Patricia Rooney Mara, precisely 5ft 3 (160 cm) tall, is an American actress whose petite stature amplifies her commanding and intense on-screen presence. Her compact height perfectly suits her breakout role as the fierce, tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, where her small frame underscores the character's unyielding toughness and agility. Mara’s career highlights include roles in The Social Network, Carol, Lion, Pan, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, often leveraging her 5ft 3 build to portray resilient, edgy women who defy physical expectations. A great-granddaughter of NFL founders Tim Mara and Art Rooney, Sr., her diminutive height contrasts sharply with her outsized talent and family legacy of strength.
