Today on Today: Looking Back on the Life of Dakota Fanning
The Today show featured Katie Couric on a leisurely horseback ride with child actress Dakota Fanning, who instead of playing with Barbie is forced to promote her new movie, Dreamer. Fanning is cute enough in her interview, but what truly made us sputter was the utterly absurd lead-in to the segment, in which Couric introduced Fanning's reel by earnestly annoucing it as, "Dakota Fanning, the early years."
The early years? The child is ELEVEN. Her "early years" were 10 minutes ago.
