Biography
On April 12, 1994, Saoirse Una Ronan became a citizen of the United States by becoming a resident of the Bronx Borough of New York City. Paul Ronan and Monica Ronan (nee Brennan) from Dublin were the parents of her, both of whom were Irish. Before becoming an actor in New York City, Paul Ronan, her father, worked in construction and bars.
Although she had appeared in several films as a child, her mother’s current job is as a nanny. The economic recession and subsequent famine in Ireland led to Saoirse Ronan’s parents immigrating to America in the 1980s.
For a small amount of time, Saoirse Ronan attended Ardattin National School, a nearby school in County Carlow. After home-schooling, she attended a local high school in Dublin, where she achieved her high school qualifications.
Career
Ronan appeared in the Irish medical drama ‘The Clinic’ in 2003, and then played a role in a miniseries called ‘Proof.’ Before moving to the US to pursue Hollywood, she auditioned for the role of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In the romantic comedy ‘I Could Never Be Your Woman,’ she had her initial role in Hollywood, where she starred with Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd. The movie was not released in theaters in the US, but it was released on video in 2008.
Her most notable role was in the film adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel ‘Atonement’, where she played a teenager who aspires to be a novelist. Her acting roles include ‘Death Defying Acts’ (2007) with Catherine Zeta-Jones, and ‘City of Ember’ (2008). She scored another hit with the 2009 movie ‘The Lovely Bones,’ in which she played ‘Susie Salmon,’ a 14-year-old girl who is raped and murdered but avenges the wrong done to her after dying.
She appeared in the war drama ‘The Way Back’ in 2010, portraying an orphan named ‘Irena’ who traveled with Siberian convicts to India in World War II. The action flick ‘Hanna’ featured her as a 15-year-old assassin in 2011, and her self-performed action sequences were highly praised by critics. Her role in 2012’s ‘Byzantium’ was more mature and gothic, as she played a young vampire alongside Gemma Arterton. Ronan was recognized for her screen presence even though the 2013 film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel ‘The Host’ was a major disappointment.
In 2014, she acted as a supporting character in the comedy film ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’. In 2015, she appeared in the film ‘Brooklyn’ as her biggest role. This film was inspired by Colm Tóibin’s novel of the same name and Ronan took on the main role of ‘Eilis Lacey. Film lovers and the media were highly impressed by her performance in the movie. She appeared on Broadway in the play ‘The Crucible’ in 2016, portraying Abigail Williams, a witchy maid accused of killing 150 people.
She was the one who voiced ‘Marguerite Gachet’ in the animated drama ‘Loving Vincent’ in 2017. Along with Billy Howle, she played a leading role in the romantic comedy ‘On Chesil Beach’. Greta Gerwig’s ‘Lady Bird’ was her next role and it was the best-reviewed film on Rotten Tomatoes. The character of Christine ‘Lady Bird’ McPherson, a high school student, was played by Ronan.
In May 2018, she will be a part of the film adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s play ‘The Seagull’ with Annette Bening. In ‘Mary Queen of Scots’, she will play Mary Stuart alongside Margot Robbie later this year. Afterwards, she appeared in movies like ‘Little Women,’ ‘Ammonite,’ ‘The French Dispatch,’ and ‘See How They Run.’ Garth Davis directed and co-wrote the 2023 sci-fi psychological thriller ‘Foe’ where she played ‘Henrietta’.
Net Worth
Saoirse Ronan’s estimated net worth is $7 million, largely due to her acting roles in Hollywood films such as Lady Bird, Little Women, The Lovely Bones, and more. Her Oscar-nominated roles and brand endorsements, including Calvin Klein and L’Oreal, have earned her recognition. The success in the entertainment industry and her real estate investments are also responsible for her wealth.
