Dakota Fanning Career

Acting career

When Fanning was a child, she was an actress at the Towne Lake Arts Center in Woodstock, Georgia, where she appeared in small plays. She began acting in a Tide television commercial at the age of five in 1999. Her first notable acting work was in a guest appearance on NBC prime-time drama ER, which remains one of her favorite roles:

Fanning appeared on television shows, including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Practice, and Spin City. She also portrayed the title characters of Ally McBeal and The Ellen Show as young girls.

Fanning was selected to appear opposite Sean Penn in the film I Am Sam, the story of a mentally impaired man who fights for his daughter's custody (played by Fanning). Fanning was the youngest person to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award at the time, despite being seven years old at the time. She also received the Broadcast Film Critics Association's Best Young Actor/Actress award for her role. Fanning's appearance would later be included in Rufus Wainwright's "Across the Universe" music video; the song itself was included in I Am Sam.

In the science fiction miniseries Taken, director Steven Spielberg starred Fanning in the lead child role of Allison "Allie" Clarke/Keys. Fanning "has the most captivating young actress called upon" to carry a considerable weight by this time, according to Tom Shales of The Washington Post, who wrote that she had received positive remarks from several film critics, including Tom Shales of The Washington Post, who wrote that Fanning "has the right sort of otherworldly look at her."

Fanning appeared in three films this year, including as the young version of Reese Witherspoon's character in Sweet Home Alabama and as Katie in the film Hansel and Gretel.

She appeared in two well-known films a year later, playing the uptight child to an immature nanny portrayed by Brittany Murphy in Uptown Girls and As Sally in The Cat in the Hat. In addition, Fanning did voice-over work on four animated projects during this period, including voicing Satsuki in Disney's English language release of My Neighbor Totoro, a little girl in the Fox series Family Guy's English language release, and a young Wonder Woman in Cartoon Network's "Kids Stuff" episode "Kids Stuff."

Pita, a nine-year-old who wins over the heart of a retired mercenary (Denzel Washington), was hired to shield her from kidnappers in 2004. Fanning "is a pro at only ten years old, and creates a heart-winning character," Roger Ebert wrote. Mackenzie is a young girl who is moving out of the house Monica and Chandler are buying in 2004, and she appeared on season ten of the television series Friends.

Hide and Seek was her first appearance in 2005, opposite Robert De Niro. The film was generally favorable, but critic Chuck Wilson called it "a fascinating meeting of equals" if the child actor [Fanning] challenged the master [De Niro] to a game of stare-down.

In the direct-to-video film Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, Fanning performed Lilo Pelekai (taking over for Daveigh Chase). In addition, she appeared in Rodrigo Garca's film Nine Lives (released in October 2005), in which she appeared in an unbroken nine-minute scene with actress Glenn Close, who had her own praise for Fanning. She's one of those gifted people who come along every now and then." Fanning appeared in Coraline during this time as the leading lady.

Dreamer's filming was completed on Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story (opposite Kurt Russell) in late October 2004.

Kris Kristofferson, who plays her character's grandfather in the film, said she is like Bette Davis reincarnated. Fanning became a registered member of Girl Scouts of the United States during a special ceremony that was followed by a screening of the Girl Scouts of the San Fernando Valley Council's.

Fanning went on to star in War of the Worlds, co-starring Tom Cruise. Both films were released in reverse order (war in June 2005 and Dreamer in October). "How quickly she figures out the situation in a sequence, how quickly she frames it, monitors it, and how she would actually respond in a real situation" is praised by war director Steven Spielberg.

Fanning went straight to another film without fail: Charlotte's Web, which she started filming in May 2005 in Australia, premiered on December 15, 2006.

Fanning worked on the film Hounddog in press reports as a "dark tale of violence and brutality, with Elvis Presley adulation in the rural South" during the summer of 2006. Fanning's parents have been chastised for allowing her to film a scene in which her character is beaten. Fanning defended the film, saying to Reuters, "It's not really happening." It's a film, and it's called acting."

Despite the fact that the film was both a failure at the box office and with critics, Fanning's performance was lauded by Roger Ebert, who compared her to Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.

She was accepted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the same year, becoming the youngest student in the academy's history. She was ranked 4th on Forbes' list of "Top-Earning Stars Aged Under 21" in 2006, earning an estimated $4 million.

Winged Creatures co-star Kate Beckinsale, Guy Pearce, Josh Hutcherson, and Academy Award winners Forest Whitaker and Jennifer Hudson produced Fragments – Winged Creatures in the spring of 2007. Anne Hagen plays Anne Hagen, a girl who witnesses her father's murder and who converts to faith in the aftermath. Fanning appeared on a short film titled "Culass," one of Glamour's "Reel Moments" based on readers' personal essays in July. Kate Hudson narrated Cutlass.

Fanning's film Push, which centers on a group of young American expatriates with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities who disguise from the Division (a US government department) in Hong Kong, banded together to try to break away from the division's control. Cassie Holmes, a 13-year-old psychic, appeared in Fanning.

Fanning began filming The Secret Life of Bees, a Sue Monk Kidd novel. The story follows Lily Owens (Fanning), who escapes her lonely life and tense friendship with her father by running away with her caregiver and only friend (played by Jennifer Hudson) to a South Carolina town where an eccentric trio of beekeeping sisters (played by Queen Latifah, Sophie Okonedo, and Alicia Keys) - set in South Carolina in 1964.
