Spotted: Dakota Fanning Graduates High School!
Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
Dakota Fanning just graduated high school. Go ahead, read that sentence again, it won't feel any less wrong. We know, it seems like just yesterday she was being all kinds of spunky and precocious in "Uptown Girls" and wowing us as the kid-who-holds-her-own against the likes of Denzel Washington and Robert De Niro. Quick: YouTube clips from "Eclipse" and "The Runaways" if you need a reminder that Dakota is indeed all grown up.
And kudos, Dakota, for doing it all while maintaining a pretty normal teenage life. Dakota was a cheerleader and homecoming queen at her school. That's some pretty stellar time management when her other extra-curriculars included "portraying a member of the badass Volturi clan" and "appearing on red carpets." If she had been part of the "Harry Potter" cast instead of "Twilight," we'd suspect time turner usage. Heck, we kind of do now.
Dakota's double life as a high school student and A-list actress came to an end on Monday when she graduated, decked out in a blue cap and gown with the rest of North Hollywood's Campbell Hall Episcopal High School's senior class (via People). Congrats, Dakota!
Could you juggle all that Dakota has? What should she do now that she's graduated? Tell us in the comments and on Twitter!
