Dakota Fanning slips into a fans’s selfie while leaving a business meeting in New York City on Tuesday afternoon (August 5).

The 20-year-old actress picked up an iced coffee on her way to the hotel.

“Wow, there are so many. I think an experience that I feel really close with was the first movie that I did do ['I Am Sam'],” Dakota recently shared with Huffington Post about magic experiences in her career.

She added, “Although I was very young, I still remember I was working with Sean Penn … and the story was really special, the experience was really special and it was my first introduction to what making a movie meant and it was such a doorway for me for everything else that I’ve done up to this point. So, I’m very grateful for that experience.”
