Prepare your ears humans,

happy, sad, confused begins now.

Today on happy sad confused,

to Kona Fanning on the alienist and her comfort movie Almost Famous.

Hey guys, I'm Josh Harrowitz.

Welcome to another edition of Happy, Sad, Confused.

Very excited to say that we have Dakota Fanning on the show for the very first time.

Another one of these guests that, while I've talked too many times over the years for my various gigs never had the chance to

chat with Dakota on the podcast. She's been acting since she was what five or six or seven I think she got like a

screen actors Guild award for I am Sam when she was some absurdly young age and she

has never looked back she's been acting consistently since then and really transitioned

really admirably from kind of young child prodigy. You never know how that's

going to develop if they're going to stick with it to a young

woman with like an amazing collection of credits to her name and and a varied list of

credits you look back at the early works like Man on Fire and The War of the Worlds, and then you look at films like The Runaways, and she was in one of the Twilight films. And then most recently, she's, you know, emerged in no less than Quentin Tarantino's

once upon a time in Hollywood, and now in the Alienist, which is on TNT entering its second season as it were although

it's kind of a little bit self-contained so the second iteration of the alienist which

is currently airing on TNT of course that that project stars Dakota alongside Luke Evans and

Daniel Brule coming from inspired by a series of best-selling books by Caleb Carr.

But we talk really mostly on this episode of how books by Caleb Carr.

But we talk really mostly on this episode of Happy Second Fused about her comfort movie and

she really chose a fantastic one.
