Abigail Breslin is My Sister’s Keeper

Fri, 07 March 2008 at 9:24 am

Little Miss Sunshine breakout star Abigail Breslin plays it cute in a few skirts on the set of her new film, My Sister’s Keeper, in Pasadena, Calif. on Thursday.

My Sister’s Keeper is a movie about a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned in order to potentially save her older sister. The Notebook’s Nick Cassavetes will direct.

According to Wiki, Dakota and Elle Fanning were originally set to play the sisters but Dakota changed her mind when she found out she would have to shave her head to play the leukemia-suffering character of Kate. Elle dropped out along with her sister, and they were replaced with Sofia Vassilieva (pictured below) and Breslin.

DO YOU THINK Sofia’s head is really bald or she’s wearing a bald cap?

I love Abigail! Amazing little actress.
I don’t know if Sofia is actually bald. I would imagine yes. If she could wear a bald cap, wouldn’t Dakota have kept the role?

I love Abigail Breslin, and I think the spunky attitude the synopsis used to describe her role fits her personality.

I think they really shaved her head. Dakota wouldn’t drop out that quickly if her sources told her it wasn’t true.

This is perhaps a bit far fetched but isn’t tha the girl in medium? Can she even shave her head is she is a main character in a show? Anyways my guess would be that that is a bald cap

I am tired of every child role going to Breslin. I’m not looking forward to watching her in the American Girl movie at all.

My mother read the book and wouldn’t stop talking about how great it was for weeks.

first of all ms. breslin is a snotty little b. i. t. c. h. who always gez what she wants second of all she’s a terrible actress and third of all of course that’s not a cap, if it was I’m sure dakota fanning would have kept the role…

Yes, it is the girl from medium, and she had really long beautiful hair, which would be nearly impossible to hide under a cap, whereas dakotas hair is kind of thin and probably would have looked better after growing back from being shaved….

She is bald.

Dakota Fanning and her little sister were originally supposed to play the parts but the one didn’t want to shave her head - so they replaced them.

The person calling Abigail a bi tch sure sounds like one herself, and a spoiled little snotty one, at that.

I’m looking forward to this movie. Good book, but very sad. I never liked Dakota Fanning, but love Abigail!

I red the book she dies at the end, at least on the book didn’t like the book

I love, love, LOVE this book, and I was really upset that the Fanning sisters got the roles of Kate and Anna, because I don’t think they can act at all. Now, I would never shave my head for anything, but then again, I’m not actor. Actors are supposed to do what their role calls for, and it’s clear Dakota is not that serious of an actress if she wouldn’t shave her head for a part. Natalie Portman did it for a role.
But I’m not complaining. I love Abigail Breslin; not sure about this girl, but hopefully she can pull it off.
Rayt - Dakota would have had to shave her head because she’s playing a dying cancer patient.

THANK GOD Dakota Fanning dropped out, I can’t stand her. I love Amy Poehler as her on SNL though so funny.

Abigail is so cute, I’ll probably watch it now that she’s in and Fanning is out

imogen @ 03/07/2008 at 12:36 pm

i am so glad abigail is playing the part in stead of dakota!
no offence to any dakota fans but i think she is a spoilt brat who acts like she is 17! Abigail is so much cuter and she has much more talent! and if the rumours are true then it proves that Dakota has nothing in the business, as looking like the part is part of acting

On her role Kate in My sister’s Keeper]: There are scripts when you fall so much in love with your character. And if you are lucky and offered this part you should not tempt your fate and go to the greatest extent to be/to play this character. If you have an opportunity to do that and you do not, it’s shameful. Shaving my head was the least I could do for Kate to experience the degree of her isolation and outcast from a ‘normal’ healthy life. It is like balancing between two realities

read it in her bio on imdb, very intelligent girl and speaks alot of languages and wants to learn farsi! as an afghan deeply impressed! can’t wait for the film, the book was amazing made me devour alot of jodi picoults books!

Breslin is NOT taking over for Dakota. Sophia is taking over for Dakota. doesn’t dakota make 3-4 movies a year? If she shaved her head she would be in wigs for a year. ..
By the time Sophia has to be back for Medium she’ll probably have enough to put extentions in or something. Damn, she had beautiful hair though.

Loved the book…SO happy that Dakota and Elle aren’t playing the roles of Kate and Anna. They’re decent actors, but I think Abigail and Sophia will do a better job. The Fanning’s are a little overrated, I think.

Love Abigail…she is always natural and sweet in interviews and her movies, so far, have been very entertaining. LMS was adorable and she deserved a lot of credit for its success. Go Abigail!!!!!

Yeah, Sofia shaved her head for the role.

That’s fantastic! It’s one of my favorite Jodi Picoult books, ever.

Jodi Picoult has some great books, but my favourite is ‘My Sister’s Keeper’. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for ages and have to admit I don’t particulary like Dakota Fanning that much- but I don’t really know anything about her sister.
Anyone thought that Dakota might have been jealous because her sister would have had a bigger role?

I’m glad Abigail and Sofia have the roles.

# 7. That skirt is nothing- it’s not even that short and you’re just being stereotypical.

# 11. How on earth would you really know what Abigail is like? Seems more like you’re speaking for yourself there….
