DAKOTA FANNING (Cale) most recently starred opposite Tom Cruise in Steven Spielberg’s global blockbuster “War of the Worlds.” Her recent film work also includes the thriller “Hide and Seek,” in which she starred with Robert De Niro and Elisabeth Shue; the action thriller “Man on Fire,” opposite Denzel Washington; and the independent film “Nine Lives,” alongside Holly Hunter, Sissy Spacek, Robin Wright Penn and Glenn Close.

At the age of seven, Fanning became the youngest actor ever to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for her performance as the devoted daughter of a mentally challenged man in “I Am Sam,” with Sean Penn. In addition to her SAG Award nomination, Fanning also won the 2002 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Young Actor. In 2005, she earned a Critics’ Choice Award nomination in the same category for “Man on Fire,” and also won an MTV Movie Award for Best Frightened Performance for her role in “Hide and Seek.” Fanning’s additional film credits include “Uptown Girls,” with Brittany Murphy; “The Cat in the Hat,” opposite Mike Myers; “Trapped,” with Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon; and “Sweet Home Alabama,” in which she had a cameo as a young Reese Witherspoon.
On the small screen, Fanning starred in Steven Spielberg’s Emmy-winning miniseries “Taken,” the Sci-Fi Channel’s highest-rated show to date. She not only narrated all ten episodes, but starred as Alie, the half alien at the center of a drama that pits her character’s parents against the government.
