Dakota Fanning

Dakota appeared on The Tonight Show on November 10, 2003, where she declared that she and her sister shared room, and described co-star Mike Myers as very funny. Garner died from pancreatic cancer. Elle's first roles were as the younger version of Dakota's character in I Am Sam and Taken. Her final screen performance was a small part in a made for television feature in 1980. Dakota Fanning's sister, Elle Fanning, is a budding actress. After her film career ended, she ventured into stage acting and had some success, but also worked as a real estate agent between acting jobs in order to support herself. When she received the Best Young Actor/Actress award from the Broadcast Film Critics Association for her performance in I Am Sam, she was too short to reach the microphone to give her acceptance speech. Presenter Orlando Bloom held her up to the mike for the duration of her speech, which turned out to be quite long. Like many child performers, Garner was unable to make a successful transition into adult roles, although she did receive several supporting roles in films during the early 1950s.

At the age of 8, she became the youngest person to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award, for her supporting performance in I Am Sam (2001). She reached the height of her success at the age of 13 in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) winning an Academy Juvenile Award largely on the basis of this performance. She rose to stardom quickly, being chosen for a Tide commercial at age five. By 1938 she had made her first film appearance and over the next few years appeared in several more films including the young Jane in Jane Eyre (1944). Fanning learned to read at age two. Born in Canton, Ohio, Garner's mother pushed her into the limelight, and entered her in talent quests while Garner was still a child. Hannah Dakota Fanning (born February 23, 1994 in Conyers, Georgia), better known simply as Dakota Fanning, is a Hollywood actress. Peggy Ann Garner (February 3, 1932 - October 16, 1984) was a American cinema and theater actress.
