Date of Birth : Feb 23rd 1994
Fanning’s breakthrough performance was in I Am Sam in 2001. As of 2009, her most well-known films have been War of the Worlds and Charlotte’s Web. She has won numerous awards, and is currently the youngest person ever to have been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award.
This role made Fanning the youngest person (in 2002, at age eight) ever to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award, for her supporting performance. When she won the Best Young Actor/Actress award from the Broadcast Film Critics Association for the film, she was too short to reach the microphone; presenter Orlando Bloom held her up for the duration of her acceptance speech.
In 2002, director Steven Spielberg cast Fanning in the lead child role of Allison “Allie” Clarke/Keys in the science fiction miniseries Taken. By this time, she had received positive notices by several film critics, including Tom Shales of The Washington Post, who wrote that Fanning “has the perfect sort of otherworldly look about her, an enchanting young actress called upon … to carry a great weight.”
