Kirsten Dunst Takes Time Out  3/1/07

Kirsten Dunst is putting her acting career on hold to study art.

The 25-year-old actress has been working constantly since childhood and wants to take a majority of 2007 off for herself before returning to acting at the summer, when she will take up the role of murdered aid worker Marla Ruzicka in an as yet unnamed movie.

Her spokesman Stephen Huvane tells the New York Daily News, "Kirsten has been studying art, among many other things, as well as just needing some time off after filming and promoting several movies in a row."
