Telluride Film Fest: 'Carol' actress Rooney Mara

Rooney Mara is 30 and has only been in a handful of films, but she's worked with some top directors, including Spike Jonze, Steven Soderbergh and now Todd Haynes for "Carol." Mara talks about how she never was good at anything until she found acting, how her moods affect what roles she chooses, and why getting a tribute at a young age is still a shock.

Rooney Mara plays, Therese Belivet, a young woman finding her queer identity in the 1950's in the upcoming film "Carol"
