Kirsten Stewart
Kirsten Stewart, a standout of the 2000s, embodied the angsty teen in films like Panic Room and the Twilight saga. Now, she’s a critically acclaimed actress, having shedded her teen persona and avoided falling into the typecast trap in favor of diverse roles. Stewart has demonstrated her versatility in Hollywood, showcasing her range from independent films like Spencer to action blockbusters like Charlie’s Angels. She’s also set to make her directorial debut with the biopic The Chronology of Water, scheduled to be released sometime in 2025.


Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning, a 2000s child star, had critics raving in films like I Am Sam and Charlotte’s Web. Today, as a seasoned actress, she tackles mature roles. From gritty dramas like The Alienist to voice-acting in Coraline, Fanning showcases her versatility. Now 30 years old (how is that even possible???) the former child prodigy continues to impress audiences with her ever-evolving talent. She’s set to star on the Netflix original series The Perfect Couple in 2024.
