Her Girl Crush… Eleven Reasons We Love And Adore The Mara Sisters

Many are not aware that the actresses Rooney Mara and Kate Mara are sisters but you could probably pick it up from the talent level alone; the pair are unstoppable. Here are eleven reasons we love these lovely sisters. 1. House of Cards. Kate Mara stars in the brilliant original Netflix series where she plays reporter Zoe Barnes. Barnes always likes to fly a little too close to the sun but it is her character who is responsible for always pushing the story forward. She is arguably one of the best things about the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBabKoHSErI 2. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Yes, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a remake, but it was brilliant because of Rooney Mara. Mara played the independent Lisabeth Salander, a woman who aids in the search for a woman who has been missing for 40 years. Mara received an Oscar nomination for the brilliant performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KBPru-Pu5Q 3. Have you seen them? 4. Sisterly Love. The sisters are completely supportive of each other, in fact so supportive that when Kate read about the role of Zoe Barnes in House of Cards, Rooney put her forward for it without question. 5. Great Reputations. Rooney is just 28 while Kate is 30 and yet both actresses enjoy some of the best reputations in the business. They have worked with the likes of David Fincher and Christopher Nolan and appear in some of the best films and TV programmes of the last ten years. That's quite the achievement already. 6. Kate in Entourage She played assistant Brittany in the show and basically, she was the best assistant ever. Really, let's be honest. 7. David Fincher Both sisters have worked with the director in the past and believe us, this is quite an honour. Kate has worked with Fincher for the brilliant House of Cards while Rooney has appeared in the Social Network and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNbKZBZx1ns 8. Brave Roles Neither sister has shied away from any difficult roles. Rooney's role in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was harrowing to say the least, especially a very cruel rape scene while Kate really threw herself into the role for House of Cards, which fans of the series will know has a particularly difficult scene in the second series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SLXQz6qJOg 9. They keep a low profile. Ever hear much about the Mara sisters in the press? Not really. They like to keep a low profile which is completely commendable. 10. Red Carpet Style. One word. Stunning. 11.
