In praise of Kirsten Dunst, for her 40th birthday
It is exactly right and proper that I should honour this extraordinary performer and wonderful human being.
Happy 40th birthday to the eternally lovely and wonderful Kirsten Dunst! I’ve had a crush on her since 1994 (my longest-standing celebrity crush), and she’s been delivering nothing but excellent performances in all that time. She is one of the greatest living and working actors, as well as one of the most radiant and most gorgeous human beings anywhere in public life. I absolutely adore her, and when she was nominated for an Oscar very recently, I swooned and exulted in my soul. I am of the personal belief that she deserved to win the best supporting actress Oscar for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in 2004! And her public image has always given me the impression that she is not simply a surpassingly luminous person but also a deeply compassionate one. I wish her every joy and every blessing in the world!
