Fametracker :: 2 Stars 1 Slot :: Battle of the Perky Co-Eds :: Kirsten Dunst vs. Reese Witherspoon: both perky co-eds have balanced their perky co-ed roles with more daring material. ..there's Dunst's subtle and stunning performance in The Virgin Suicides as Lux Lisbon. Rebelling against her repressive parents by offering her body and heart to any of the neighbourhood boys who'd take it, Lux is clever, sexy, and bereft, often in the same scene. As the only Lisbon sister worth remembering, Dunst pretty much carries the movie, and does it confidently and well.

Fametracker :: Blue Moons :: Hollywood Gene Project :: Clone Fever: ... the Geneticists had a few anxious moments during Dunst's performance in crazy/beautiful -- wondering whether the trashiness of Dunst's character was a harbinger of latent porn leanings just waiting to assert themselves -- so far, Dunst seems firmly installed at the virginal end of the MPAA ratings scale.

Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Renée Zellweger: ...in light of Zellweger's stunningly vertical career trajectory despite her humble beginnings, the question is which of the moderately cute stars of today's teen comedies is eight years away from her second Best Actress Oscar nomination? Kirsten Dunst? Reese Witherspoon? Katie Holmes? Any of them, we would submit, has as much claim to success as an actor as Zellweger does. They each have a pleasantly likable screen presence (which sounds like damnation with faint praise, but is actually a rarer blessing than you'd think; it's the difference between a Kirsten Dunst and a Neve Campbell). They're each attractive in a kind of perky but not especially stunning way (the difference between a Katie Holmes and an Angelina Jolie). They each have a reputation for extreme diligence in their work -- more diligence than raw talent, you might say (the difference between a Reese Witherspoon and a Kate Winslet). ok, Winslet is the one to play me in P&P The Movie and Reese W does seem hard-working but isn't she also a good actress - underestimated ?

Fametracker :: 2 Stars 1 Slot :: Battle of the Willowy Former Child Stars Who Did That Thing Once :: Anna Paquin vs. Claire Danes:
But you know who's laughing now? Kirsten Dunst. Little Kirsten Dunst, from Interview with the Vampire, who seemed destined for pseudo-fringe stardom and yet now is a big star in Spider-Man and never gets confused with nobody, no how.

Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Maria Bello: We think Bello should be a big star. We know Hollywood isn't notoriously kind to woman in their mid-to-late thirties, but come on -- Kirsten Dunst can't play every part. (Seriously, Hollywood -- she can't. Save some for the fishes.)
..Obviously, what Hollywood needs -- though it may not have known it until right this very minute -- is someone who comes off as the product of a gene splice between Sharon Stone and Frances McDormand. In other words, Maria Bello. ..She's like Sharon Stone gone horribly right. Deserved approximate level of fame: Angelina Jolie. word to Maria Bello (Hist Of Violence), Frances McDormand (she was my favorite even as a bit part in Sth's Gotta Give), and hey also Kyra Sedgewick (The Woodsman).
Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Frances McDormand: She had been quietly building a résumé of varied, intriguing roles. Like Meryl Streep or Sissy Spacek, McDormand wasn't constantly in our faces, but simply showed up for work, kicked some ass, and called it a day, returning afterward to a private life about which we know very little...the combination of an Oscar and a great instinct for choosing her projects has made McDormand a Hollywood A-lister who never wastes our time: she seems only to do work she believes in, and her belief in her work makes us believe in it, too. (Plus, remember that acceptance speech, in which she thanked Ethan Coen for making her an actress, and Joel Coen for making her a woman? That's what you call cool, friend. Take that, Susan Sarandon.)
