Who's the hottest actress in Hollywood right now? The answer may surprise you.

(Hint: She's not even old enough to drive.)

But if you're scoring by lines on her resume, 11-year-old Joey King rises to the top.

The bright-eyed actress just landed the coveted role of China Girl in Disney's "Oz: The Great and Powerful," the Sam Raimi-directed prequel to "The Wizard of Oz."

The beautiful China Girl (yes, she's made of porcelain) is taken in by Oz after an evil witch kills her family. King will join an A-list cast that counts Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis, as well as Oscar-nominees James Franco and Michelle Williams, among its members.

King also recently snapped up a role in the much-anticipated Christopher Nolan flick "The Dark Knight Rises," in addition to a part in the upcoming TV series "Bent," Variety reports.

Previously, she appeared in "Battle: Los Angeles," "Quarantine" and voiced the oh-so-quotable role of Katie in "Horton Hears a Who." As of now, though, she's probably still best known for playing Ramona in last year's family comedy "Ramona and Beezus."

She will next be seen in this summer's dramedy "Crazy, Stupid, Love," which hits theaters July 29.

It seems that the only question that remains is whether there's any movies she's not actually in.
