This is proof that child star Dakota Fanning is growing up as she strikes a sexy, rock chick pose on the front cover of V magazine and talks about kissing Kristen Stewart inside.With her blonde hair teased into a Brigitte Bardot-style poof the 15-year-old shows she is no longer the gap-toothed child who has starred in movies such as War of the Worlds and Sweet Home Alabama. In her latest film she plays Cherie Currie, an LA teen who becomes part of an all-girl rock band, snorts cocaine and smooches Joan Jett, played by Stewart.
The movie chronicles THE RUNAWAYS from 1975 – 1977; formed by teenage girls living near Hollywood, CA., and heavily manipulated by their manager Kim Fowley as ‘jailbait rock’ (all the girls were 16 or younger when the band recorded their first album). The band ultimately succeeds on their own merits as musicians, becoming the first all-girl rock-band to ever break into the world of arena-filling hard rock acts.
