10 Future Stars Who Appeared In Star Trek
3. Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst appeared in the Next Generation's final season episode Dark Page. Here, she plays a telepathic character who reminds Lwaxana Troi so much of her late daughter, Kestra, that she begins to suffer seizures and eventually slips into a coma that only Deanna can save her from. The following year, Dunst would again play an evil little child - Claudia, in the film adaptation of Interview With The Vampire.
While evil is probably the wrong word for her Star Trek character, this was the beginning of a long career for Dunst. She would appear in many films through the 90s, as well as a short stint on ER, where she played Charlie, a girl living on the streets, who comes to George Clooney's Doug Ross for help.
The early 00s were a triumph for her. She joined Gabrielle Union in Bring It On, though it was the Sam Raimi Spider-man films that truly launched her, as she took the role of Mary-Jane Watson. She would appear in all three.
Dunst would go on to win several awards, though she received her first Academy Award Nomination in 2021 for her role in The Power Of The Dog.
