Mary Elle Fanning was born on the 9th of April 1998 in Conyers, Georgia, USA, to Heather Joy (Arrington) and Steven J. Fanning. Her mother played professional tennis, and her father, now an electronics salesman, played minor league baseball. She is of German, Irish, English, French, and Channel Islander descent. Elle's ascent into stardom began when she was almost three years old, when she played the younger version of her sister, Dakota Fanning's, character Lucy in the drama film Mi chiamo Sam (2001). She then played younger Dakota again in Taken (2002) as Allie, age 3. But her first big independent movie without her sister was in 2003's L'asilo dei papà (2003) as Jamie. She then had two guest appearances on Giudice Amy (1999) and CSI: Miami (2002). Elle was becoming more successful and she got another role, in 2004's The Door in the Floor (2004) with Kim Basinger. Her career kept improving, as she had two movies in 2005, Il mio amico a quattro zampe (2005) and I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006). She has since starred in a number of prominent films, including Il curioso caso di Benjamin Button (2008), Super 8 (2011), La mia vita è uno zoo (2011), and Maleficent (2014).
