Saoirse (pronounced "sir-sha") Ronan was born on April 12, 1994 in rural Carlow, Ireland to Paul and Monica Ronan. Her father, who was an actor who lived in New York for 13 years, co-starred with Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford in "The Devil's Own" (1996) and would frequently bring his daughter to the set. Even as an infant, Ronan was already among the most accomplished Hollywood talent, even being carried around on set by Pitt, no less. So it was no surprise then, that by the time she was a teen, she was a natural, acting opposite Hollywood heavyweights such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer and Bill Murray, to name a few.
Saoirse made her first TV appearance with a small role in a few episodes of the TV series 'The Clinic'. Her first film appearance was in the 2007 movie 'I Could Never Be Your Woman'. Saoirse received international fame after appearing in the movie 'Atonement' (2007), which was directed by Joe Wright. The movie co-starred Keira Knightley, and James McAvoy. The film was successful both critically and commercially, and Saoirse earned an Oscar nomination for her role. She became one of the youngest people to be nominated for an Oscar.
After this, she continued to earn success and fame. Between 2008 to 2011, she starred in a number of successful movies, including 'City of Ember' (2008), which earned her a nomination for Irish Film & Television Award, 'The Lovely Bones' (2009), for which she was nominated for a BAFTA Award, and 'The Way Back' (2010), for which she won Irish Film & Television Award for Actress in a Supporting Role.
