Where is Saoirse Ronan from?

A: The three-time Oscarnominated actress was born in the Bronx, N.Y. But her Irish parents returned to Dublin when she was just 3, which is where she was raised. Ronan, 24, is excellent at accents, which was obvious in the critically lauded movie Lady Bird, for which she received raves (and a Best Actress nomination) for her role as a California teen. In the new romantic drama On

Chesil Beach (May 18), she and Billy Howle play young honeymooning Brits who are terrified at the prospect of consummating their marriage.
