Lehigh Valley Connections
Leading the Oscar race is Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," which has 12 nominations. The Civil War epic features a cameo appearance by a Lehigh Valley native who's a rising young actor.
Dane DeHaan was born in Allentown and raised in Zionsville near Emmaus, according to a Morning Call report, which says DeHaan's "Lincoln" cameo comes early in the film as a Union soldier. DeHaan graduated from Emmaus High School, according to Wikipedia.
Next Movie lists DeHaan as one of "13 Awesome Dudes You Didn't Know Were in Lincoln."
Also, Allentown native Amanda Seyfried was among the stars in the holiday blockbuster "Les Miserables," another Best Picture nominee. She played Cosette, co-starring with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway.
