Elle Fanning

Often plays more thoughtful characters, but with a great emotional range
Frequently played older characters in her pre-teen and early teenage years, because of her tall stature
Often works with Sofia Coppola

At ages 11-12 she had an intense growth spurt, where she grew seven inches in a year and a half.
She was only three and a half years old when she attended her first Hollywood premiere.
Her mom named her Mary and her dad named her Elle, so her name is Mary Elle Fanning. Like her older sister, Dakota Fanning, she uses her middle name instead of her first name.
Is near-sighted and uses contact lenses most of the time. But she loves collecting "nerdy" looking glasses.
She had to miss her senior prom to attend the premiere of The Neon Demon (2016) at the Cannes Film Festival. Her date flew out to Cannes to recreate their prom at the red carpet.

Dakota [Fanning, her sister] is my favorite actress.
[on acting] "I love it. I just love how you get to be different people and have different names."
On being cast in The Door in the Floor (2004): "I'm glad they picked me to be Ruth."
On what her favorite scene in डैडी डे केयर (2003) is: "Oh I guess jumping in the flowers, and the water scenes, 'cause we got to be in bathing suits and swim in the water, and in the water fountain."
On acting: "What's the best part of a movie? I love to know what my name is. It's just so fun. That's the first thing I ask. It's just fun because you have a different name in every movie."
