There are many examples of how small actors, having achieved incredible popularity in childhood, were subsequently unable to adequately continue their career in cinema. But not Kirsten Dunst. The filmography of this blonde beauty, who became famous at a very young age, amazes with its diversity and is actively updated every year with new interesting works. She is subject to all genres of cinema: she looks organically in comedies, shines in historical cinema, falls in love with the image of a blockbuster heroine and is impeccable in serious dramatic roles. She has come a long way from a little funny girl to a serious dramatic class “A” actress.
The beginning of the story Kirsten Dunst: filmography, photo, biography
The failed actress Ines Dunst dreamed that her daughter would become a star. Therefore, a little girl from New Jersey began her career at the age of three due to the fact that her mother took her to castings of modeling agencies. After successful filming in an advertisement for dolls, charming Kiki (Dunst had such a childhood nickname) fell into other similar roles, as well as episodic participation in the popular television show. But a modeling career was not enough for mother Kirsten Dunst. The filmography of the young actress started with a small role with Woody Allen himself in one of the short stories of the New York Stories cycle. Later, she flashed on several TV shows, took part in the voice acting of the cartoon “The Witch's Delivery Service” and began to very successfully get on set with famous actors. A vivid example of this is the role of the daughter of the hero Tom Hanks in the film “Bonfire of Vanities” in 1990, where Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith also played . Also, the heroine Kirsten fell under the care of George Clooney himself in the series "Ambulance".
Finest hour
In the film adaptation of Anne Rice's novel entitled “Interview with the Vampire,” it was the young Kirsten Dunst who made a real sensation. The filmography of the actress not only replenished with a new picture with the participation of world stars Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, but also received one of the pearls of the entire collection, because for the role of Claudia, the little blonde received her first nomination for the Golden Globe. Critics were delighted with the masterful transformation of Kirsten. In the same 1994, another of her work was incredibly successful, the role in the drama "Little Women" secured Dunst the title of a very promising young actress. The 1995 family adventure film with Robin Williams "Jumanji" once again confirmed that this blond girl has any image on the shoulder.
Career development
After such success, it is not surprising that Kirsten Dunst began to actively replenish filmography. The main roles literally fell on the blond girl as if from a cornucopia. Along with successful comedies, the actress played in serious dramatic films, revealing her multifaceted talent. She refused the role of Angela in the psychological "American Beauty", giving preference to the debut film of Sofia Kopolla, and did not fail. Released in 1999, The Suicide Virgins received excellent reviews from critics and were well received by the audience. At that time, Dunst also did not ignore TV, starring in TV shows and television films. But in the movie she had a lot of work. One after another came out the tape with the participation of the beautiful blonde Kirsten Dunst. The filmography, the list of tapes in which Dunst starred, is simply replete with comedies, at that time there are more than a dozen tapes, including “Cheating” (1997), “Conspiracy of pranks” (1998), “Murderous beauties” (1999), “Girlfriends of the President” ”(1999),“ Achieve Success ”(2000),“ Virus of Love ”(2001) and many others. The actress’s work in the biographical drama Death in Hollywood is also amazing.
Superhero girlfriend
As you know, truly world fame comes with blockbusters. So it was with Kirsten Dunst. The filmography of the actress in 2002 was enriched by one of the super popular films of the beginning of the new millennium. Her role as friend and lover Peter Parker in the film adaptation of the comics Spider-Man has become one of the most successful in her career. In addition to the popular love of the audience, the blonde’s beautiful game was always praised by critics, although for the role she was repainted in red. After such a breakthrough, the actress decided to experiment a bit, acting in authored, arthouse and independent films, such as “Repentance”, “Smile of Mona Lisa”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. After the second part of Spider-Man, Kirsten again began a career takeoff, proof of which is Wimbledon (2004), Elizabethtown (2005), Marie Antoinette (2005) and the highest grossing third movie from the franchise about Peter Parker.
In "Melancholy"
Often, after a series of high-profile projects, actors have a slightly declining career, and so did Kirsten Dunst. The filmography of the star blonde after “Spider-Man” was not so actively replenished with new works, moreover, she began to depression. In the dramatic comedy "How to lose friends and make everyone hate you," the actress starred only because of Simon Pegg. Thriller "All the best" in general was a failure. After that, Kirsten became interested in short films, and in 2011 she triumphantly returned to a serious movie with the fantastic drama “Melancholy”. Among her works in recent years, it is also worth noting such works as “Parallel Worlds” (2011), “On the Road” (2012), “Two Faces of January” (2013), and the series “Fargo” (2014).
