Biography

Saoirse Una Ronan, a talented actress, was born in The Bronx, New York City, New York, United States, to Irish parents, Monica Ronan (née Brennan) and Paul Ronan, an actor.

When Saoirse was just three years old, her family made the decision to relocate back to Dublin, Ireland, where she spent her childhood and formative years growing up in the city.

Before moving back to Dublin with her parents, Saoirse briefly resided in Co. Carlow, a rural area in Ireland.

Saoirse's early career in the entertainment industry began with a small role in a few episodes of the popular TV series, The Clinic, in 2003.

Her first film appearance was in the 2007 movie, I Could Never Be Your Woman, which marked the beginning of her journey as a professional actress.

However, it was her role in the 2007 movie, Atonement, directed by Joe Wright, that brought her international recognition and acclaim.

The movie, which co-starred Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, was a critical and commercial success, earning Saoirse an Oscar nomination for her outstanding performance.

At just 14 years old, Saoirse became one of the youngest actresses to be nominated for an Academy Award, a feat that solidified her position as a rising star in the industry.

Between 2008 and 2011, Saoirse continued to build her reputation with a string of successful movies, including City of Ember, The Lovely Bones, and The Way Back.

Her performances in these films earned her numerous award nominations, including an Irish Film & Television Award and a BAFTA Award.

In 2016, Saoirse received her second Oscar nomination for her role in the movie Brooklyn, making her the second youngest actress to receive two Oscar nominations at the age of 21.

The youngest actress to achieve this feat is Angela Lansbury.

In 2018, Saoirse was nominated for her third Oscar for her role in the movie Lady Bird, making her the second youngest actress to receive three Oscar nominations before the age of 24, after Jennifer Lawrence.

Today, Saoirse Ronan resides in London, United Kingdom, where she continues to pursue her passion for acting and captivate audiences with her remarkable talent.
