She starts at the movies at the age of 18 months playing the role
of her younger sister Dakota Fanning in the movie Sam, I'm Sam and in the
series Disappearance (Taken). It was not until 2003 and the release of the film
Paternal School to finally see her get a role in a movie in which her sister
does not play, then the release of the movie Lifelines (The Door in the Floor),
alongside Kim Basinger and Jeff Bridges. The film's producers had originally
planned to hire binoculars given the frantic pace of filming, but were so
impressed by Elle that she played her character Ruth Cole entirely. The same
year, she appeared in the comedy Winn-Dixie my best friend, in the role of
Sweetie Pie Thomas.
In 2005, she stars stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in the movie
Babel. Two years later, she finds them in The Curious Story of Benjamin Button,
David Fincher, where she plays the youthful version of the character of Cate
Blanchett. At the beginning of 2007, she was part of the cast of the Dirty Sexy
Money series, but was replaced once the series was commissioned by ABC.
The late 2000s allowed him to be chosen for a handful of leading
roles.
Sofia Coppola entrusted him with the first female role in her
fourth feature film, the independent drama Somewhere, which allowed her to
succeed Kirsten Dunst and Scarlett Johansson, the previous young blonde actresses
heroines directed by the young filmmaker.
The film disappoints criticism and box office, but the
performances of the actors, and in particular Fanning, are hailed. Enough for
another filmmaker, J. J. Abrams, entrusts him the first female role of his blockbuster
Super 8, produced by Steven Spielberg. The young actress plays Alice Dainard, a
resourceful girl who wants to escape her drunken father at all costs by making
an amateur horror film with friends. Released during the summer of 2011, the
film has a wide critical and commercial success.
Francis Ford Coppola, also convinced by the young actress,
entrusts him with a role in his independent film, released discreetly at the
end of the year, Twixt. This year allows him to win the media: early 2011, she
appears in the short film The Curve of Forgotten Things, directed by Todd Cole,
which highlights the spring-summer 2011 Rodarte collection.
