Boston Phoenix, entire web fooled by Fanning quote
Filed under: Newsstand
I read this quote in this week's Boston Phoenix yesterday while sipping a grande Mocha Frappucino at Starbucks (side note: do they have the worst "pick up" area or what? Just some empty table at the end of the counter? Every time I've gone in there someone else picks up my drink before I can get grab it.) The quote is from Dakota Fanning, as told to Moviejuice.com:
"I'm the pre-teen Maggie Smith...if Maggie Smith had a stripper name."
I thought that was pretty funny, but I couldn't quite believe that she said it, even if she does seem smarter than most adults I know. So I did some searching and found out that a bunch of places have mentioned the quote (usually misquoting it completely), and very few people realize that the quote is completely made up! Moviejuice.com is a satire site, and made up the quote. (They also have an mp3 of an "interview" with Fanning, but that's satire too.)

In the last century of Holliwod, they did'n have such an excellent actrees like Dakota Fanning, with only 11 years old she has ben working for very inportant actors on earth such as Rovert Deniro as you most know frome the movie "Hide and Seek", and Tome Cruse frome the movie that still goin on in theathers "War of the Worlds" and many more, Dakota have done so much, more than a regular gerl of her agge will done on her life, i thing she will be inprove the next generations of making movies, so all the fans of Dakota are toataly invited to visit the Yahoo! gorup (www.yahoo.com/groups/dakotafanclub ) we have dedicat it to Dakota Fanning and be part of it.

#1: unless you're also ten years old, that's a little creepy
