Star’s fame confession: ‘A lot has changed’

There’s a gripping mystery and a flame-haired Australian actress, but Dakota Fanning notes clear differences between her latest whodunit All Her Fault and last year’s hit The Perfect Couple.

Working alongside Nicole Kidman

After collaborating with Nicole Kidman, Dakota shares her experience filming the new Hollywood project down under and reflects on growing up in the spotlight.

“There’s no dance,” she laughs about the much-copied flash mob scene from the 2024 Netflix series featuring Nicole Kidman.

She adds, “There were also more laughs to The Perfect Couple. I think this [All Her Fault] leans more into the thriller aspect. But what we’ve all learned is viewers really love mystery and trying to figure out who is involved … That really unites an audience.”

Working with Sarah Snook

Fanning stars alongside Sarah Snook, whom she admired after watching her acclaimed role in Succession.

“Sarah, in real life, is just amazing,” Fanning says of the South Australian native. “She’s such a talented actor and really a down-to-earth, grounded, fun person to be around.”

She notes that Snook’s busy schedule meant they didn’t spend much time together off set. “I think it’s been important for her to recharge and refuel and be with her family.”

Plot background of All Her Fault

Based on Andrea Mara’s novel, this eight-part series features Snook as Marissa Irvine, a distraught mother whose child goes missing during a playdate.

Author’s summary: Dakota Fanning highlights the shift in tone from her previous series, emphasizing All Her Fault’s thrilling mystery and the strong performances from her co-stars.
