Georgia, USA, to Heather Joy (Arrington) and Steven J. Fanning. Her
mother played professional tennis, and her father, now an electronics
salesman, played minor league baseball. She is of German, Irish, English,
French, and Channel Islander descent.
Elle's ascent into stardom began when she was almost three years old, when she played the younger version of her sister, Dakota Fanning's, character Lucy in the drama film Ich bin Sam (2001). She then played younger Dakota again in Taken (2002) as Allie, age 3. But her first big independent movie without her sister was in 2003's Der Kindergarten Daddy (2003) as Jamie. She then had two guest appearances on Für alle Fälle Amy (1999) and CSI: Miami (2002).
Elle was becoming more successful and she got another role, in 2004's The Door in the Floor - Tür der Versuchung (2004) with Kim Basinger. Her career kept improving, as she had two movies in 2005, Winn-Dixie - Mein zotteliger Freund (2005) and I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006).
She has since starred in a number of prominent films, including Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button (2008), Super 8 (2011), Wir kaufen einen Zoo (2011), and Maleficent - Die dunkle Fee (2014).
