#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE
While The Virgin Suicides features an ensemble cast, the film is primarily anchored by Kirsten Dunst, who plays the lead role of Lux Lisbon, the most rebellious and prominent of the sisters. If you are thinking of the male lead who plays her love interest, Josh Hartnett (Trip Fontaine), I have included his major roles as well.
Because Kirsten Dunst began her career as a child and transitioned into one of the most recognizable stars of the 2000s, it is very likely you have seen her in several of the following iconic roles.
Kirsten Dunst (The Lead: Lux Lisbon)
Her Famous Child & Early Roles (1989–1998)
- Interview with the Vampire (1994): Her breakout role as Claudia, the child vampire, starring alongside Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
- Little Women (1994): She played the young Amy March (the role later taken over by Samantha Mathis in the same film).
- Jumanji (1995): She played Judy Shepherd, one of the two children who discover the board game with Robin Williams.
- Small Soldiers (1998): She played Christy Fimple, the girl next door caught in a war between toy soldiers.
- Anastasia (1997): She provided the speaking voice for the young Anastasia in the animated classic.
The "Teen Queen" Era (1999–2001)
- Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999): A cult classic mockumentary where she plays Amber Atkins, a small-town pageant contestant.
- Bring It On (2000): Perhaps her most famous role of this era, playing Torrance Shipman, the captain of the Rancho Carne Toros cheerleading squad.
- Get Over It (2001): A teen comedy based loosely on A Midsummer Night's Dream.
- Crazy/Beautiful (2001): A gritty romance where she plays a troubled wealthy teen who falls for a hardworking boy from East L.A.
Major Blockbusters & Auteur Films (2002–Present)
- Spider-Man Trilogy (2002–2007): She played Mary Jane Watson in all three of Sam Raimi’s films.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): She played Mary, the receptionist at the memory-erasing clinic.
- Marie Antoinette (2006): She reunited with director Sofia Coppola to play the titular Queen of France.
- Melancholia (2011): A critically acclaimed performance as Justine, a woman suffering from depression during the end of the world.
- Hidden Figures (2016): She played Vivian Mitchell, a supervisor at NASA.
- The Power of the Dog (2021): She received an Oscar nomination for her role as Rose Gordon.
- Civil War (2024): Her most recent major lead role, playing war photographer Lee Smith.
Josh Hartnett (The Male Lead: Trip Fontaine)
If the person you remember "seeing before" was the high school heartthrob with the long hair, it was Josh Hartnett. He was a massive star in the early 2000s before stepping away from Hollywood for a period.
- Halloween H20 (1998): His film debut, playing the son of Jamie Lee Curtis’s character.
- The Faculty (1998): He played the rebellious Zeke in this sci-fi horror cult classic.
- Pearl Harbor (2001): He starred as Danny Walker in this massive war epic.
- Black Hawk Down (2001): He played Staff Sergeant Matt Eversmann.
- 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002): A romantic comedy where he plays a man attempting to go without sex for Lent.
- Lucky Number Slevin (2006): A fast-paced crime thriller where he plays the lead.
- 30 Days of Night (2007): A vampire horror film set in an Alaskan town during a month of darkness.
- Oppenheimer (2023): He recently made a major comeback as Ernest Lawrence.
- Trap (2024): He stars as the lead in M. Night Shyamalan's recent thriller.
Other Notable Cast Members
- James Woods & Kathleen Turner: They played the parents. James Woods is famous for Casino and Hercules (Hades), and Kathleen Turner for Romancing the Stone and Body Heat.
