DUNST SPENT TIME WITH VICTIM’S FAMILY FOR NEW MOVIE
KIRSTEN DUNST threw herself into the role of a real-life missing person for her new movie by spending time with the victim’s family.
The actress stars opposite Ryan Reynolds in All Good Things as real estate heir Robert Durst’s first wife Kathy, who disappeared in 1982.
Durst was later suspected of murdering one of his neighbours, although he was never convicted of the crime, but Kathy’s family has long feared he may have been involved in his wife’s disappearance.
Dunst undertook months of research before tackling the role, even having dinner with Kathy’s relatives and talking to them about the case.
She tells the New York Post, "There was a documentary plus much research to understand these people. I spent time with her family, had dinner at their house, listened to them, got their blessings for this film. Nervous at first that this ugly story’s coming back to public life, they had kind words for me but were emotional. It was almost cathartic for Kathy’s brother."
