A Brief Biography of Kirsten Dunst

In the spring of 1982, a charming girl was born in the family of a physician and the head of an art gallery. The baby was called Kirsten. Active and active, from birth she was distinguished from other children by her amazing artistry and liveliness of character. Parents immediately noticed the giftedness of the child and began to take her to various circles. Soon, the mother and father divorced, and the future actress moved to Los Angeles.

It is difficult to determine what exactly her path to fame began with. Even Dunst herself repeatedly said that artistry had already lived in it from the cradle. She was always interested in cinema, so the choice of a profession was a foregone conclusion. The start was the commercials on the shooting of which her mother brought her. The girl looked good in the frame, which allowed her to pass the selection without any problems. Thus, at the age of 3, Kirsten made his first film debut.

Despite a very tight schedule and contracts with major companies, the baby continued to attend school without losing her time, so she received good recommendations and a certificate with excellent marks.

However, the mother of the young star did not waste time in vain, having begun searching for a new job for her daughter. Sometimes Kirsten had to attend several castings at once in one day. The girl loved the camera, and she reciprocated. Her career slowly but surely went uphill.

All films featuring Kirsten Dunst are vivid and memorable. The very first role turned out to be tiny, representing only a few minutes in the almanac of New York Stories (1989).Of course, it was too early to talk about success. But it was a good start. And the next work was not long in coming. She was the scoring of the cartoon "The Witch's Delivery Service" (1989).

The Dunst family rejoiced at her successes, albeit so far small. After all, the free schedule did not create unnecessary loads, allowing the girl to lead the life of an ordinary child. However, this period was only a lull before a real storm. Success came after the movie “Interview with the Vampire” (1994), where Kirsten very organically fit into the image of a vampire girl, surprisingly subtly conveying the feelings of the heroine, who had so early known life beyond the bounds of good and evil. Dunst flawlessly completed her work, receiving many awards and positive reviews from critics.

The career of the young actress quickly went up. Filming followed in such films as “Little Women” (1994), “Jumanji” (1995), “Virgin Suicides” (1999), “Spider-Man” (2002). Everywhere Kirsten plucked a standing ovation.

At one time, she was offered a role in the film "American Beauty" (1999). But I had to refuse work because of the presence of too frank scenes. As the actress herself later said, she did not regret for a moment about the missed opportunity, since she was not mature enough to play such a plan.

Success in his career went hand in hand with failures in his personal life. Constantly busy with work, Kirsten could not find time for her personal life. Then the actress decided that she would not break away from her career and try to find happiness in the same field. Immediately followed by a series of official romances with partners in the filming process. The press endlessly exaggerated the theme of the constant change of the actress's chosen ones. In the end, this led her to a prolonged depression, to cope with which alone was no longer possible.

After treatment at the clinic, the star decided to pull herself together. Kirsten is now in a relationship with Jesse Plemons. The couple has a child. Actors try to spend all their free time together.

Pictures with the main roles of the actress

The amazing talent of Kirsten Dunst does not go unnoticed. Directors often invite her to the forefront roles in their films.

The worldwide popularity came to the actress thanks to the blockbuster. Spider-Man (2002).

The role of girlfriend of Peter Parker was a fateful event in her life. In addition to popular love, Kirsten received the approval of film critics. After such a stunning success, she decides to change her role, trying to star in an author's arthouse movie.

The tape deserves special attention "Melancholy" (2011) - a drama directed by Lars Von Trier, made entirely in the spirit of "another movie."

The picture embodies the idea of ​​dystopia, which completely rejects the foundations of modern society. Images matched flawlessly. And the melancholy blonde looks in the frame in its place.Indeed, it is precisely this quality that the director puts in the foreground as something exempting from the chains of being. The movie was shot aesthetically and spectacularly, starting with the strange planet Melancholy and ending with extraordinary colorful phenomena that accompany all the actions of the film. The events of the picture unfold slowly and measuredly. Kirsten very soulfully played the role of an unhappy bride who does not experience joyful emotions even during a wedding. She always waits for the end, seeing in her her salvation. And when the real end of the world occurs, the girl takes it for granted and inevitable, accepting and dissolving in it.

One of the main roles Dunst plays in comedy. “Bachelors” (2012).

Despite the abundance of vulgar jokes and “on the edge” humor, the film turned out to be very cheerful. I would like to watch such a movie on Friday evening in the company of my best friends and a bottle of wine.

Fantasy “Parallel Worlds” (2011), in which the actress plays the role of a girl from a wealthy family, is fascinating from the first minutes of viewing.

And although the idea does not shine with originality, the picture deserves its audience looking for a colorful fairy tale, high-quality shootings and beautiful love between the main characters.

The brilliant game of the Hollywood diva marked by experts in the tape Marie Antoinette (2005)where the life of the French queen was shown.

Incredibly beautifully described love. It is she who stands in the foreground of the whole action. And no one could clearly convey the character of the infantile monarch person, as Kirsten did. She managed to show that behind the stupid wastes of the royal treasury and behavior not worthy of the ruler of the state, there is an elementary desire to take everything from life. Having fallen into the world of strict duties and restrictions, Marie Antoinette is simply trying to brighten up her position by all available means - eating cakes, having fun, spending money on dresses.

Secondary Movies

The filmography of the actress is not only the main, but also no less successful second roles.

As a child, Kirsten was awarded a role in the film adaptation of Louise May Alcott’s novel Little Women (1994)playing one of the main characters in childhood.

The film stands out against the general background. Jumanji (1995). In this family comedy, Dunst starred as a teenager. The tape immediately took the top of the charts.

The following reincarnations were already far from her children's roles. The famous blonde was engaged in the creation of serious and meaningful images:

  • Black Mirror (2017). Science fiction, detective.
  • “Two Faces of January” (2014). Thriller.
  • Hidden Figures (2016). Drama.
  • "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004). Melodrama.
  • “On the Road” (2012). Drama.

Great luck was the work in the picture "Cheating" (1997) with film masters such as Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman. And although the role was not very large, thanks to the brilliant play of the actress, her heroine attracted the attention of the audience.

Best TV Series with an American Actress

In addition to films, the girl starred in several TV shows. Despite the fact that Kirsten does not like films consisting of several series, the directors managed to convince her to take part in several projects.

An unusual series attracted much attention. Fargo (2014), the prototype for which was the famous tape of the Coen brothers.

The multi-part drama brought together many famous actors, including Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. The Hollywood diva plays in him a simple provincial woman, seeking to break out into a big city.

Even more non-standard work has become “Space: space and time” (2014)This documentary picture tells about various discoveries in the field of space science. Kirsten plays the astronomer Cecilia Helen Payne-Gaposhkin.

In the field of entertainment, a noteworthy television show “Saturday Night Live” (1975)representing a comedy musical series.A comical look also goes to a clockwork blonde.

The star approaches his roles with all seriousness, regardless of the genre of the picture. In the frame, she looks very harmonious thanks to sophisticated facial features and expressive eyes that convey the whole gamut of feelings of each of her heroines. Any image embodied by Kirsten is light and mysterious in its own way. It is noteworthy that the name Dunst is translated from German as "light fog".

Kirsten Dunst proved by her own example that even at a young age you can achieve unprecedented heights if you conscientiously work and believe in yourself. From an early age, she worked a lot, systematically moving towards her goal in order to achieve success in the world of big cinema, which she eventually succeeded.
