Early life
Kate Rooney Mara was born on February 27, 1983, in Bedford, New York. Her parents are Timothy Christopher Mara, an NFL scout and vice president of the New York Giants for player evaluation, and Kathleen McNulty Mara (née Rooney).[5] She is the second of four siblings, with one older brother, Daniel; one younger sister, the actress Patricia "Rooney"; and one younger brother, Conor.[6] Her ancestry is Irish, one quarter Italian, and smaller amounts of German, French-Canadian, and English.[7] Her father is one of 11 children, through whom she has 22 aunts and uncles, and 40 cousins.[8][9]
She is a great-granddaughter of both New York Giants founder Tim Mara and Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr.[10] Her mother's side of the family has held ownership in the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers football team since its formation in 1933, and her father's side of the family has held ownership in the NFL's New York Giants since its formation in 1925. Her paternal grandparents were Wellington Mara and Ann Mara. Wellington co-owned the Giants football team from 1959 until his death in 2005, and was succeeded by his son (Kate Mara's uncle), John Mara, who is currently President, CEO, and co-owner of the team. Kate Mara's maternal grandfather, Timothy James "Tim" Rooney, has operated Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, New York since 1972.[11][12] Her granduncle, Dan Rooney, chairman of the Steelers, was a former United States Ambassador to Ireland and the co-founder of the charitable organization The Ireland Funds. Her first cousin, once removed, Art Rooney II, is the current President and co-owner of the Steelers.
Mara began acting at the age of nine in a school musical. She attended several youth theater-arts schools and appeared in community theater and in school plays.[13][14] In an Esquire magazine interview, she says she was "painfully shy" growing up, adding she only had one friend.[15]
Her first audition was for the NBC police drama Homicide: Life on the Street. She did not get the role, but knew from then on she wanted to act. Mara graduated from Fox Lane High School a year early, and was accepted into the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University to study musical theater, but deferred her slot to work as an actress.
Career
Television and stage
Mara's first television role was in the NBC legal drama Law & Order in 1997. She went on to guest star on numerous television series, including Madigan Men, Ed and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Mara landed two recurring roles in 2003, as Kate on Everwood, an 18-year-old who is impregnated by her piano teacher and then gets an abortion, and as Vanessa on Nip/Tuck, a bisexual cheerleader involved in a love triangle with her boyfriend Matt McNamara (John Hensley) and another cheerleader (Sophia Bush).[16] Mara also appeared on Cold Case, Boston Public, CSI: Miami and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation that same year.
Mara was cast as the lead in the 2004 The WB pilot Prodigy, about a teenage child prodigy.[17] She had a recurring role on the WB's Jack & Bobby in 2005 and a five-episode arc on the Fox TV series 24 in 2006, playing computer analyst Shari Rothenberg. Mara joined the cast of the HBO comedy-drama Entourage for the series' sixth season in 2009. She played Brittany, Eric "E" Murphy (Kevin Connolly)'s assistant at his talent-management company and a potential love interest.[18] Mara filmed four episodes for the series in 2009.[19] In 2011, she guest starred on the FX horror series American Horror Story, as Hayden McClaine, a student who becomes Dr. Ben Harmon (Dylan McDermott)'s dead mistress, a spirit trapped in the Harmon house.

The production co-starred Tony Award-winner Harriet Harris.[23] In 2006, she told WFAN radio that theater is a "dream" because it was "all I really wanted to do as a kid. I didn't care about movies or TV, I just wanted to do Broadway".[24]

Mara played Kay Matheson, one of four students that removed the stone in a Scottish nationalist plot. The period adventure-comedy co-starred Billy Boyd, Robert Carlyle and Charlie Cox.[32] Filming began in June 2007 in locations around Glasgow.[33] Mara felt lucky and proud to play a role that was important to people's heritage.[34] She stayed near the Botanic Gardens in the city's West End while filming,[35] attending the film premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 21, 2008.[36] The film closed the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, 2008.[37]
In December 2008, Mara appeared in T Takes: Brooklyn 09, a series of 6 improvised short films directed by Brody Baker.[38] She starred in The Open Road as Lucy.[39]
In 2009, Mara filmed the independent comedy Peep World, starring Michael C.

Thank You. More. Please. in New York City in July 2009. She plays a waitress and aspiring singer named Mississippi, in a story about six single New Yorkers in their 20s. The film was written and directed by actor Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother).[19] The film won the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[42] In 2010, Mara played hiker Kristi Moore in the survival drama 127 Hours, a true story directed by Danny Boyle about Aron Ralston, a climber trapped while mountaineering in Utah.[42]
Mara appeared in Ironclad (2011), which tells the story of the siege of Rochester Castle by King John in the year 1215.[43] It is her first film where she speaks in an English accent.[44] Mara appeared in the short film Ten Year, produced by Channing Tatum to attract financing for a feature film.[45] The full-length feature went into production in Albuquerque in January 2010, with Mara starring in a large ensemble cast film about a 10-year high school reunion.[46] In 2012, Mara starred in Stefan Ruzowitzky's thriller Deadfall with Eric Bana and Olivia Wilde.[47][48] In 2013, Mara starred in Broken Bells video for the song Holding On For Life.

Personal life
In 2015, Mara began dating her Fantastic Four co-star Jamie Bell.[54] In January 2017, the couple got engaged.[55] On July 17, 2017, the couple announced they had married.[56] As a result, Mara became the stepmother to Bell's son from his marriage to Evan Rachel Wood. In May 2019, the couple's first child together, a daughter, was born.[57]
Mara lives in Los Angeles[58] and Manhattan.[59][60] She credits her vegan diet and regular workouts for keeping fit.[61] "I'm a massive animal lover, too," she explained. "Being vegan has been so good for me. I never felt better."[62]
As a descendant of the owners of the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, Mara is a fan of both teams;[27][63] she joked, "If I'm mad at my mom, I root for the Giants, and if I'm pissed at my dad, I root for the Steelers."[64] This relationship contributed to her role in We Are Marshall.[65] Mara has sung at both teams' games,[11][66] and after missing the Steelers' 2006 victory at Super Bowl XL due to work, her contracts state she can attend if either team goes to the Super Bowl.[65] She was in attendance for the Giants' victory in Super Bowl XLII, the Steelers' victory the next year in Super Bowl XLIII, and the Giants' victory in Super Bowl XLVI.
Mara is one of the faces of the Humane Society of the United States.[67] In 2015, she was featured in one of their campaign videos to promote Meatless Monday.[68]
