She doesn't get enough credit for helping define the early 2000s with some of the movies she was in
-
Her career is so wild. I can't believe how many iconic roles she's had.
-
"Your brother can't find his toy and you know where it is but you won't tell him" is absolutely brilliant actor coaching
-
the fact she never got plastic surgery or her teeth done makes me like her more
-
It's SO refreshing to see a child star who grew up to be a normal, functional adult, still acting, so naturally talented, NOT a nepo baby, totally unproblematic, just a normal person with a good head on her shoulders who happens to be a famous actress. And to top it off she's talented and she makes great film choices. She's a rare gem in a town like Hollywood. If more actors were like her, people wouldn't hate celebrities so much.
-
Who’ else remembers her in jumanji
-
Kirsten Dunst is criminally underrated. She can do literally any genre and any role. Give her her flowers, and she needs an oscar.
-
The way she comes across in this interview is so relaxed and natural. I feel like we're two parents at our kids' baseball game and we're sitting in the stands talking about work and she just happens to have an exponentially more interesting job than me.
-
The biggest difference between her and other child stars I noticed, is a pattern of her being VERY protected by cast, crew, and her mother. It takes a village they do say and she was lucky to be surrounded by great people not just professionally but personally as well.
-
It's really nice to hear that Kirsten wasn't exposed to inappropriate ideas unnecessarily while filming Interview. What a fantastic careers. We are lucky to have had her talent.
-
Bless her heart. Life gave her Plemons, and she made Plemonade.
-
I love her smile. It’s so refreshing to see an actress with normal teeth, instead of veneers.
-
Like Jodi Foster, she's the rare child actor whose life didn't fall apart.
-
The upside down kiss is memorable and iconic
-
Props to Kirsten’s family and team for protecting her at such a young age!
-
I would die to see Tobey and Kirsten acting together again 😭
-
She is literally so charming and has such an iconic catalogue .
-
I'm glad to hear she was protected when she was little
-
I can't believe she didn't talk about Toy soldiers , does she not realize how iconic she was for 8 year old me 😭 I love her forever
-
I could listen to her talk about acting for hours. She is so sensitive, considered and insightful, and clearly takes such pride in her work. Like many people here, I feel like I've grown up watching her on film and I will basically watch anything she ever does. A true actor and a brilliant professional. Thank you for all of your incredible storytelling Kirsten!
