Biography

Saoirse Ronan is an Irish actress, born in the Bronx, who became known largely for period films. She began as a child in 2003 on the Irish hospital drama The Clinic, and won wide attention as the teenage Briony in Atonement (2007), earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Further recognition came with The Lovely Bones (2009), Hanna (2011) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). She received Best Actress Oscar nominations for three later leads: a young homesick Irishwoman reaching New York in Brooklyn (2015), the title student of Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird (2017), and Jo March in Gerwig's Little Women (2019). The second of those brought her a Golden Globe. She produced and starred in The Outrun (2024). On stage she played Abigail Williams in The Crucible on Broadway in 2016 and Lady Macbeth in a 2021 West End revival of The Tragedy of Macbeth.
