L'Oréal Professionnel names actress Kirsten Dunst spokeswoman

MONTREAL — L'Oréal Professionnel, a salon-exclusive brand, has tapped actress Kirsten Dunst — lead actress of Hossein Amini's thriller “The Two Faces of January,” to be released in 2014 — to be its very first L'Oréal Professionnel spokeswoman. Dunst will embody the upcoming launches of Beach Waves and Absolut Repair Lipidium. 



"Kirsten Dunst has a timeless beauty and is a modern woman, closely connected to fashion. She has a strong personality and makes her own choices. Her great professionalism and commitment to excellence make Kirsten one of the talented actresses I have ever met. She has the perfect attributes to embody the new values of L'Oréal Professionnel," stated Anne-Laure Lecerf, international managing director of L'Oréal Professionnel.



Dunst's filmography includes more than 50 films. She started her career at a very young age following her breakthrough Golden Globe-nominated role in “Interview with the Vampire.” Her performances in Spider-Man trilogy as Mary Jane Watson are some of the most successful milestones of her career.



As Sofia Coppola's muse, Dunst portrayed Marie Antoinette in 2000, a theatrical drama and stylish performance that took her career further. But Dunst was singled out for great praise playing a depressed woman at the end of the world in Lars von Trier's “Melancholia.” The film was positively received by critics and Dunst was awarded Best Actress at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.



Year 2014 will mark the release of Amini's latest thriller, “The Two Faces of January,” also starring Viggo Mortensen and Oscar Isaac. In January, Dunst will start filming Jeff Nichols' next science fiction movie, “Midnight Special,” in which she will play a lead role next to Joel Edgerton and Michael Shannon.
