Birthplace: Point Pleasant, NJ

Race or Ethnicity: White

Occupation: Actor

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Mary-Jane in Spider-Man

Kirsten Dunst is an American movie star, famous as Spider-Man's girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, and as the "bad girl of tennis" Lizzie Bradbury in Wimbledon.

On 12 November 1988, in Saturday Night Live's pre-credits opening skit, there was a little girl sitting in Dana Carvey's lap as Carvey played George H.W. Bush, and at the end of the skit the kid shouted, "Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!" The kid, of course, was 6-year-old Kirsten Dunst.

Dunst started working in commercials at age three, and had appeared in almost a hundred commercials before sitting in Carvey's lap. At 7, she played Mia Farrow's daughter in Woody Allen's New York Stories, and at 11, she kissed Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire. At 14, she played Randy Weaver's daughter in The Siege at Ruby Ridge, then turned down American Beauty. She played the hapless Albanian girl in Wag the Dog, and became a low-level star with three low-level hits in 1999: The Virgin Suicides, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and the delightful Dick.
