"For the last seven years I had a front row seat to all of her films, but also to watch her excitement when she is preparing for a project that she truly believes in," Dakota, who flew to L.A. to share the night with her friend, said before becoming choked up. "This year alone, we have seen her transform seamlessly from character to character, I think four times, and all I can say is I am grateful for that front row seat."
