Elle Fanning has navigated her long career as a child star by thriving in the industry rather than succumbing to its pressures. With family support and a focus on her craft, Fanning embodies an optimistic and grounded persona that challenges stereotypes associated with child stars.
"I tried to wear the skinny jeans, the sexy dress, but it wasn't quite me... My family is very southern, so it's southern hospitality and southern manners," reflects Fanning on her identity amidst societal expectations.
"What changed all that was The Great, where I played Catherine the Great, a character who huzzah-ed, shot and engaged in romance in 18th-century Russia. It marked my evolution beyond being seen as a stereotypical child star," says Fanning, emphasizing her growth.
