CONGRATS TO ROONEY!! She is on the COVER of the annual Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue, alongside fellow rising actresses Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska (some of my FAVORITES!).

Rooney is nearly unrecognizable in a new photoshoot in the February issue of W Magazine, which features the Best Performances on film in 2011. Congrats to Rooney on being in the company of people like Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, “Dragon Tattoo” co-star Christoper Plummer and fellow rising stars like Elizabeth Olsen and Shailene Woodley. I’ll try to get an HQ scan up soon!

Rooney Mara In The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
“For a year, I was Lisbeth Salander—I only wore black; I lived her life. Before this movie, I didn’t even have pierced ears. They put four holes in each ear, and my eyebrow and nipple were pierced. The only thing that concerned me was riding the motorcycle. I wasn’t nervous about the anal rape scene, but the motorcycle had me worried.”
