Dakota Fanning Recalls Her Obsession With Regis Philbin

Dakota Fanning Recalls Her Obsession With Regis Philbin

With what can only be compared to the likes of Beatle-mania or Bieber Fever, Dakota Fanning and her little sister Elle were once completely enamored with television legend Regis Philbin.

Fanning, who was 6 at the time, stood in line at Macy's to get Regis' autograph (ha- on the receipt of their Regis Philbin tie that they purchased) during his Who Wants To Be A Millionaire heyday. And when Elle did not get a picture or autograph, she screamed out for Regis like a lover being kicked to the curb.

I don't know about you, but those Fanning kids were brought up right with reverence for the Reej. Check out the gallery of Dakota greeting fans before taping her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel!
