1-MINUTE RESUME FOR KIRSTEN DUNST
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.
5 Things:
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.
Quote:
On her future plans: ''To be a director, producer, writer. And just make wonderful movies.''
