She may be the toast of Hollywood, winning Oscar and Bafta nominations for her portrayal of a pregnant teenager, but Ellen Page also won over her co-stars in Juno.

“She’s just a beautiful and incredible actress,” said Jennifer Garner.

“The minute we started rehearsal, I thought, who are you, and where did you come from, and how did Jason find you? She’s gonna blow people out of the water. She’s going to be a very important actress.”

Allison Janney, who plays Juno‘s stepmum, had the highest compliment for Ellen.

“She reminds me of a young Audrey Hepburn,” she gushes. “There is something beautifully feminine about her and yet she’s playing this incredibly tough, cool character. She’s fearless. I’ve just been so impressed with her and I adore her. She’s amazing.”

And director Jason Reitman compares the 20-year-old to Meryl Streep, saying: “A lot of actors are good mimics, or they are method actors and do a lot of research, or they are naturally very charming.

“What’s different about Ellen, is that she knows what Juno would do, say or feel at any given moment, and she can turn it on and off like a light switch. It’s incredible to watch.”
