Dakota Fanning Has Always Been 'A Known Person'

Elle Fanning holds on to a water bottle as she heads to dance class in Studio City, Calif., on Thursday afternoon (August 21).

The 16-year-old Maleficent actress was seen just the day before heading to the same studio for another class rocking a Rolling Stones sweater.

Elle‘s older sister, Dakota, was also spotted in New York City, running a few errands.

“Being a known person is pretty much all I’ve known,” Dakota shared in a recent interview. “I don’t remember much of a time when people didn’t know who I was. But you grow up and think about things differently, and you realise how strange fame is. If I can achieve it, I don’t want anyone to know anything about me.”

She added, “There was so much mystery in the movies back then [in the movies]. Some of that mystery has gone. I’m trying to work out what happened. Why do we need to know everything about everyone?”
