On the big screen, Dakota starred opposite Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer in I Am Sam, for which she won a BAFTA® award, and became the youngest actor ever to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild® Award.
Shortly thereafter, she starred in Taken, which became the Sci-Fi Channel’s highest rated show and won an Emmy for Best Mini-series. In 2004’s Man on Fire, directed by Tony Scott and released by Twentieth Century Fox, Dakota starred opposite Denzel Washington. Her performance won accolades across the globe.
Dakota also co-starred in Trapped, opposite Charlize Theron, Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon, The Cat in the Hat, and Uptown Girls. Dakota is an avid reader, is learning to speak Spanish and French, plays the piano, knits, collects dolls – and is having an awful lot of fun.
