Name: Kirsten Dunst

Birth Name: Kirsten Caroline Dunst

Birthdate: April 30, 1982

Birthplace: Point Pleasant, N.J.

Dunst got her acting career started early, appearing in commercials before moving on to small roles in films like The Bonfire of the Vanities. But it was her eerily precocious, controversial performance across from Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in Interview With the Vampire that really got people noticing the then–12-year-old actress. She managed the transition from child star to young-adult actress with relative grace, acting in critically acclaimed movies like Little Women and Wag the Dog through the mid-'90s. She established herself as a solid dramatic actress in Sofia Coppola's directorial debut, The Virgin Suicides, and then clinched her position as a comedic commercial star with Bring It On. She's spent the following years dividing her time between blockbusters like Spider-Man and independent films, most notably Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


1. She modeled as a child.
2. Dunst founded Wooden Spoon Productions with her mother.
3. She was an active cheerleader in high school.
4. Who loves In-N-Out Burger? Kirsten Dunst.
5. She's afraid of heights.


On her future plans: ''To be a director, producer, writer. And just make wonderful movies.''
