Johnson has been active in the industry since 1999, when she made her film debut in Crazy in Alabama, alongside her famous mother. Dakota's big debut turned out to be a box office dud and critically panned, and the potential star had years of unfruitful stints with small roles in The Social Network, Beastly, 21 Jump Street, and The Office. But all that changed in 2015 when Johnson risked it all to play Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey, which was poorly received by critics but widely watched as the movie grossed a whopping $569.7 million against a budget of $40 million.
