Child Stars: Then and Now

Dakota Fanning became the "it girl" of the silver screen in 2001 after her breakthrough performance in I Am Sam at age seven and moved on to the high-profile films Man on Fire and War of the Worlds. Her career is still going strong- she appeared in the blockbuster New Moon and is set to play opposite Kristen Stewart in this year's The Runaways.
