Best known in recent years for her work in television as Zoe Barnes in Netflix's "House of Cards," Mara had quite the banner year on the big screen in 2015, with a slew of roles that demonstrated her acting range. In Captive, she played Ashley Smith, a single mother struggling with drug addiction who is randomly taken hostage in her own apartment. In Man Down, she is the wife of a former U.S. Marine, and in The Martian, she plays astronaut Beth Johanssen. Her most talked about role this year, however, was in Fantastic Four, where she stars as the smart and frequently invisible Sue Storm.
