Saoirse Ronan is a talented Irish actress. Famous works of the actress: "Atonement", "Lovely Bones", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Brooklyn".
Saoirse Una Ronan was born on April 12, 1994 in the Bronx, but from the age of three she lived in a picturesque town in the southeast of Ireland called Ardattin. Saoirse's father Paul Ronan is an American actor best known for the film "The Devil's Own", where he co-starred with Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford. He never achieved great success as an actor, but it was thanks to him that Saoirse was firsthand familiar with cinema from childhood.
First steps in a career
At the age of 9, the young actress made her debut in the TV series "Clinic", and a year later she got a role in another series. It is noteworthy that at the same time Saoirse auditioned for the role of Luna Lovegood from the fifth film adaptation of the famous Harry Potter series.
Saoirse Ronan got her first significant film role in 2005. Then she played the daughter of the heroine Michelle Pfeiffer in the romantic comedy I'll Never Be Yours. Film critics praised the work of the young actress with a charming Irish accent. Many eminent directors wanted to shoot Saoirse in their films. Joe Wright was among them. He was looking for an actress to work in his new work "Atonement". After the film was released, the following was written about the heroine Ronan Briony: “Briony is a thoughtful, complex, thoughtful child and a wise child beyond her years”. Despite the fact that such famous actors as Keira Knightley and James McAvoy were involved in the film, Saoirse Ronan did not get lost in their background. For this role, the young actress was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actress category. For a 13-year-old girl, it was an overwhelming success.
The sudden collapse of fame did not spoil the young actress. Saoirse Ronan was still that spontaneous young girl who loved to spend her free time with friends and her beloved dog named Sessie. However, Saoirse switched to homeschooling. She was embarrassed that everyone at school considered her a celebrity.
Film work and creativity
In 2009, the director of the epic The Lord of the Rings and King Kong, Peter Jackson, offered Ronan a role in his new film The Lovely Bones, based on the novel of the same name by Alice Siebold. The film about the experiences of a teenage girl killed by a maniac neighbor is characterized not only by the excellent performance of such actors as Stanley Tucci, Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberk, but also by the unusual plot. The main character of the film dies at the very beginning of the film, and the rest of the time she watches her relatives from the other world.
Of course, Saoirse's parents were not happy that their daughter would star in the role of a girl killed by a maniac, but Peter Jackson was still able to convince them. Ronan's work in this film was again well received by film critics.

Over the next year, Saoirse Ronan starred in films such as Violet and Daisy, Byzantium and the vampire horror film The Guest. For the sake of working in these films, the actress refused to star in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina. In 2014, Saoirse starred as Agatha in the film The Grand Budapest Hotel. The film won the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Picture.
In 2015 Saoirse Ronan moves to New York. At this time, the piggy bank of her filmography is replenished with such films as “Stockholm. Pennsylvania "and" Brooklyn ". The first film is a psychological drama about a girl kidnapped in infancy. The second is a melodrama about a young Irish woman who moved to Brooklyn in search of a new life. For her role in this film, the actress was nominated for an Oscar, but the statuette went to Brie Larson, who played in the psychological drama "Room".
