Dunst embraces role

Kirsten Dunst says her role as Claire in Cameron Crowe's new film, Elizabethtown, was one of the best female parts she'd read in ages.

"She is honest and upfront to a fault," Dunst tells W magazine. "She doesn't have a lot of fear. She's dorky and doesn't care, and in that way she's cool."

Dunst plays a flight attendant in the romantic comedy, co-starring Orlando Bloom.
