Do you think their respective parents knew both of their children, who they happened to name Dakota, would both turn into famous actresses when they were born? Durrrrrr....... Dakota is a fantastic actress. Get over the name and enjoy her acting skill. She is a perfect Lyra. And not just for the hair either.

To be honest any good actor (not necessarily the same as movie star!) would be able to master an accent if the role requires. In any case Dakota Fanning is still very young so there's plenty of time for that and yes, she's an impressive actor.

Still, I can see why they picked Dakota Blue Richards - what with the curly hair, reminds me of Nicole Kidman in her early acting years. Not bad considering the characters are supposed to be related. Let's hope the acting is marginally better than the HP cast (sorry, HP fans! - lovely as they are I know and improving too if theatre and TV reviews are anything to go by)..

Nah, it's easier just to make glib remarks. I have to save my vast intellect for deeper philosophical issues.

Rather than really meaning to insults her name (which I still stand by) what I was really getting at was the chance that a UK actress would have such an American name, particularly when there is another actress of the same age and "style".

and what do you mean the British accent is difficult? You just say things like "cor blimey guvnor'" and you're sorted. Easy!

Perhaps you could do some actual research and find...

Perhaps you could do some actual research and find out why Dakota Blue Richards's parents named her that way, instead of insulting her simply because she shares her first name with Dakota Fanning. I also think Fanning's an awesome actress, but she's not British and as far as I know, has never used one in a role. British accents are also very difficult for someone who doesn't live there, thanks to all the numerous regions and dialects.

Hi there. I also wrote up some notes on the lecture and just discovered that the Bridge to the Stars people somehow found and posted them. Sort of a bizarre feeling. I saw from your comment over there that you think you might have been sitting next to me? The guy next to me was, in fact, taking notes during the talk, which made me feel a little better about my own geeky note-taking. Was that you?
