Every single time I see her in a film she owns the screen. She is a star. She always surprises me when I see her take over the scene but no more. I absolutely respect this actress and think she is way ahead of her time. Definitely a future A-list leading lady. I think she already is. Plus she has good height for some reason. She looks healthy on screen and powerful next to other female actress. She has "it".

she looked beautiful in true grit I watched it on dvd the other day.

She already has an Oscar nomination and is lining up some good movie choices so yes.

I just finished watching 3 Days to Kill and I thought she looked familiar; at first, I thought she might be the same young woman who played a vampire killer on Supernatural* - Madison McLaughlin - so I came in here to see what else she had been in and was surprised that the real reason she looked familiar was I had watched Ender's Game just a few weeks ago.
*(Both Steinfeld and McLaughlin have a mole/beauty mark under one of their eyes, but after looking at photos, they're on opp. sides of their faces and in diff. places and Steinfeld's is much less noticeable. They do look a lot alike, I think: brown hair and eyes, both lovely young women.)
I hope she'll have a great career, but only time will tell. There's been hundreds of lovely actresses that start out well, then for reasons unknown (other than no exceptional talent) don't become stars.

She wa111cs also like 13 or 14 at the time and had school commitments. If she were 20, I'd agree. But she still had high school and all to take care of. And she did have a staring role in Ender's Game.

Her career hasn't exactly blossomed since then though. Hopefully she gets picked for some rolls as good as the one in True Grit soon so we see her return to her, quite brilliant, best.

I'd say the Oscar nomination pretty well put her on the A-list

Lets hope so.
Lose the Game!!!!!!!

I agree she has talent

It's not illegal to state how hot someone is.(Maybe in Hailee's case, we'll state that she is a beautiful or lovely girl that will grow into a hot woman). Of course, it's illegal to have sexual relations with someone underage, depending on the country,but not illegal to comment on someone's looks.
Unless it's a police state.

I agree. Her performance in True Grit was no fluke. She genuinely carried herself and fit in well along side of some serious veteran players Hopefully she has a good team of 'patient' individuals guiding her career path. More importantly, a Mother who knows her place and what her role is I'll amend this comment in 3 years when it's legal to state how hot she is ;.^> haha

becoming A+-lister (Amgelina Jolie) actress she will have to be even older and be top of the top who can do versatile roles Oscar winning roles.
Jolie's an A-lister based on various things, some superficial. I'd say versatile acting isn't one of them but that's just me

it is impossible to know, she is 16, just a young teen-actress.
one movie does not prove A-lister material.
if by the age of 25 high-profile directors consider her for lead roles, then she can be considered A-lister but right now she is far behind it.

She has a bright future. Chloe Moretz, while talented, can't hold a candle next to Hailee
Spoilers!Spoilers!Spoilers!Spoilers!

She's a natural! She's mature, talented, and because she's still young and her career has just begun, she's going to get a lot of experience and opportunities that will only make her a better actress. She's already a great success! Lucky girl but she deserves it. She's smart and I think she makes a good role model for younger fans.
2 cute 2 listen!

I agree that she is talented and could have a bright future.
