Actress Kirsten Dunst was born on April 30, 1982, in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, and made her acting debut before she was able to walk. She was signed to the Ford Modeling Agency as a child and by age 12, she had made over 100 commercials.
In 1989, Dunst made her film debut with a minor part in Woody Allen’s New York Stories. This was followed by a role as Tom Hanks’s daughter in the 1990 film adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s best-selling novel The Bonfire of the Vanities. Dunst got her big break at the tender age of 11, when she played the pre-pubescent bloodsucker Claudia in the screen adaptation of Anne Rice’sInterview with the Vampire (1994). Dunst went on to appear in a string of major Hollywood productions, includingLittle Women (1994), Jumanji (1995) and Wag the Dog (1997), and also received critical attention for her performances in the less-publicized mock-documentary Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) and the political spoof Dick (1999). In 2002, Dunst brought the much-loved comic book character Mary Jane “M. J.” Watson to the big screen in director Sam Raimi’s blockbuster version of Spider-Man. Dunst has since starred in the British comedy How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008), and earned strong reviews for her turn in Lars Van Trier’sMelancholia (2011).
