Biography:One of the leading actors of her generation, "Kirsten Dunst" made her name in teen films without succumbing to entrapment in the teen film ghetto. Skinny, blonde, and possessing a charmingly crooked Pepsodent smile, she has repeatedly demonstrated her talent and charisma in projects ranging from kiddie comedies to high school romances to towering summer blockbusters.

Born in Point Pleasant, NJ, on April 30, 1982, Dunst first appeared in front of a camera at the age of three, when she became a Ford model and commercial actor. She continued to model and do commercials until 1989, when she made her film debut in "Woody Allen"'s "New York Stories". Her uncredited role led to a part as "Tom Hanks"' daughter in the infamously troubled 1990 adaptation of "Tom Wolfe"'s The Bonfire of the Vanities.

Three years later, Dunst got her first big break when director "Neil Jordan" chose her over 5,000 hopefuls... Full Biography
