At the Rome Film Festival:



Young Nellie Lonergan with her father, writer/director Kenneth Lonergan, and actress J. Cameron-Smith at the premiere of Manchester by the Sea at the Auditorium Parco Della Musica on October 14.

At the Hamptons Film Festival:




Elle Fanning, 18, with costar Lucas Jade Zumann, at a screening of 20th Century Women at Guild Hall on October 9. The film is about a bohemian single mother (Annette Bening) raising her teenage son (Lucas, in his breakout role) in the 1970's. Elle has a part as his love interest.




And Elle's big sister Dakota Fanning, 22, at a screening of American Pastoral at Guild Hall on October 10. Dakota has been attending a lot of premieres to promote American Pastoral, a '60s family drama and Ewan McGregor's directorial debut, but the film has failed to generate many good reviews.

At the New York Film Festival:




Elle Fanning again, this time with Lucas Jade Zumann and Annette Bening, at a screening of 20th Century Women on October 8. A few days later, returning to Los Angeles from New York, Elle nonchalantly walked barefoot through LAX Airport. She later posted on her Instagram: Feet too swollen and blistered to cram in my heels. No backup shoes in my carry on. #freethefoot




Dakota's fellow former Runaway Kristen Stewart, 26 (with costar Joe Alwyn), at a screening of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (about an Iraqi veteran on a victory tour) at Lincoln Square on October 14. Kristen's other film Certain Women also premiered at the festival, and she hosted an "An Evening With" event.




Natalie Portman, 35, has bragged about how little having an Oscar means to her, but she still found time to promote her latest Oscar-bait movie Jackie (about Jacqueline Kennedy in the days after her husband's assassination) at a screening at Lincoln Center on October 13.
