Kirsten Dunst Biography

Kirsten%20Dunst%20Cheryl%20Shuman Kirsten Dunst Biography

A pretty, precocious blonde, Kirsten Dunst began working in commercials at age three (eventually racking up over 70 such credits) and made her feature debut as Mia Farrow’s daughter in “Oedipus Wrecks”, Woody Allen’s segment of “New York Stories” (1989). Modest roles in other features followed, though several of the films (e.g. “The Bonfire of the Vanities” 1990) saw little exposure at the box office. Dunst also appeared in a recurring role on the NBC drama “Sisters” and guest starred in an episode of the syndicated “Star Trek: The Next Generation”.

Dunst was catapulted into the limelight with her stunning work in Neil Jordan’s “Interview With the Vampire” (1994). Only eleven at the time of filming, she essayed what was debatably the female lead opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Her Claudia, a little girl made into a vampire and unable to age through the years, looked like a child one moment and appeared–and acted–like a grown woman the next. Although the film received mixed notices, Dunst’s remarkably mature performance earned nearly universal raves, earning her a few critics awards and a Golden Globe nomination. Although there was talk of an Oscar nomination, it failed to materialize. Nevertheless, the young actress continued to turn in impressive work. She portrayed the younger version of the spoiled, artistic Amy in “Little Women” (1994), appearing alongside Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon (although Samantha Mathis essayed the adult character).
