Kate Mara

Kate Mara is an actress who works in major feature films and high-profile cinematic projects. Recognized alongside her sister Rooney Mara, the pair are described in news reports as Hollywood royalty and acting powerhouses within the entertainment industry.

Mara made headlines after teaming up with her sister Rooney for their very first on-camera movie pairing in director Werner Herzog's surreal drama Bucking Fastard. In the film, Mara portrays one of two intensely codependent siblings named Jean and Joan Holbrooke. The character duo functions with a single consciousness by wearing identical wardrobes, speaking entirely in lockstep unison, and together pursuing a character played by Orlando Bloom.

Herzog initiated the project by pitching the roles directly to Mara and her sister through a joint handwritten physical letter sent directly to the siblings. Following its completion, Bucking Fastard premiered at the Venice Film Festival to a roaring six-and-a-half-minute standing ovation from attendees before being showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival.
