Sadly, I saw Elysium.. It was part of a triple feature at the movies. She can’t act or even get an accent straight. I don’t know how she became so famous as an actress.
She was a child actor who was very comfortable in front of the camera, as was Drew Barrymore.
She made a lot of friends in the business, and probably demonstrated a fair amount of professionalism, making her a low-worry hire for parts that suited her.
Other than that, I agree with you.
