The first appearance was when she took part in a Tide commercial at the age of five. Shen then got some small roles in several famous TV series like ER, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Practice, Spin City, Ally McBeal, and The Ellen Show.  However, Dakota Fanning’s first prominent movie ever which took her to higher fame level was I am Sam (2001), in which she played the role of Lucy Diamond Dawson, a daughter of a mentally challenged man struggling for her custody, there she played alongside Sean Penn.

Next year, she played in an animation movie Charlotte’s Web.

In 2008, Dakota Fanning played yet another challenging role in an adaptation movie for a novel written by Sue Monk Kidd entitled The Secret Life of Bees with Jennifer Hudson. Nevertheless, those great and Box Office movies were still the representation of her “childhood” time, which in turn faded away once she took part in the making-money movie franchise Twilight Saga, in both New Moon and Eclipse, playing the role of one of the Volturi Guard, Jane. In 2010, the same year as the release year of Twilight Saga: Eclipse, she released her “musical” movie entitled The Runaways, where she played alongside Kristen Stewart.
