Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst, the daughter of Inez and Klaus Dunst, who are divorced. She has a younger brother, Christian. Her father, a German medical services executive from Hamburg, initially remained in New Jersey but now lives in Los Angeles, California. Her mother, a Swedish former art gallery owner, also moved to California. Dunst attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California and then attended the Ranney School in New Jersey, before leaving to pursue acting. She is a Lutheran.

In an article for Premiere magazine, Sam Raimi confirmed the long-standing rumor that Dunst and her Spider-Man co-star Tobey Maguire had "a thing" going on during the 2001 shooting of the first film. As Raimi explained for the article, "I'm so dumb, because I met with them for dinner one night during the shooting to talk about the next day's scenes. And I go, 'Okay, well, that's it for the meeting.' And then I ask Kirsten, 'Can I drive you home?' And they look at each other and she goes, 'No, no, I'm going to play a game of Touch 10 with Tobey.' I don't know, it was some game. I thought, 'That's weird. She's got to work tomorrow.'"

After briefly dating her longtime friend, playwright Jeff Smeenge, she started dating actor Jake Gyllenhaal in September 2002, after meeting him through his sister, Maggie her Mona Lisa Smile co-star. However, they broke up in July 2004. In March 2007, she dated frontman Johnny Borrell of Razorlight. However, they broke up in the fall of 2007.

Dunst was featured on Richard Blackwell's famous Best Dressed List for 2005.

Dunst confirmed that she was treated for depression early in 2008. She sought treatment at the Cirque Lodge treatment center in Utah. She explained that she had been feeling "low" in the six months prior to her going to rehab. In late March, she checked out from the treatment center and began filming All Good Things. In May, she went public with this information to "highlight the struggle faced by so many other successful women" and to dispel false rumors that had "been very painful for my friends and family".
