Hollywood Birthday

Happy Birthday, Dakota Fanning!
The star of “I am Sam,” “Charlotte’s Web,” and “War of the Worlds,” turns 14 today, February 23rd! (Doesn’t she look a little bit like a younger Jodie Foster in the photo above?)
The young actress is set to star opposite Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson in the film adaptation of the Sue Monk Kidd novel, The Secret Life of Bees. (A great novel, I might add. Can’t wait to see the movie!)
Hope you have a great birthday, Dakota! And please don’t turn out like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears. You’ve got too much talent and sweetness!
