Burge Onin Gsilt

Her role in "Atonement" earned Saoirse Ronan a Golden Globe nomination, but she hasn't read the Ian McEwan novel the movie is based on. Ronan is only 13, and the book deals with sexual themes. "Atonement" is Ronan's third film, but the Irish actress is already getting attention for her role as the young Briony Tallis. In 2008, she is to appear with Bill Murray in the action-fantasy "City of Ember" and star as a con artist in "Death Defying Acts" alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones. She also has the lead role in Peter Jackson film version of "The Lovely Bones" - another book she hasn't read because of its mature content.
