We May Already Have Our Next Dakota

It may already be too late to save Little Miss Sunshine’s Abigail Breslin from a regrettable Fanningisation by the Hollywood machine: “‘The greatest thing about Abigail is that she takes direction,’ the hunky actor [Aaron Eckhart], who plays a lovable chef, told us. ‘She’s so smart. She understands the whole script thematically. Most child actors can’t do that. They just recite lines their parents recite with them in the hotel room.’” [Rush & Molloy, 2nd item]
