Kirsten Dunst Hits Back Over Deborah Harry Criticism  4/6/07

Kirsten Dunst has hit out at Blondie fans angry she has been cast as Deborah Harry in a movie about the rocker.

Message boards devoted to Harry and the band have been bombarded with posts from angry devotees who claim Dunst doesn't have the looks or talent to do the role justice.

But the 24-year-old actress points to the fact she was picked by Harry herself.

Dunst says, "Debbie chose me for this role so anyone who disputes this can take it up with her.

"I'll work hard on this character because she is the coolest woman of all time."
