OMG! yes! she is so amazing especially in 'i am sam'. i hated her role in twilight, though. she's one of my favorite child stars and she really stands out among the others.
To be honest, she kind of gets on my nerves. It was all I could do not to jump up and smack the screen whenever she was shrieking on "War of the Worlds." I guess to be fair she was just playing a role, but she played it so obnoxiously that I could barely stand it. Maybe she's a good actress after all if that was how the audience was supposed to feel about the character, but I suspect we were supposed to feel sorry for her.
I can't say for sure if I've seen anything with her in it as she's gotten older; I've not followed her career, but I loved her as a kid in Disney's Hocus Pocus. She was really cute.
I saw her once at a "Del Taco" with her Dad. I came face to face with her as she was running by me to throw her trash away. I said "OH.. aren't you Dakota Fanning"? and she smiled and said "YES!". Then I told her how I've always seen her in movies and on talk shows and how good she is and spoke to her Dad a bit. It was when she was about eight or nine years old.
