Oscar nominee Rooney Mara's fast rise in Hollywood from 'Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' to 'Carol'

With a decade in the industry under her belt, Rooney Mara has already established herself as one of the most serious actors of her generation in Hollywood, securing her second Oscar nomination this year for her role in "Carol." 

The 30-year-old first received wide attention with her incredible transformation into Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," a role that rendered her unrecognizable and earned her that first Oscar nod.

Before that, her biggest roles where in a "Nightmare on Elm Street" reboot and "The Social Network," in which she appears for just a few minutes.

Mara, who's also the sister of "House of Cards" star Kate Mara, has six films slated for this year, including lending her voice to "Kubo and the Two Strings," a 3D stop-motion film from Laika animation studios.
