded the New York Giants; another, Art Rooney, Sr., founded the Pittsburgh Steelers. She had a brief but memorable role in The Social Network in 2010 - her character breaks up with Mark Zuckerberg in the opening scene - then Mara hit is big by landing the juicy role of Lisbeth Salander in the American version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, playing opposite Daniel Craig and receiving an Academy Award nomination. Mara founded Faces of Kibera, a charity that worked to help orphans in a Nairobi slum; the organization later merged with Uweza Foundation, and Mara serves on Uweza's board.
