Kirsten Dunst; Robin Williams in 2011Kirsten Dunst is looking back on working with "generous" costar Robin Williams as a kid.
The Civil War actress, now 41, starred opposite Williams in the 1995 adventure film Jumanji, which also featured Bonnie Hunt, Bradley Pierce, Jonathan Hyde, Bebe Neuwirth and David Alan Grier.
In an interview with Variety, Dunst recalled that Williams, who died in 2014 at age 63, got her her first computer at age 13 as a wrap gift when production ended.
"It was an Apple, the ones that came in all those different colors. He was like the most generous, kind, funny person," said Dunst.
