Her first lead role was as the title character of Daniel Barnz' independent feature Phoebe in Wonderland, in which she starred opposite Felicity Huffman, Patricia Clarkson, and Bill Pullman.
On television, Elle Fanning has appeared in episodes of such popular shows as House, Law & Order: SVU, CSI: New York, CSI: Miami, Judging Amy, and Criminal Minds. She also starred in a second SciFi Channel miniseries, The Lost Room.
