Edition 26: Sisters
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.
The other sister pair that is featured on starletlinks.com is the Panabaker sisters; twenty year old Danielle and seventeen year old Kay. Both of them aren’t really big names in Hollywood yet but that doesn’t mean they won’t in the long run. We know already know they’re both very smart girls, something I talked about a couple of weeks ago. They’re also both very cute girls, Danielle is just quite a bit taller than her younger sister. They’re also both not that much in the spotlight which will help them probably; they can slowly build their career. Shooting to a big career right away hasn’t always proven beneficial.
Question just is; who’s the better actress? So far I’ve been able to see quite a lot of both and the result is. Best way to compare them is probably the Disney movie Read it and Weep where Danielle plays the alter ego of Kay. They just both do a good job, also in their other work I can’t really make up my mind. Danielle is currently doing a very good job in the CBS show Shark; meanwhile Kay is busy promoting her movie Moondance Alexander which already won a couple of prizes and is getting good reviews. Of course I haven’t seen that movie yet, the wide release isn’t until later this month.
So in this case I would actually say the both have an equally good shot at making it in Hollywood. They’re smart, cute and their getting acknowledgement for their acting talent. Guess they just need some more drama around them for the big public to take interest in them. Danielle plays a teenager that gets drunk and gets DUI’s on Shark; though that’s not real of course. They’re both steadily building their career so as long as they decide to stick to acting I think we’ll see quite a lot of them in the next ten years.
Also expect other sisters to come along in the next couple of years; no I’m not talking about Aliana Lohan. Her mother is probably ruining any chance of a career she ever had with her public dealing with Lindsay’s problems. I’m more talking about the likes of twelve year old Stella Hudgens, younger sister of Vanessa. She has been cast for the new Fox show Deeply Irresponsible, though it’s uncertain when the show will premiere. I also wouldn’t be too surprised to see a Disney show featuring Noah Cyrus at some point. There are also plenty of sisters out there I don’t even know about yet.
