Kirsten Dunst Quit Films After Marie Antoinette Bombed  4/10/07

Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst was so depressed by the public reaction to her film Marie Antoninette, she decided to take a "very long break from movies" after filming Spider-Man 3.

The actress, who was critically hailed for her performance in the Sofia Coppola-directed film, hated seeing the project suffer at the box office.

Dunst, 24, says, "I was in a lot of pain while making Spider-Man 3.

"Afterwards, I was done with acting. I was so sick of giving myself to other people, because I had nothing in my life that was all mine.

"When I finished the film, I needed a very long break from movies.

"I couldn't look at a script, I didn't care about acting and I haven't worked since, because that's the thing that's been causing the pain."
