Rising Star: Chloe Grace Moretz

September 30, 2010

BURBANK, Calif.

At age 13, Chloe Grace Moretz already has quite the array of prestigious film credits to her name — “(500) Days Of Summer” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” are amongst the more popular titles — so, we’re a bit reluctant to say that she’s a new face to the Hollywood scene. Most folks will recognize her as the foul-mouthed heroine in last spring’s “Kick-Ass.” Whichever film is being discussed, Chloe steals every scene that she’s in, portraying a maturity that’s way beyond her years. With her latest film, “Let Me In,” opening this weekend with a rare 100 percent Tomato rating on RottenTomatoes.com, this young actress is breaking through to the next level, and that’s what makes her AccessHollywood.com’s latest Rising Star.
