Saoirse >> Biography

Saoirse Ronan was born on April 12th 1994 to proud parents Paul and Monica Ronan in New York City, New York. Although she was born in the United States, Saoirse was moved to Ardattin, Ireland with her parents when she was still young. Her father, Paul Ronan, is a famous actor in his own right, starring in films like The Devil's Own with Brad Pitt. As a baby, Saoirse accompanied her father to the set of The Devil's Own and was carried and held by Brad Pitt.

In 2003, she booked her first role, a recurring television role, as Rhiannon Geraghty on The Clinic for 4 episodes. 2005, she booked another television role as Orla Boland on Proof, also for 4 episodes. From there, it was impossible to stop her!

In 2006 came along her first movie role, a starring role, in a movie also starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd. She played the maturing witty daughter of Michelle's character, Izzie. The film was called I Could Never Be Your Woman. Though it turned out underrated, the light comedy proved to be Saoirse's first great movie when it was released. Next up, was perhaps Saoirse's biggest role yet! She was booked to play the evil character Briony Tallis at age 13 in the war-time drama Atonement based on the book of the same name, that also had big names Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, and Vanessa Redgrave signed on.

When the film released in 2008, Saoirse received an armload of awards nominations and wins for her performance as Briony. She gained the admiration of many. As a result of the film, she was nominated for an Academy Award! Although she didn't win, she had still done her job as an actress by capturing the love (and hate) of many people. Who says evil isn't good?

Next up, Saoirse booked the part of Lina Mayfleet in the science-fiction adventure film, City of Ember. The film co-starred Harry Treadaway as Lina's best friend Doon Harrow, Martin Landau as an overworking old handyman, and Bill Murray as the schemeing, stealing mayor. It was filmed in the Titanic quarters of the Belfast ship hall. Even though the movie seemed to be highly ancipated, opening weekend at the box office failed, after underadvertising, ending at #11. Though it was her largest film role, being featured in about 95% of the film, it wasn't as successful as anyone had hoped. Even so, she did earn several award nominations for her performance.

Another part that also earned her several award nominations was her performance as Benji McGarvie in Death Defying Acts. Death Defying Acts follows a con-artist mother and her daughter as they meet Harry Houdini in his last public performance in Edinburgh, Scotland before his death. Saoirse's performance was one of her best, as she used her keen ear for accents, having to use a Scottish accent. She was brilliant!

Next up, Saoirse will play the part of Susie Salmon in The Lovely Bones. The Lovely Bones follows the story of Susie, a victim of murder. Susie watches her greiving family and her cold-blooded murderer from Heaven. She watches as her sister falls in love for the first time, as her father becomes obsessed with vengeance, and as her mother falls apart at the seams. The film is directed by Peter Jackson, who directed the Lord of The Rings movies. Filming took place in Pennsylvania and New Zealand. The Lovely Bones is slated for a Christmas 2009 release, just in time for awards season. Saoirse is expected to pick up quite a few nominations for her part. She is also set to star in the fims The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and The Way Back. We can expect to see Saoirse lots of places in the future! We certainly won't ever be disappointed by her.

Even though Saoirse has a lot on her plate, she still has time to live a normal life. When she is not filming her wonderful movies, she attends school like any teenager in Ardattin. She also loves playing with her precious Border Collie, Sassy.
