Would You Let Your Daughter Do This?
Ugh...
I don't care how many Oscars this might get Fanning, having a twelve-year-old parade around topless in a movie (and engage - apparently nude - in a simulated rape scene with an adult) is just beyond the pale.
How despicable these Hollywood people are sometimes.

Cute-as-a-button child star Dakota Fanning, who turned 12 in February, is venturing into sexually disturbing territory in a movie being filmed in North Carolina.
The screenplay for "Hounddog" - a dark story of abuse, violence and Elvis Presley adulation in the rural South, written and directed by Deborah Kampmeier - calls for Fanning's character to be raped in one explicit scene and to appear naked or clad only in "underpants" in several other horrifying moments.
Fanning's mother, Joy, and her Hollywood agent, Cindy Osbrink, see the movie as a possible Oscar vehicle for the pint-size star.
