Rooney Mara

[kobro22]

I simply dont understand why the more of her interviews i read, less i like her? Or its simply i dont like how she comes across in interviews. It might possibly be that she needs more experience at these PR sides of the business.

Great for her nom.

I completely agree with you, I am now intentinally avoiding all interviews with her because I really want to love the movie and enjoy her performance, which is getting RAVE reviews.

I love her red capret style so much! Really fantastic job, does anyone know who's her stylist?

The Prabal dress was risky and different but not the most flattering look though, but its hard to compete after that magnificent white Givenchy couture. I love the DK jumpsuit look on Letterman, very chic and cool look on her

This Girl is on fire.
Been away for just 2 days and she's back with another hit look!! She clearly has an amazing stylist, he perfectly catches the spirit of the movie without overwhelming Rooney's charm.

As for her interviews I feel a bit awkward too. I've been obsessed with her since the very first trailer of TGWTDT, her swedish accent, her look I was really looking forward to her interviews to see how the girl behind the character was, but so far I'm not really excited by what I see. But I still like her though, I'm sure it just a lack of experience more than arrogancy

Can anyone ID her brownish fleece-looking jacket or grey tie shoes in #313?

I don't think she meant anything bad about Law and Order. She was just saying that she didn't like her character in it because her character would harm fat people just bc they were fat. I don't think she's ungrateful. I actually like her a lot during interviews. She has this shy awkwardness that I find compelling

^it´s not my intention to keep on going with the same topic but I think the quotes are pretty clear... "it was so awful, so stupid. people are obsessed with that show, I don´t get it." "who would beat someone up because they´re fat?"

I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, cause I liked her Letterman interview... maybe she´s still on "Lisbeth´s mode", 12 months in that frame of mind is a long time.
or
she´s what she seems to be...

either way, I like her style

Its really silly to be focusing on this Law and Order ordeal. For the media to blow up her quote and for everyone else to buy into this is so ridiculous.

I highly doubt it defines her character. If I was doing as many interviews as she does I'd probably say a few things without thinking much of it.

Rooney already has a bad case of Katherine Heigl Syndrome whereby she disses her former projects after happily cashing the paycheck. Rooney is worse IMO because at least Heigl had several successful TV series and movies under her belt.

From her Vogue interview.

After graduation, she moved to L.A., but pre-Fincher, her biggest role was in the disappointing 2010 reboot of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Mara minces no words about the experience. “I hated it,” she says. “It left me thinking, If this is what is available to me, then I don’t necessarily want to be an actress. And then I got the script for The Social Network.”

Most actors have had to start out at the bottom. The lack of gratitude for being given opportunities to build her experience is appalling. If she thought these projects were so stupid and embarrassing she should have refused them and sought roles in theater instead.

I find it quite off putting as well, because as much as I'm enjoying her style right now her interview keep me from enjoying it completely. It's hard to separate the artist from the person.

And she had what? a few bad projects? Look at Amy Adams career and then come back an complain, girl was in cruel intentions 2 with Mila Kunis for god's sake.

Did the media blow up that L&O quote? What other outlet is picking up on that?

I haven't met an actor who hasn't done at least one role they regret and will willingly tell you how much they loathed it. It's easy to say, well if she didn't like it she shouldn't have taken it, but if it's the choice between taking a movie role (in a well known but cheesey franchise) or dragging yourself round to eight auditions a day during pilot season only for them to look you up and down, decide your not right before you read, and show you the door, you'd take the naff movie role too.
They all, at some point, particularly the ones who suddenly find themselves the subject media focus with little preperation, say something stupid. I've had moments with clients when you roll your eyes and think, 'really, you can't be so stupid as to say that out loud to a journalist' but they do. Junkets are a nightmare because it's so relentless and they have to have the same conversations hundreds of times over, often I think they get tired of repeating themselves and something slips out.
She let her guard down once, said something she probably regreted the moment she said it, for the media to then latch onto that and perpetuate the problem (Law & order quote and Elm Street seem to be on many websites etc today) is what they do. It does nothing but build the barrier between press and subject even higher, I've seen it happen. They push something tiny into something big once and next time they expect a warm welcome and all the fabulous secrets. Drives me nuts.

 

[kokobombon]

Yeah, I guess this happens all the time with new celebs. I remember the same happened to Kristen Stewart...

Does she have more public appearances scheduled?
Where does she normally live?

 

[girlyevil]

I really didn't have a problem with her L&O quote. So many actors have admitted to doing roles they weren't proud of. It was the comment on sodomy and overweight people being bullied that were unnecessary IMO.

 

[Working Girl]

She is annoying. Even Julianne Moore speaks about her experience on a soap opera fondly.

Anyway, her style is great. I wonder will her style change once she grows her hair.

I think she should stick with the black hair. I was looking at pics at the beginning of the thread and she is utterly forgettable with brown hair. The black hair looks so striking with her skin.

You offer excellent insider perspective! Thanks I think we sometimes forget how young some of these stars are too, so of course they put their foot in it from time to time. And as you interestingly point out, they then become guarded due to the backlash and all we get is canned answers and politically correctness. It is like with stylists now: pure homogenization. People cannot say a "wrong" thing or wear a "wrong" thing anymore? I would rather see and have screw ups myself. We're all human.

BTW, she does have good style!

She is so striking, I agree - she should keep the hair
