Kirsten Dunst

The Bring It On star can thank her high school cheer background for helping her land the role of Torrance Shipman. Dunst cheered at both Laurel High School and Notre Dame High School. Until the blockbuster cheer film came out, she was busy doing backflips and handstands on her own turf.

After starring in Bring It On, Dunst landed the leading lady role of Mary Jane Watson in the Toby Maguire Spider-Man franchise.
