LOS ANGELES - Dakota Fanning was unfazed by being on her own for six months in Budapest or the dark nature of the TV series that brought her there, TNT's adaptation of "The Alienist," Caleb Carr's 1994 novel. The young actress said creating a life in Europe proved an exciting and "transformative" time, one that allowed her to disconnect from routine demands and "lean into the experience" and her role. She clearly doesn't shy away from work.
