DAZED & CONFUSED JANUARY ISSUE: ROONEY MARA

Check out actress Rooney Mara on the cover of January’s Dazed and Confused Magazine. It is smokin..! Love the epic styling by Karen Langley, it’s so dark and dramatised. Shot by photographer Glen Luchford, the end result is amazingly edgy and uncompromisingly beautiful. I love the dogs, the birds.. the stunning black head piece, the dingy beach setting. The mood of the shoot is dark and dangerous and really emphasizes Mara’s unique, non-stereotypical beauty. I’m looking forward to actually reading her interview, she claims her character ‘lisbeth Salander’ is not that far removed from herself as she’s “always been drawn to darkness.” I love reading interviews with actors, its usually so insightful, interesting & beneficial to know how various artists, approach their roles.

 I must say that Rape scenes are usually the one thing I really can’t stomach watching. I wouldn’t have gone to see Girl With the Dragon Tatoo, if I’d actually known about that scene!.. No, I hadn’t read the book by Stieg Larsson..(bows head in shame) Nonetheless, I loved this Fincher Film and in my humble opinion, Mara is by far the best thing in it, her punky, adrogenous character kicks some serious rapist ass. It was such a pure pleasure to watch and exciting to see such a kick ass, powerful female screen role. An amazing film and an incredibly talented actress. Congrats Ms Mara x
