Noomi Rapace

Noomi Rapace made Lisbeth Salander hers before Hollywood knew the name: her pierced, feral hacker in the Swedish 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' (2009) and its two sequels remains the reference version for many. Born in Hudiksvall, Sweden, in 1979, she crossed over as the gypsy fortune-teller in 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' (2011) and led Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' (2012) as the archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw. She played all seven sisters in 'What Happened to Monday' (2017) and anchored the unnerving Icelandic fable 'Lamb' (2021). Physical commitment and raw-nerve vulnerability define her work.
