Kirsten Dunst: Career
She began her acting career at the age of three by appearing in television commercials. She also appeared as an extra on one episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live (which she would guest host years later).
She later made the transition to the big screen in her first film appearance, New York Stories, in 1989 and soon after landed a small part playing the daughter of
Tom Hanks's character in The Bonfire of the Vanities, which also starred
Melanie Griffith and
Bruce Willis.
Her breakthrough was in Interview with the Vampire, the film based on the
Anne Rice novel of the same name and directed by Neil Jordan. This movie features a somewhat controversial scene in which Dunst, then aged eleven, had to kiss
Brad Pitt, who was 29 at the time. Her most well-known performance to date has been as Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man
, reprised in Spider-Man 2.
She won the 2002 Best Actress Silver Ombú at the Mar de Plata Film Festival for her performance as
Marion Davies in
Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow.
She made her singing debut in the 2001 film Get Over It, in which she performed two songs written by Marc Shaiman. She also lent her musical voice to the end credits of The Cat's Meow.
More recently, Dunst has committed to playing the role of doomed 18th-century royal, Queen Marie Antoinette. The forthcoming motion picture, scheduled for 2006, is to be directed by
Sofia Coppola and is based on the biography of Marie-Antoinette by British historian Lady Antonia Fraser. Filming of "Marie-Antoinette" is due to commence in February 2005.
She and actor
Jake Gyllenhaal recently broke up after dating for two years.
