Kirsten Dunst: I struggle to get roles in Hollywood

There are many counter examples to this. Heck, Amy Adams didn't become a star until she was 30-35....

I think what she was talking about here were the big movies. Since in the 90's/2000's she was the 'it girl' of the moment. She played Mary Jane Watson in some of the best spm movies out there. It's true when you get older the juicy roles dry up. Most of the big roles, easily went to younger women. Like remember all the rom-coms of the 90's/00's? These girls were in them all. Dunst, julia stiles, Alicia Silverstone, linsday lohan, amada bynes, hilary duff, mandy moore, cameron diaz, etc...

Admittedly there are women 30+ working in hollywood. But they get like bit parts. They play the mom, teacher, are in some oscar nominated fare that only 10 people watch, or have to settle for the small screen. Sure these people are highly paid, but she is talking about working. And having only 1 movie in a while is not working that much. When before she was everywhere.

And most of the people over 30 that get work still look young. Like Tomei that is now called 'hot aunt may' in the new spm movies, also it was a pretty small part as well.

Things are changing a bit with shows like younger, pointing out that people can look younger. But mostly the way things work in hw is that they want the next young thing like liz olsen, daisy ridley, etc. They would rather in a big movie invest in a 'young hot thing' than an slightly older seasoned actor. It's pretty sad I miss a lot of the 90's it girls. Granted some chose to do drugs or have a family. But most don't get any decent roles unless they have a huge following or look younger.

I would love to see Kirsten Dunst in a lot more movies. I don't think the problem is with her age at all. I think the problem is there are too few movies being made which feature women at all. One of the many reasons I love "classic" movies is that there were so many more "women's" movies being made. Throughout the 30s,40s, 50s, the studio system knew it could make money from small budget women's features. There was a lot of junk in there, but many fine movies too. I think television movies may have eaten up that market today. I know I would love to see more movies with women's stories. I go to the movies a lot and I'm sure I can't be the only person who is sick of these super hero reboots. Don't get me wrong, I love comic books. I was one of the few girls in the comic book store every weekend, but I want to watch other types of movies too! I mean, we need adult movies too, right? There is a totally untapped market in my opinion. Kirsten Dunst is perfect for a some mature melodrama. In fact, I'd love to see her in something like that. She's a wonderful actress. Look at The Beguiled. Her work with Sofia Coppola is outstanding.

I think the issue is that there are a lot more male actors in their 30s/40s getting great roles than their are women.. people want hot young women and older, more rugged men. Men are still thought of as heartthrobs into their 50s but women, not so much:

Leonardo DiCaprio (42)
Christian Bale (43)
Jude Law (44)
Matt Damon (46)
Jake Gyllenhaal (36)
Mark Wahlberg (46)
James Franco (39)
Ryan's Gosling (36)
Daniel Craig (49)
Ben Affleck (45)
Ewan McGregor (46)

There doesn't seem to be any shortage of roles for them!

If she's struggling to get roles in Hollywood she can always get a role in my indie films. We could film our own erotic adventure art film.

Dunst’s highest profile role as an adult was her three turns in the first Spiderman franchise - Dunst hasn’t been a lead in any features which have approached those films in terms of success and that lowered her profile.

Dunst was treated for depression in 2008 - While that was good for her psyche, it was bad for her career. She’s been unable to return to her Spiderman-era levels of fame.

Dunst isn’t “conventionally attractive” - It’s difficult to cast Dunst because she’s not a beauty queen, and she really isn’t a good enough actor to be cast solely for her abilities.

Dunst didn’t have a franchise - She was in the first of the “Bring It On” series of films but apparently decided to eschew the remainder of the films. Since a franchise would have raised her profile, that may not have been the best decision for her to have made.

Dunst has made other questionable career decisions - Dunst became a German citizen because (according to her) it allowed her to work in more European roles. However given those films’ lower pay and lower profiles in the entertainment industry that doesn’t seem to have been the wisest of ideas. Additionally Dunst has moved over to television with roles in FX’s Fargo series, as well as a Showtime network program. Although those are “work”, they are clearly steps down from her higher profile roles in the 2000s.

She's an obvious liberal who thinks any failure she experiences is because the system is broken and stacked against her. Couldn't be because she sucks. It's not discrimination, she just sucks. Interview with the Vampire should've been her only role.

Weird. She has money and power already. Why not hire someone to writer a script for her and get it produced?
