Dakota Fanning: 'Effie' in Venice!

Dakota Fanning gets into character on the set of her new film, Effie, on Wednesday (November 30) in Venice, Italy.

The 17-year-old actress stars as the title character about the infamous Victorian love triangle involving 19th-century art critic John Ruskin, his young bride Effie Gray, and artist John Everett Millais.

“I think actually in films I’ve done more adult things in other ones than I have in this one,” Dakota recently told the Associated Press. “But this is my first time being a wife and all of that, which is actually kind of exciting and very fun.”

“I get married in the movie,” she added. “I had a wedding dress. It was kind of surreal.”

Also pictured inside: Emma Thompson, who wrote the screenplay and also co-stars in the drama, and Dakota hopping into a water taxi the day before.
