Dakota faced tough time due to parents

Dakota, who has been cast as Anastasia Steele in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie adaptation, was home schooled during her childhood, but she got her first taste of a more normal education in her teens when she was sent to a Catholic boarding school in northern California, reports contactmusic.com. Dakota was initially a big fan of the idea, but her classroom dreams quickly soured.

‘I was just miserable there. It was a great school, but girls in that concentration are so horrific, just horrific,’ she told Elle magazine.

She begged her father, Miami Vice star Johnson, to let her leave, and she ended up going to New Roads School in Santa Monica.
