I’m betting that, for most people reading this, Kirsten Dunst is an actor who has starred in at least one film that you grew up watching.

Whether it was her child-star debut in Interview with the Vampire, all the high-kicking and cheerleader chanting in 90s Bring It On, or the dreamy-yet-devastating adaptation of The Virgin Suicides, Dunst has led some seriously iconic films and shows over her 20-year acting career.

The list goes on with a mix of indie and blockbuster hits including Drop Dead Gorgeous, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Spider-Man, Mona Lisa Smile, Marie Antoinette and Melancholia. Right now, we’re very excited about her new dark comedy series On Becoming a God in Central Florida.
