Dakota Fanning

She's only 11, and she's one of the best actresses of our generation. From I Am Sam to Uptown Girls to War of the Worlds.

Wow!

What do you guys think, especially in War of the Worlds. She was AMAZING!

I wasn't impressed with her at all in "War of the Worlds", honestly. She didn't even have that many speaking lines on which to judge her, she just seemed bratty, and was relegated to an immature role that made her seem younger than she's capable of portraying. Almost..babyish.

Luv her in uptown girl and hide and seek..
that girl is seriously could act!! 😄

Oh, no. Not another disaster movie with kids!! Babyish kids, nonetheless - apparantly.

Can't they make one $150 million dollar movie with a cutoff age of 22????

you should see those movies..
this kid is talented..

i liked her in the tv series Taken!!!
havn't seen war of the worlds yet - it's on my to do list!

whats with her teeth?!?!?! they looked really nasty at the MTV movie Awards ❌

she is very talented but in war of the worlds she didnt have much of a role. But she has been great in some of the movies mentioned and Man on fire

She's getting older..I'd imagine her permanents are growing in..lol.

I think she can be an outstanding actress considering her young age.

I was blown away by her acting when I saw her in "Taken" and in everything I've seen her in since then... ✅
The episode of 'CSI' she was in and 'I am Sam' especially.

Haven't seen War of the Worlds yet but am really looking forward to seeing it.

She really is so talented for her age, and her lil sis elle is following in her footsteps too.

I noticed her teeth at the awards too, she has braces so obviously we're not the only ones who noticed something was wrong 😂
but she's only a kid... plenty of time to get them sorted. 🙂

hope she doesnt go the route Drew Barrymore went.. hope no one is giving her drinks... blah blah

And what is she capable of? What are her credentials?

I saw the movie last night and indeed she was very immature and bratty.

Alright, I looked up her resume and I will admit she was excellent in Man on Fire. When I say excellent, please keep in mind that I'm also referring to someone who is only a few years removed from tinker toys.

While I liked the movie, her performance in War of the Worlds was awful, and was a major step backwards from doing so well in Man on Fire.

And knowing Hollywood, I'm sure in a couple of years she will unfortunately be playing some 13-year old hooker who turns tricks for the high school football team. Sad.

And thats harsh! I haven't seen War of the Worlds but i think she is a great actor for being her age and all!

you dont know for sure what she will be playing in a few years... hate it when people talk about children that way 😬

He is just stating his opinion!

even though shes young and all shes a very good actress. she has come out in a lot of movies, tv shows etc. I enjoy watching her everytime.

I enjoy her films too!

I just heard this amazing fact:

Having Dakota Fannings name attached to a film is already enough to get it's financial backing... only a few A-List Actors have that power.

😱

now that's quite some achievement for her age.
