Dunst 'crashes party for audition'

Rex Features

Kirsten Dunst reportedly turned up uninvited to a party in New York to perform an audition.

The actress crashed a lunchtime event at The Plaza Hotel's Oak Room to be tested for a role in Oscar-winning director Jane Campion’s forthcoming film Runaway.

An onlooker noted Dunst trying to impress the filmmaker, telling the New York Daily News: "Kirsten is tapdancing like crazy to get a job!"

Dunst's spokesperson has yet to respond to the claims.

Runaway is based on a series of short stories by Alice Munro.
