Kirsten
Caroline Dunst (born April 30, 1982) is an American actress, known
for her roles in Interview with the Vampire (for which she
received a Golden Globe nomination), The Virgin Suicides, Marie
Antoinette, and Bring It On, as well as for her portrayal of Mary
Jane Watson in the Spider-Man film series. In 1995 (and again in
2002), she was named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful
People. She may be best known for her portrayal of Mary Jane
Watson in the Spider-Man film series based on Stan Lee's comic
serial, opposite Tobey
Maguire. She portrayed the neighbor and romantic interest of
the mild-mannered superhero in the original Spider-Man in 2002.
Dunst was generally well-received in the role, and had a
now-famous and often-parodied scene in which she kisses the hero
while he hangs upside-down from his web. The success of the first
film led her to reprise the role in two sequels, Spider-Man 2 in
2004 and Spider-Man
3 in 2007. Dunst appears in the film, How to Lose Friends and
Alienate People (2008), with Simon Pegg. Dunst is also expected to
portray peace activist Marla Ruzicka in Sweet Relief scripted by
Lorene Scafaria for Warner Independent Pictures in 2009 ... more
