My stepmom had Dakota Fanning, Elle's older sister, in her theater teaching camp as a kid & after working with her, told her parents she needed to get an agent immediately. After telling them that, she got an agent and quickly rose to fame with Elle following suit :)

shes been acting forever. i know you just made that up

[@juliannaevierivera]

Ryan Ciani I did not make it up. She was probably like 4 or 5 at the time. We have pictures and everything & she would even get us tickets to her movie premieres. My stepmom even still has the costume she wore in the play she acting for her in. I couldn’t give enough shits to make this up lol.

[@juliannaevierivera]

Ryan Ciani it’s even on her Wikipedia page 😂 states her first acting experience as performing in plays at Towne lake arts center which my stepmom founded & ran.

[@fatimateresa19]

It,s true though...I always wonder why some families just go to Hollywood to try to make it with their kids...its only one in a million chance ,like winning the lottery..I guess they won it.

[@Bigdogspyke]

Since when was pollen a Georgia slang word.....

Its just a word lol

Yessss. It's different we all say Atlanta instead of Georgia

She's just like a princess

[@katie-rl7vh]

i'm sorry she's adorable

[@chasehedges6775]

Elle Fanning is like Jeff Goldblum: She owns anything she's in and is such a presence.

[@Cavers]

How is "pollen" a slang? It's literally what it is.

[@gevilzombozo]

True

[@ryanciani3324]

its everywhere. its not slang. kind of confused why they made that the title

[@frzstat]

When Georgia is covered in pollen it feels like we are “scattered, smothered and covered.” Especially smothered!

[@MollyFC]

Or fall.

[@williamturner79]

Isn't pollen everywhere I mean I live in Georgia and I literally have to take allergy medicine everyday because of pollen

[@queenielovecastillo4545]

Is she not wearing any makeup? She looks so gorgeous, my favorite princess is aurora and she really is gifted with beauty

[@somisomi62]

Probably minimal. She's currently having eczema, but still pretty.

Don’t think she wears any foundation or tinted moisturizer.

Unless you think her eyelids are bloodshot, then yeah, no makeup.

As a life-long Georgian, here's some I feel were left out: 1. Coke - basically all soda 2. OTP and ITP 3. Y'ALL (More just southern slang in general) 4. Fixin' to 5. Georgia Peach 6. Dilly-Dally 7. Darlin 8. Bless your heart 9. Atlanna 10. False fall 11. 404 12. The Underground 13. Hotlanta (don't say it)

[@caleighrosebud]

Omg anytime anyone says Hotlanta it’s so cringe lol

[@heartscoops]

Why didn't Vanity Fair interview you? 1-13 on point

[@frzstat]

“Fixin’ to” was always the one that got laughs whenever I was working outside of Georgia. We just say “Undergound” without “The.” I remember the original, it was great (I was just a kid.)

8:34 "I haven't gussied up in a while" Seriously, Elle wears beautiful dresses in premieres and events. She's indeed a princess. For us fans, every dress she wore are the best dress. For me, my favorites were the Rodarte sequined skirt/shoulder puff blouse at the Harper's Bazaar party in 2017, and the pink Rodarte dress she wore in the LA premiere of Teen Spirit.
