Almost a year prior to her vampiric character Claudia joining the undead family of Lestat de Lioncourt (Cruise) and Louis de Pointe du Lac (Pitt) in the feature film adaptation of author Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire” novel, Kirsten Dunst warped her way into the 24th century. True, Hedril was a tiny role on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” but Dunst’s warmth and authenticity added even more gravitas to the already heart-wrenching storyline in which Lwaxana (Barrett-Roddenberry) finally had to confront the loss of her oldest daughter, Kestra (Weiner).
Some fans might be surprised by the acting skills Dunst possessed at such a young age, but “TNG” wasn’t the actor’s first rodeo. In fact, she’d been working professionally since she was a toddler. “I was three years old in the grocery store,” Dunst said during an interview with Vanity Fair. “And people would come up to my mom and be like, ‘Your kid’s cute. You should put her in like child acting or modeling.’ And we were in New Jersey. And so, I signed with the Ford Modeling Agency as a little girl.”
“I went out for a Kix cereal commercial, and I booked it,” Dunst continued. “And then ‘Interview with the Vampire’ came around. And that, you know, was my big break.” Dunst most recently portrayed Rose Gordon in the film “The Power of the Dog” alongside husband Jesse Plemons and the MCU’s own Doctor Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch.
