But this is her biggest break yet and Dakota won the role despite such sexy actresses as Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson reportedly being fans of the book and considering the high-profile role.
Fifty Shades follows a college student, Steele, who engages in S & M sex with billionaire Christian Grey.
The racy book has been a worldwide smash.
Author James also tweeted that British hunk Charlie Hunnam, 33, known for roles on Queer as Folk and Sons of Anarchy, will play Grey.
