TOP 10 best roles of Dakota Fanning - the most talented child in Hollywood (10 photos)

Child actors - this topic is interesting and controversial. Directors are a little afraid of them, because they require a special approach. Alas, not all children cope, but some of them are literally created for cinema and stage. However, their success ends almost immediately after growing up deprives them of their special childhood charm and charm. Case in point: Macaulay Culkin and the Olsen sisters, who were child superstars and then suddenly fell off the radar. Although there are those who were able to step out of the children's role. For example, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson from Harry Potter. But still, they all lost to Dakota Fanning. She can be called the most successful and talented girl in Hollywood of the 2000s, without whose participation the coolest movie hits could not have happened.

Dakota started acting at age 6! A year later she played one of the main roles in the film “I Am Sam” with Sean Pen. Well... away we go! As a result, Dakota was taken into all the hit Hollywood films where a child was needed. From 7 to 15 years old, she managed to play about twenty roles and become a movie daughter for the most famous actors.

This Dakota is already 30 years old and her younger sister Elle Fanning... is a little ahead of her in terms of demand. Although the girls are still very young and their best roles are yet to come. By the way, the film “The Nightingale” is due out soon, where she will share the main role with her sister Elle.

Now let's remember the TOP 10 best roles of Dakota Fanning!

I Am Sam (2001)





Dakota is the daughter of Sean Penn. The main character Sam is a 40-year-old man with developmental delays and the father of 7-year-old Lucy, who has already caught up with him in intelligence, whom social workers want to take away from Sam.

Wrath (2004)



Dakota is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who is protected by Denzel Washington himself (with the help of Christopher Walken).

24 hours (2002)





Dakota is the kidnapped daughter of Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend (where was Denzel?!). The roles of the kidnappers were played by Courtney Love and Kevin Bacon.

Hide and Seek (2005)



Dakota is the daughter of Robert De Niro, with whom something is wrong. Or does she just think so? This time, 11-year-old Dakota looked into a thriller or even a horror movie.

War of the Worlds (2005)



Dakota is the daughter of Tom Cruise. Everything is fine with him, but not with the world, since the Earth was attacked by hostile aliens.

Here Dakota is only 11 years old.

Hunted (2007)



Dakota is a teenage Elvis Presley fan from a poor family in the United States in the 1960s.

This is probably the actress's most controversial role, as her character goes through violence that is not left behind the scenes, as you might expect - in this terrible scene we only see her face, but still the 13-year-old actress acted out her reaction to the traumatic act . After the film's release, many viewers and critics were perplexed as to how the parents and creators of "Hounded" allowed the underage Dakota to participate in the filming of such a scene.

Afterwards, Dakota herself stated that this was just an acting game and she wanted to play a similar role, where her heroine shows that it is possible to overcome any trauma. Once again, one can be amazed at the margin with which she was ahead of her peers, setting herself similar tasks and encountering scandals of this kind.

Dreamer (2005)



Dakota is the daughter of Kurt Russell. She plays a precocious daughter who, in terms of the amount of paternal attention, is somewhat inferior to... horses.

The Secret Life of Bees (2008)



This time, the already noticeably matured Dakota played a daughter again, but one who runs away from her father with an adult dark-skinned friend. And around the southern states of the USA and the still racist year of 1964.

Charlotte's Web (2006)



One of Dakota's first leading roles, where she again played with the stars - Julia Roberts, Steve Buscemi, Oprah Winfrey and Kathy Bates. True, this time they all voiced animals talking to each other.

The Fifth Dimension (2009)



Dakota is the companion of Chris Evans, who are united by supernatural abilities. He has telekinetic ones, she has visionary ones. The heroine sees a future in which the two of them can confront a powerful corporation that uses people with similar abilities for insidious purposes.
