Biography

Kirsten was born Kirsten Caroline Dunst on the 30th of April, 1982, at Point Pleasant, New Jersey. And the name's pronounced Keersten, not Kursten. Her father, Klaus, was a medical services executive. Her mother, Inez, was an artist and former gallery owner. Klaus didn't think much would come of it, but Inez began to put young Kirsten forward as a model, such that she was working by the age of 3. By 4, she was signed up to Elite and the Ford Agency. She made her TV debut in an ad for dollies that really wet themselves - she would appear in over 70 ads in all - and her debut proper, aged 6, on Saturday Night Live, playing the grandchild of Dana Carvey's President Bush. All the while, she attended Ranney School at Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Kirsten graduated from Notre Dame High School in Los Angeles.
