I'm not sure we should be judging someone who is ultimately a CHILD; there is bound to be critcism and should she ever stumble across this site, she could find it hurtful, particularly in that tender age. You know, just sayin'...

why how old is she?

thesydneygirl · 23-08-2009

you have a good point lonewalker... but i guess any person, chid or adult who is in this industry will always get criticism from somewhere.

She's 15. Born in 1994.
I don't it's a big deal, Dakota Fanning had her thread since 2005 when she was 11 or 12.
I loved Saoire in the Atonement!

Keep in mind people like Taylor Momsen are a matter of months older, yet her thread is full of comments of all shades

where is she from? I didn't quite make it from the accent.
I saw her being interviewed during the premiere, she reminds me of a young Lindsay.

Saoirse is Irish (born in NYC, raised in Ireland). she's an amazing actress! her accent and whole performance in atonement was flawless.

Although in traditional Irish, the name Saoirse would be pronounced "seer-sha", she says it as "sur-shuh".

Was in New Zealand when it was announced that she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Atonement (2007).

Was ranked #23 on Entertainment Weekly's '30 Under 30' the actress list. (2008).

Moved from New York to Ireland when she was three and has lived there ever since.

Peter Jackson cast her with the intent of having an "unknown" play the lead role of Susie Salmon, but things changed when in the middle of filming The Lovely Bones (2009), Ronan was awarded Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe nominations for her performance in Atonement (2007).

Was cast in Ridley Scott's vision of Robin Hood (2010), but dropped out in order to do Peter Weir's film The Way Back (2010).

Peter Jackson cast her as the lead character in his film The Lovely Bones (2009) based on an audition tape she sent in from Ireland. They were so impressed by the tape that they did not even meet her prior to offering her the role.

Wow, she's growing into her looks fast! Her outfit at the Lovely Bones premiere is pretty. Now, I'm just waiting to see the adaptation of the book on screen

^I agree. Some of the early reviews for the film have been very mixed though, unfortunately.
