Kirsten Dunst Stars In A Female-centric Take On A Civil War–era Drama — And She’s Got Big Off-screen Plans As Well
Kirsten Dunst has played a fierce child vampire and a guillotined French queen, but her latest role may be one of her biggest stretches yet. “She’s the complete opposite of who I am,” the actress, 35, says of the “repressed, sad” Southern girls’ school teacher she plays in this month’s The Beguiled, whose attraction to an injured Union soldier (Colin Farrell) has weighty consequences. After almost 30 years in front of the camera — she was acting in TV commercials at age 3 — Kirsten is planning to direct her first feature, an adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, and start a family with her fiancé and costar on TV’s Fargo, Jesse Plemons, 29. She talks about working with old friends and tackling new challenges.
