Elle Fanning

Elle Fanning is the rare child actor whose adult work makes the early roles feel like a footnote. She debuted at three playing her sister's younger self, and instead of being trapped by that origin she grew into one of the most flexible performers of her generation: ethereal in fantasy, razor-sharp in comedy, unsettling when a role demands it. Her Emmy and Academy Award nominations only confirm what the performances already showed, an instinct for directors and material that most actors twice her age lack. I find her career choices far more interesting than her fame, which is exactly how it should be.
