Rooney Mara: 'Today' Show Appearance!

Rooney Mara drops by NBC Studios to make an appearance on Today on Monday (December 19) in New York City.

The 26-year-old actress, who wore Roksanda Ilincic, chatted about her new movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and finding out that she’d been nominated for a Golden Globe.

“We’d had three premieres in three countries, in three nights, so I was kind of half asleep,” Rooney said of learning about her nomination last week. “I kind of forgot that that was happening, so I was very surprised.”

As for why she signed on to the movie – and subsequent sequels – Rooney added, “I had read the books, and like the rest of the world, I’d fallen in love with the character.”
