DAKOTA FANNING

Dakota Fanning is an actress who surely has been on screen for so long that it would be somehow hard to imagine her not being there acting. She rose to prominence at the age of seven for her performance as Lucy Dawson in the drama film I Am Sam (2001), for which she received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination at age eight, making her the youngest nominee in SAG history. Fanning had numerous appearances in her career, including I Am Sam (2001), Uptown Girls (2003), and War of the Worlds (2005). During an interview with former child star Freddie Hollywood on Variety’s Actors on Actors, the actress admitted that being a child star had actually made her doubt herself rather than giving her insurance.

Fanning had been successful in balancing her career in acting and her studies. She had attended as a regular student at Los Angeles High School. In addition to that, Fanning was also a varsity cheerleader.
