Rising Starlets 2010

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Like every year; here is the annual list of the young stars in Hollywood who I think have been doing a good job at building their careers. So a combination of past current success, mixed with things coming up in the future. A lot of it is my gut telling me things about how I feel about it, so I am biased. I don’t expect anyone to agree with me regarding this list but you know what? I don’t care, it’s my list so I stand by it. Though I have to admit; I had a hard time coming up with ten names. A lot of teen stars failed to impress this year and there isn’t that much new blood coming at the moment; seems like there is a bit of a gap between generations at the moment. (more…)

Edition 26: Sisters

Friday, October 5th, 2007

It’s quite common for siblings to be in the entertainment business. The same is true for the younger generation; people can probably notice that some people on starletlinks.com and starletviews.com share the same last name. This is of course because they’re sisters. Though it makes you wonder, who will have the bigger career in the end. So basically who is the most talented even though shear talent doesn’t always seem to be enough.

On starletlinks.com there are two main sister pares featured; Dakota and Elle Fanning are probably the best known ones right now. Dakota is four years older than Elle, that doesn’t really mean she works more though. While Dakota is in the spot light more than her little sister; Elle manages to pull of more movies a year than Dakota. Though I would have to add that a lot of the roles Elle does are smaller, supporting roles instead of starring roles. However she works with experienced actors like Denzel Washington and Brad Pitt, a perfect learning ground.

The fact that Dakota is in the spotlight more might help Elle in the end, she can stay in the background and slowly learn the trade. While Dakota might very well get stuck with the stigma of child star forever; Elle will probably have less of a problem with that. If I had to judge on pure talent I’m not certain actually, I have some movies with Elle and Dakota but not quite enough to form a definite opinion. Right now there isn’t that much of a difference between them I would say, though as I said I rate Elle’s chances in the long run higher. (more…)
