Dakota Fanning Covers The Sunday Times

Dakota Fanning is on the cover of the April issue of The Sunday Times. Dakota is on the cover to promote her series The Alienist. Highlights from her interview are below.

On her new film The Bell Jar: “It’s such an important story, and really different from what people think it is. People think it’s depressing, or a biography of Sylvia Plath, but it’s not and there’s so much humour in it. You follow a young woman during a formative time in her life, and see how overwhelming the expectations of what women feel they are supposed to be like can be. We all feel that to some extent.”

On the difference between she and her sister Elle: “We’re apples and oranges. We’ve definitely had meetings for the same thing in the past, but it’s not weird because we feel so different from one another that it’s, like, ‘If you want me, then she might not be right.’ Elle wears her heart on her sleeve, she’s the typical younger one, very free-spirited and can’t be tamed, while I’ve always been quieter and more of an observer, and I keep everything to myself until I feel comfortable. She’s wild from the start, and her laugh is really loud and specific. You don’t hear me coming until you do.”
