Kirsten Dunst OF CIVIL WAR ON HBO
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Ilse Salas, Director Rodrigo Prieto and Tenoch Huerta from “Pedro Paramo”
Q: I recently watched the movie “Civil War” on HBO, and I was impressed with Kirsten Dunst. I know she was a child actress. When did she begin acting? A: Kirsten Dunst was six years old at the time she appeared in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch and filmed the Woody Allen-directed segment of the 1989 anthology “New York Stories,” her first movie, but she had been working in TV commercials since the age of three. She also was in the 1990 film “The Bonfire of the Vanities” as Tom Hanks’ daughter and was in a 1993 episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” but many people recall the first time they saw her as being in “Interview With the Vampire,” the 1994 movie of the Anne Rice novel that teamed Dunst with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. From there, work opportunities continued to flow for her. She played the younger version of March sister Amy in the 1994 version of the much-filmed Louisa May Alcott story “Little Women,” she had a considerable hit with the 1995 fantasy-adventure “Jumanji,” and she joined the NBC drama “ER” in its third season as a young prostitute protected by George Clooney’s Dr. Doug Ross. “Wag the Dog,” “Small Soldiers” and “Drop Dead Gorgeous” were among the movies that rounded out the 1990s for Dunst.

“Pedro Paramo,” based on the 1955 novel by Juan Rulfo, premieres Wednesday, Nov. 6, on Netflix, starring Tenoch Huerta and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
“The Virgin Suicides” (1999) and “Bring It On” (2000) continued to affirm her versatility, and her portrayal of Mary Jane Watson in the Tobey Maguire-led Spider-Man blockbusters during the 2000s put her fame on an even higher plane. After those, more adult roles became her norm, not only in movies — “Marie Antoinette” (2006), “Melancholia” (2011) “Bachelorette” (2012) etc. — but also on television, encompassing “Fargo,” in which she starred with her then-husband-to-be Jesse Plemons, and “On Becoming a God in Central Falorida.”
