In cinema, the girl is propelled in 2003 headlining: first with
Brittany Murphy for the comedy Girls of good family, then for the children's
movie The Headhunted Cat, with Mike Myers in the title role.
But it is the year 2004 which establishes its status of young
star: she is the little girl that Denzel Washington must protect in the action
thriller Man on Fire, of Tony Scott, and appears in an episode of the last
season of the successful sitcom Friends.
In 2005, she made four major projects: first, she played the
daughter of the protagonist of the thriller Trouble Jeu, played by Robert De
Niro, then part of the wide cast brought together by Rodrigo Garcia for his
drama Nine Lives; then she plays in the Dreamer melodrama, with Kurt Russell in
the lead; finally, and most importantly, Spielberg directs her in the science
fiction blockbuster The War of the Worlds. This time, it's the mega-star Tom
Cruise who plays his father.
In 2006, she is the heroine of the children's movie Le Petit Monde
of Charlotte, the adaptation of a children's book. This is her last role as a
little girl. Her next projects project her to pre-adolescent scores.
In 2007, she moved away from large productions to star in the
independent drama Hounddog, where she played a young American rebuilding
herself through her passion for Elvis Presley. The following year, she was part
of two choral castings: first that of the drama Fragments, alongside Guy Pearce
and Kate Beckinsale, and that of the historical melodrama The Secret of Lily
Owens. For this adaptation of Sue-Monk Kidd's eponymous book, she plays
African-American actresses Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah.
