Signed "Kirsten Dunst XOXO "
Few actresses garnered as much attention at an early age, or maintained
as robust a career as Kirsten Dunst. Thrust into the spotlight at the
age of 12 for her lauded performance as an eternally childlike ghoul in
"Interview with the Vampire" (1994), she became one of film's brightest
young stars with work in further projects like "Little Women" (1994),
"Drop Dead Gorgeous" (1999), "The Virgin Suicides" (1999) and "Bring It
On" (2000). She made the often difficult transition from teen star to
leading lady in such films as "The Cat's Meow" (2001), only to hit
box-office pay dirt as one of the stars of the immensely successful
comic book franchise "Spider-Man" (2002) and its two equally profitable
sequels. Independent efforts like director Michel Gondry and writer
Charlie Kaufman's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004) and
Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" (2006) proved she was still willing
and able to contribute to more modest fare, either as part of an
ensemble or as its star. After nearly two years away from a major motion
picture project, Dunst came back stronger than ever with a stunning
performance in director Lars von Trier's apocalyptic drama "Melancholia"
(2011) and a powerful starring role on the second season of the
anthology crime drama "Fargo" (FX 2014- ), along with strong supporting
work in the hit "Hidden Figures" (2016) and Sofia Coppola's "The
Beguiled" (2017). No longer a child star, and having proven herself as
more than a mere flash in the pan, Dunst was well on her way to
establishing herself as one of film's most talented actresses of any
age.
