Following in the footsteps of her equally luminous older sister, Elle Fanning is showcasing her incredible talent in all the right projects. The 13-year-old recently finished seventh grade, but unlike other kids her age, she has work lined up for the rest of the year that many actors would give their eye for. The Fannings certainly know how to raise precocious children, a fact often made fun of on Saturday Night Live with the hilarious Amy Poehler spoofing Elle’s older sister Dakota. Elle talks about being under the direction of J.J. Abrams for the movie Super 8. Elle will also appear in films directed by Cameron Crowe and Francis Ford Coppola. There’s no doubt that Elle Fanning is on the same path that her sister had taken.
