Rooney mara girl with the dragon tattoo

How hard did Rooney Mara have to work for “ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?” She got her nipple pierced, hair chopped, eyebrows dyed and posed topless, to say nothing about actually acting in the film.

Also, she barely ate.

A profile of Mara and “Dragon Tattoo” director David Fincher in the November issue of Vogue describes an awkward dinner with the pair in Sweden, where the film was shot:
