Saoirse Ronan is an Irish-American actress best known for her critically acclaimed performances in films such as Atonement and Lady Bird. Over the years, she has established herself as one of the most talented and versatile actresses of her generation.
Saoirse Ronan was born on April 12, 1994, in New York City to Irish parents Monica and Paul Ronan. Her father is an actor who previously worked in construction and bartending, while her mother had experience in acting during her youth. The family moved to Dublin, Ireland, during Ronan’s early childhood and eventually settled in the seaside village of Howth. Ronan purchased her own home there in 2013. She initially attended a local school but completed her education through private tutoring, allowing her flexibility to focus on her acting career.
Saoirse Ronan's breakthrough role came in 2007 when she portrayed Briony Tallis in Joe Wright’s adaptation of Atonement. Her performance earned her an Academy Award nomination at the age of 13, making her one of the youngest Best Supporting Actress nominees in Oscar history.
She went on to star as Susie Salmon in Peter Jackson’s 2009 adaptation of The Lovely Bones, playing a young girl who narrates the story from the afterlife after her tragic murder. Ronan then showcased her dynamic acting range through roles in the action thriller Hanna (2011) and the vampire drama Byzantium (2012).
Her versatility continued to shine in Wes Anderson’s ensemble comedy The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) and she garnered further acclaim—and her second Oscar nomination—for her leading role in Brooklyn (2015), in which she portrayed an Irish immigrant navigating life and love in 1950s New York.
