Dakota Fanning Bio
Shockingly articulate child actress Dakota Fanning seems like an adult at heart. Perhaps she’s an adult from another planet. She nails the subtleties of every role with scientific precision, made Forbes’ list of top earners under the age of 25 and has a penchant for fashion. Her pale skin and apparent early under eye circles have led some of us to wonder: Is little Dakota’s mom locking her in the basement and forcing her to recite her lines 100 times in a row for porridge? Born on February 23, 1994, in Conyers, Georgia, Ms. Fanning landed a flurry of bit TV roles before her casting in I Am Sam opposite Sean Penn in 2001 – which garnered a Screen Actor’s Guild Award nomination, leading to Uptown Girls, Man on Fire and War of the Worlds. Not bad for a kid.
