There is Another.
Poster by Rickyv, based on the original movie poster
We are huge fans of Dakota Fanning. She’s a 40-year-old woman in the body of a 16-year-old. As Noel likes to point out, at age 10 she was flirting with Denzel Washington in Man on Fire. She’s played 500-year-old vampires (the Twilight series) and wasted rock stars (The Runaways). Dakota Fanning can do anything. She’ll be gunning for the Helen Mirren/Judi Dench roles next.
Just when we thought Dakota was the peak of precocity, we learned that There Is Another Fanning! Elle, 12, who stars in Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, little Dakota has a Mini-Me!
Given them five years and they’ll be ready to remake the Bette Davis-Joan Crawford classic.

Sharing with you a clip of the Fanning sisters in the English-dubbed version of Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro. Lea Salonga’s in it, too!

Oh, there was also this interview wherein Elle said something like if Dakota’s Meryl Streep, then she’s Marilyn Monroe.

Yes, there is! She is conventionally prettier than Dakota, but Dakota’s beauty has more edge to it.

The another Fanning actually starred as little Lucy in I Am Sam. They were almost alike at that time.

There’s something about those eyes that’s freaky effective. I suppose that will translate even if she were cross eyed. And then there’s two of them now? Why are currently out of such prodigies in this here third world; these two darlings will answer.
