Looking Back on the Life of Dakota Fanning

The Today show featured Katie Couric on a leisurely horseback ride with child actress Dakota Fanning, who instead of playing with Barbie is forced to promote her new movie, Dreamer.

The early years? The child is ELEVEN. Her “early years” were 10 minutes ago. Via Gawker
