9. Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara shot to stardom after snagging the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in the film version of the best-selling book series by Stieg Larsson. However, before she was the girl with the dragon tattoo, she was the daughter of some pretty big names in the sports world. Mara’s mother’s family founded the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers, and her father’s family founded the New York Giants. Safe to say that, while both Rooney and sister Kate grew up to be actresses, they probably had a lot of exposure to football in their younger years. We’ve got to say, though, we just can’t picture the Mara girls hanging out in a stadium parking lot tail-gating and scarfing down barbecued meats.
