She is only 12 wait to see where she is at in 10 years. Lots of kid actors show promise but then fall flat.

well, she already did one good movie and one great one - that's more than some grown up actors achieved in their whole career. but yeah, hopefully she won't end up like edward furlong, macaulay culkin and co.

To be fair, both of those actors, and a lot of other kid actors, just get my on a kind of precocious personality and "adorable" factor. While she is certainly pretty, she has shown in both cases that she is a serious actress and capable of some very powerful performances. If System Breaker doesn't break your heart you might not be human, and that whole movie is carried by her performance. Most kid actors just sound like the have been taught to recite lines but in that movie she sold the character of that poor broken girl. I never once felt i was watching a kid that have been trained to memorize lines. If she can continue to get roles that develop her acting I think she will go far.
