About Kirsten Dunst

Before kissing an upside-down Spider-Man and reconnecting with her New Jersey origins in Elizabethtown, you’ve seen her dishing out some serious harsh language in Bring it On. Since her major motion film debut at the juvenile age of 10, Kirsten Dunst has managed to Bring it On full speed, despite being no stranger to the partying advantages of the celebrity lifestyle and the hot beaus that go along with it.

American actress Kirsten Dunst has an estimated net worth of $28 million dollars, as of 2023.

And Action

At three years old, Kirsten was already a winner. The young girl, who was born in New Jersey, was signed to Ford Models shortly after she learned to speak, and she quickly started landing commercial roles left and right. Her big screen debut was made possible by the bushy-tailed director Woody Allen. Before moving to Los Angeles to try to make a go of her fledgling acting career, Kirsten landed a small part in Allen’s New York Stories in 1989.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Kirsten began her audition journey before securing a role in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. She appeared on screen with notable Hollywood figures like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, with whom she even shared her first kiss both on and off camera. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and won an MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance for her portrayal of a vampire trapped in a young girl’s body.

A Career and a Board Game Come to Life

When Dunst received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor for her work in Interview with a Vampire, she was already a well-known child star. However, she gained widespread recognition when she was cast as Mary Jane Watson in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man series. She returned to this role in Spider-Man 2 and 3 twice more.

Kirsten, whose name was gradually becoming more well-known, went on to star in popular films like Jumanji and Little Women (1995). However, it was her role in Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides that propelled her from being a kid actress to the forefront as an adult film siren.

Before playing a disobedient teen and filming her first sex scene in crazy/beautiful the following year, in 2000, Kirsten won the main role in the teen comedy Bring it On as a ruthless cheerleader.

But after backflips and bedtime antics, Kirsten’s career truly took off when she was cast as Tobey Maguire’s rival in the Spider-Man comic book series. Who could ever forget Spider-Man and Kirsten’s Mary Jane Watson sharing an upside-down kiss?

Dunst had a salary of $7 million for the first Spider-Man film, and an additional $10 million for the sequel, Spider-Man 2. The combined box office for the two films was $1.5 billion.

She has also appeared in Melancholia, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, and Hidden Figures in addition to these roles.

One of the newest Showtime shows, On Becoming a God in Central Florida, with Kirsten Dunst as the lead, premiered on August 25, 2019.

Flipping And Flopping

However, with every success there are failures, and Kirsten’s was her part in the star-studded Mona Lisa Smile (2003). In the interim between shooting two additional installments of the Spider-Man series, Kirsten starred in a number of poorly received films, including Wimbledon (2004), Elizabethtown (2005), and Marie Antoinette (2006).

Dunst received $5 million for her work in Wimbledon as Lizzie Bradbury. She also received $8 million for playing Marie Antoinette in the film, and an additional $8 million for starring in the television series Elizabeth Town.

She has also appeared in Melancholia, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, and Hidden Figures in addition to these roles.

One of the newest Showtime shows, On Becoming a God in Central Florida, with Kirsten Dunst as the lead, premiered on August 25, 2019.

Personal and Up Close

Around that time, her personal life also started to suffer. In 2006, a two-year relationship she had with actor Jake Gyllenhaal ended amid claims that her hard partying habits clashed with his homebody outlook. When her behavior became more irregular, her reputation continued to decline as bloggers enjoyed making fun of her. All of this culminated in an early 2008 rehab stay for sadness and weariness rather than for drug and alcohol recovery.

Despite receiving numerous Perez Hilton criticisms, Kirsten is one child actor who has maintained a successful career from the age of three till she is an adult. After a brief hiatus, she is back on track with a number of future movies. She previously dated Rilo Kiley drummer Jason Boesel before dating Jesse Plemons, with whom she became engaged in 2017.

“When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you’re performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who’s depending on other people’s approval.”
