A year full of success? "Bring It On."

This celebrity has come a long way since playing Torrance in the 2000 flick “Bring It On.”
So, ENTITY’s here to tell you what Kirsten Dunst is up to now and why 2017 is totally her year.
In June, the actress found out she will be one of the 34 celebrities getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018. The list also includes names like Jennifer Lawrence, Simon Cowell, Shonda Rhimes and Steve Irwin.
But who was the first person Kirsten Dunst told about her accomplishment? Obviously, her mom, who was shopping at Vons when she received the message. “My mom’s always at Vons,” Dunst joked in her Instagram caption.
News came out in January that the former “Fargo” co-stars are planning to tie the knot. The clue that gave it away was the shiny ring Dunst sported at the Palm Springs Film Festival on Jan. 2.
The couple played high school sweethearts on the second season of “Fargo” and they took home some awards for these roles.
Kirsten Dunst won the Critics Choice Television Award for “Best Actress in a Movie Made for Television or Limited Series” in 2016. And Jesse Plemons won “Best Supporting Actor in a Movie Made for Television or Limited Series” at the same ceremony.
Even with the success Kirsten Dunst has attained, this actress hasn’t taken any time off. Recently, she’s starred in two movies, both of which are scheduled to release in 2017. Dunst is in the Civil War era drama, “The Beguiled,” which released in June and the psychological thriller, “Woodshock,” which is set to release in September.
Her most recent acting gigs just add to her long list of roles in movies like “Interview with the Vampire,” “Bring It On,” “Spiderman” and “Hidden Figures.”
It’s $25 million, to be exact.
The 35-year-old actress has been acting for 28 years. Her first movie role was in Woody Allen’s short film “Oedipus Wrecks,” but the actress got her big break in 1994 when she played Claudia in “Interview with the Vampire.”
However, one of her biggest breadwinners comes from her role in “Spiderman” as Mary Jane Waston, where she had an $8 million salary!
And if you’re wondering where she spends all that cash, we do know some of it goes to her homes. Kirsten Dunst put her New York City loft up for sale earlier this year for $5 million, but she still owns a lake-front residence in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles.
This Hollywood star isn’t letting all the fame go to her head. Or her mouth.
Despite having a net worth of $25 million, Kirsten Dunst chose to keep her original pearly whites. She received a great deal of pressure from directors and fans, but Dunst heeded her best friend’s advice.
“Sofia (Coppola) said to me when I was 16, ‘Don’t ever change your teeth,’” she told InStyle Magazine. “By the time I got to Spider-Man, they were like, ‘You should change your teeth.’ I said, ‘No, that’s what makes me special.’ I never felt like I had to become something I wasn’t.”
And the decision benefitted her roles as the girl-next-door in “Spiderman” and as the historic beauty in “Marie Antoinette.”
Congratulations Kirsten Dunst! You’re rocking it and it’s only the beginning of July. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for you.
