You Missed Your Calling Dakota @ 03/29/2012 at 9:09 pm

That movie was her calling. It represents what she is. Dakota was born to show us what she really is through that movie.

Dakota thrives on acting roles like this. It’s what she craves. Dakota is the real Carrie. The movie is not required.

The last person i see fit for playing carrie is chloe moretz! dakota would actually be the most ideal and believable for a remake, but smart to pass up remaking a classic because it could be a flop

Anyway, Chloe Moretz is, as Dakora, a fantastic actress. She also fits the role too. She has that strange face, like Dakota, yes, mysterious and strange, but beautiful. They both are great, so that’s ok.
