Already in her childhood, Kirsten Dunst was considered the hope of world cinematography. All thanks to “New York Stories” by Woody Allen, in which she made her debut at the age of only 6. Her extraordinary talent was quickly noticed by other directors and cast her in their productions. Thus, she appeared on the screen alongside the biggest Hollywood stars. She played, among others in “Fireworks of Vanity”, “Hell Day” or “Scroon”.
After a few successes, it was time for a much bigger acting challenge. Neil Jordan decided to entrust her with the role of Claudia in “Interview with the Vampire”, which turned out to be a real breakthrough in a promising career.

At the time of filming, he was 31 while she had just turned 11. “When I was a little girl, I treated him like a brother. I had to kiss him, of course it was more of a kiss, but on the mouth and I didn’t like it very much – and she admitted that to this day she still shivers at the thought of this scene. “It was disgusting,” the star said.
