Kirsten Caroline Dunst
Kirsten Caroline Dunst was born Point Pleasant, New Jersey
on April 30, 1982. She has one younger brother named Christian, born in 1987. Her
father worked as a medical services executive, and her mother was an artist and
one-time gallery owner. Dunst's father is German, originally from Hamburg, and Dunst's mother, who was born in New Jersey, is of
German and Swedish descent. Dunst affirmed her German citizenship in 2011
and now holds passports as a dual citizen of the United States and Germany.
Until the age of eleven, Dunst lived in Brick Township, New Jersey,
where she attended Ranney School. In 1993, her parents
separated, and she subsequently moved with her mother and younger brother to
Los Angeles, California, where she attended Laurel Hall School in North Hollywood. In
1995, her mother filed for divorce. The following year Dunst began
attending Notre Dame High School, a private Catholic high school in Los
Angeles.
After graduating from Notre Dame in 2000, Dunst continued the acting
career that she had begun. As a teenager, she found it difficult to deal
with her rising fame, and for a period she blamed her mother for pushing her
into acting as a child. However, she later expressed that her mother
"always had the best intentions". When asked if she had any
regrets about the way she spent her childhood, Dunst said: "Well, it's not
a natural way to grow up, but it's the way I grew up and I wouldn't change it.
I have my stuff to work out ... I don't think anybody can sit around and
say: 'My life is more screwed up than yours.' Everybody has their issues."
She is a German-American actress,
singer and model. She made her film debut in Oedipus Wrecks, a short
film directed by Woody Allen for the anthology New York Stories (1989). At the age of 12, Dunst gained
widespread recognition playing the role of vampire Claudia in Interview with the Vampire (1994), a performance for
which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. She appeared
in Little Women the same
year and in Jumanji the following year to further acclaim. After
supporting roles in the television series ER (1996) and films such as Wag the Dog (1997), Small Soldiers (1998) and The Virgin Suicides (1999),
Dunst transitioned into romantic comedies and comedy dramas, starring in Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), Bring It On (2000), Get Over It and Crazy/Beautiful (both 2001).
Dunst achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man trilogy (2002–07).
Since then her films have included the romantic comedy Wimbledon(2004), the romantic science fiction Eternal Sunshine
of the Spotless Mind (2004) and Cameron Crowe's tragicomedy Elizabethtown (2005).
She played the title role in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006)
and starred in the comedy How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008). She won
the Best Actress
Award at the Cannes Film Festival and
the Saturn Award for Best Actress for
her performance in Lars von Trier's Melancholia (2011).
In 2001, Dunst made her singing debut in the film Get Over It, in which she
performed two songs. She also sang the jazz song "After You've Gone"
for the end credits of the film The Cat's Meow (2001).
