Dakota Fanning Graduates High School: Which Under-21 Starlet Will Be America's Next Sweetheart?
You!
Add Photos & Videos
She's all grown up!

Dakota Fanning, who most of us remember as a tiny little girl in "I Am Sam" and "War of the Worlds," has graduated from North Hollywood's Campbell Hall Episcopal High School, People magazine reports.

And despite her flourishing Hollywood career, Fanning managed to be both a cheerleader and homecoming queen in high school (hate her yet?).

Recently, Fanning has appeared as a Volturi vampire in the "Twilight" saga and rocker Cherie Currie in "The Runaways," both co-starring Kristen Stewart. But will Fanning grow up to top K-Stew at the box office? And will she evolve into America's Next Sweetheart, like Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts before her?

She may -- but she'll have some serious competition from her own sister.

From the Fanning sisters to Emma Roberts to Willow Smith, click through our slideshow and let us know: Which under-21 starlet will become America's next sweetheart?

    I actually like Elle over Dakota, but Hailee Steinfeld held her own in a movie with amazing actors, and was nominated for Best supporting actress at the Academy Awards. This is just her beginning.

    I love Dakota in Dreamer, but not even her can make me want to watch the twilight movies.
    and I love Elle in Babel, and the curious case of Benjamin Buttons, Phoebe in Wonderland, and I really want to watch Super8.

    So its between Elle and Hailee for me.

    I like Dakota Fanning. Every movie with her in it that I have seen, I liked. Most Disney people fade out, and those related to big stars often get pampered because who their parents are. I think she's got talent and I hope she keeps doing what she's doing as long as she's lovin' it.

    Dakota hands down. Willow, Elle and Emma are all famous b/c of who they are related to (well partially at least). Selena is gonna fizzle out soon as will that Miranda girl. And today is the 1st time I have ever even heard of Hailee. I saw the commercials for True Grit and yeah I don't think so.

    sally
    She's better known than all of these other girls...

    I don't like Dakota Fanning, she will now only be known for being in Twilight just like Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.

    Elle Fanning? I only knew her because of her relationship to Dakota Fanning.

    Hailee Steinfeld was BRILLIANT in 'True Grit', but it's not really kid appropriate.

    Willow Smith sucks period.

    Miranda Cosgrove and Emma Roberts should really be in more stuff I think they're good. I can't wait for 'The Art of Getting By' :)

    Dakota Fanning is not only known for being in Twilight, she has done plenty of movies most of them good. Twilight is her lowest movie.

    Selena Gomez will always being known as the Barney girl who worked for Disney and dated Nick Jonas, and Justin Bieber. She needs boys to make her relevant, Dakota? she makes herself relevant

    And Elle is a good actress, same with Hailee, who already had a hit movie and an oscar nomination.

    But the question is asking who is going to be America's next sweetheart, Selena Gomez is a popular choice because she hasn't had a big scandal and only does inocent cutesy Disney stuff.

    I watched that one movie with Elle in it and I thought she did really well but it's not enough to get her noticed by more people especially because the movie didn't get very good ratings and ha, I guess it wasn't interesting enough for me to remember it's name.

    I used to like Dakota Fanning but lately not so much that I can't stand her and the choices she's been making as an actress.

    But Selena's movies have been flops.
    Her last movie didn't even reach 10 millions in the long weekend
    She is over-exposed, not popular.

    Popular with Disney

    Disney has a good marketing team, that's why their 'stars' are over expose.

    In her last movie, the critics said she was bland, and gave Leighton Meester the best performance in the movie.

    I watched that movie with my cousin when it came out, good thing I got in free because she really was, I was only going to watch it for Leighton Meester because I loved her in the Roommate and my cousin loves Selena Gomez. She may not be popular with an older audience but she is popular with kids and tweens, whether you like it or not.

    I have 2 teen sisters and a younger one of 11, they do not watch Disney or Nickelodeon.
    My older sister did use to watch Hannah Montana, but she was not a Disney fan.
    Selena Gomez doesn't come across as the girl with the power to be relevant without dating a famous boy. Or being compared to someone else.
  • sally Astoria... 2011/07/06 06:23:37
    sally
    She's not only famous for her famous boyfriends she also has her TV show which is ending... Or ended? And her music career. Just because you have sisters that don't watch those channels doesn't mean that thousands more don't watch them.

    She's not a very good singer in my opinion but there are many others that like her songs because of the lyrics. She will have fans because of her 'diversity', she can 'sing' and 'act' and even if critics do give her bad reviews there are things called 'die-hard fans' that will support her all the way.
  • Astoria... sally 2011/07/06 23:07:16
    Astoria Malfoy♥ Bass Redfern ~*In Harry Potter I Trust
    Every time she has a new project - movie or album- she starts dating someone famous just before the promotional tours.

    She has couple of fans that might stick with her for some years, but most of her fan base are little kids and tweens, and they move on.
