Football Goddess?

You probably know Rooney Mara as the star of the soon-to-be-released The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo movie, in which she plays the lead role of pierced punk/hardcore hacker Lisbeth Salander. A serious force to be reckoned with, even if you are James Bond (Daniel Craig).
But she's also the great-granddaughter of Tim Mara and Art Rooney, Senior. Mara founded the New York Giants. Rooney founded the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The story goes like this: Art Rooney (again, Rooney Mara's maternal great-grandfather) founded the Steelers in 1933. He named his son Tim Rooney in honor of Rooney Mara's paternal great-grandfather, Tim Mara (founder of the NY Giants). Then, a generation later, Chris and Kathleen Mara named their baby daughter Patricia Rooney Mara -- who eventually dropped the "Patricia" to become simply Rooney Mara. Who's now starring in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Tada!
