INTERACT > FAN STORIES > L.S'S STORY

My son and I went to the Dreamer premiere and party in LA last week. After the movie was over the theater cleared out but the Fanning party stayed behind for about 20 minutes. Nobody told us to leave so we just hung out with them and Kurt Russell. Elle was so sweet, quiet and wanting to talk because the attention was on all Dakota. We spoke a little about Mexico and I helped her to put on her sweater. She seemed surprised that somebody wanted to talk to her and not just big sister. She was so happy to chat about her activity. We walked them out to the limo. (Then security politely stepped in)

She (and Dakota) signed my "Secret Life of Bees" book and the picture of them jumping on the bed in their home in LA. She is so tall, almost even with Dakota, and so soft spoken and polite. Her manager, Cindy Osbrink, is always at her side, and her mom is right there also. But they never try to grab the spotlight. At the party Elle was still in the background, so we talked a little about Daddy Day Care and Wynn Dixie. She likes to be in movies with other kids. It was just another day in the life of a star. I wonder if Dakota is as quiet in the background when the party is for an Elle movie!

When Elle looks you in the eye you can really see the talent that will continue to develop. She looke right up at you but you need to lean down to hear her tiny voice.
