A seasoned actress at age 22, Kirsten Dunst is estranged from her mother, Inez, for pushing her into acting at age 3.

"I would never do this to my child - start them out as a child actor," she tells Allure magazine. "Being a child is complicated enough, and then you add all this other stuff. There were definitely parts of my mother that would have liked to do it herself."

Dunst, who stars in Wimbledon, opening Sept. 17, adds: "My mom and I are going through a separation right now. It's all about each of us letting the other one go.

"It's even more complicated than the normal mother/daughter stuff."
