Child stars of Willem Dafoe movie break hearts at CannesThe cliché "not a dry eye in the house" summed up the ending of "The Florida Project", as the movie's two young stars - no older than six when they shot it - got a standing ovation at the premier and wiped away each others' tears. Featuring Willem Dafoe as the motel's manager, in what The Guardian called "one of the best film performances of his entire career", the movie shows the joy of childhood surviving intense economic hardship and a family's uncertain future. After the movie's heartbreaking ending, Prince, now 7, and her co-star Valeria Cotto, 6, shared a handkerchief and soaked up the applause. "I think it was awesome," Prince said of the premiere where she saw the movie for the first time. It's hard to recall another movie about poverty with so much visual pop."
