Dakota Fanning joins the show to talk about her role in the limited series, Ripley. Based on Patricia Highsmith’s bestselling novels, the series follows Tom Ripley (Andrew Scott), a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, who is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud, and murder. Fanning recounts the exciting moment when she was offered the role of Marge Sherwood, shares what she loved most about working with her co-stars Andrew Scott and Johnny Flynn, and explains how writer-director Steven Zaillian elevated the series through his scrupulous attention to detail.  She also describes how she navigated the trappings of fame while growing up in Hollywood, expresses what it has meant to have her younger sister Elle by her side throughout their individual acting journeys, and shares details on her Italian themed "La Dakota Vita" 30th birthday party.
