Kristen Stewart (22 photos)
Having become famous thanks to the “Twilight” saga and her memorable role as Bella Swan, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart is far from a newcomer to cinema. Having first appeared on screen at the age of nine, by 2002 the actress had already been nominated for her first film award. Even before reaching adulthood, Kristen made a more than successful start in cinema and became a world-class star. And the next year will be more than busy for her - the girl is already busy in several film projects.
1. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will meet again in the third chapter of their love story. Premiere of the film “Twilight. Saga. Eclipse" is scheduled for June 30. Stewart's heroine, Bella Swan, will once again have to choose between her vampire lover Edward and her werewolf friend Jacob.
2. Stewart got her chance to feel like a rock star when she landed the role of the legendary Joan Jett, leader of the all-female rock band The Runaways, in the musical biopic.

5. Stewart was awarded the Orange Rising Star Award on February 21, 2010 in London. The judges chose "an actress who demonstrated extraordinary talent and was able to capture the attention of audiences as a true star in the making," said one of the organizers.

7. In 2009, in the film “Twilight. Saga. New Moon" Stewart and Pattinson's characters spend very little time together, thereby leaving time for Bella to study the ancient curse imposed on werewolves. But, despite this, viewers were still able to watch the “love line” of the film during rare meetings between Edward and Bella.

15. Many consider the Twilight saga to be a horror film, but if this is actually the case, then this is not the first film of this genre in which Stewart has had the opportunity to star. In 2007, she played in the film The Messengers. The plot tells the story of a family who decides to go live on a farm in Kansas, where terrible murders suddenly begin to occur.
