Kristen Stewart

Kristen Jaymes Stewart was born in Los Angeles, California on April 9th, 1990 to John Stewart and Jules Mann-Stewart. Kristen’s father, John, works as a stage manager and TV producer for different organizations, most notably FOX. Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is originally from Australia and works as a script supervisor in Los Angeles. Kristen also has an older brother, Cameron.

When Kristen was young, her family relocated to Colorado, where they lived for several years before moving back to Los Angeles. Her acting career began after an agent noticed her performing in a school Christmas play when she was eight years old. After a non-speaking part in a Disney TV movie, Kristen acted in the role of Sam Jennings in The Safety of Objects. Shortly after completing this film, Kristen landed the part of Jodie Foster’s daughter in Panic Room (2002). Then only 12 years old, Kristen was already working with one of the biggest names in Hollywood. She received praise for her performance in the film, and, as a result, garnered the respect of the Hollywood community and was nominated for a Young Artist Award (for a complete list of Kristen’s feature film roles, please refer to the “Filmography” page).

Since the start of her Hollywood career, Kristen has entertained moviegoers with her impassioned character portrayals, specifically that of Bella Swan (in Twilight). With multiple projects currently filming or in the production phases, Kristen continues to move forward in her career and look ahead for new opportunities.

Twilight star Kristen Stewart once professed an "aversion to looking sexy," but proximity to the hotness that is Robert Pattinson seems to have helped Kristen embrace her inner sexpot.

Since becoming Bella Swan in Twilight (and New Moon, and Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn), K.Stew has landed on three of FHM's Sexiest Women in the World lists, Ask Men's Top 99 Most Desirable Women list, and the Maxim Hot 100.

Also known for her lip-biting aloofness, Kristen Stewart is a famously quirky ingénue. Be it rocking Converse sneakers on the red carpet or making a mullet look sexy, the ever-evolving fashionista has made statements in everything from spike-covered skirts to a breathtaking Monique Lhuillier gown–all while staying true to herself.

As the spokeswoman for the 2012 Balenciaga fragrance for women, she even smells fashionable.

K.Stew's biggest breakout role is, of course, her portrayal of Bella Swan in the Twilight saga.

The first installment in 2008 was hotly anticipated and shot the young Stewart into international stardom almost overnight. Kristen's role in the film earned her the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance, which she also went on to win for the three Twilight follow-ups: New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn: Part I.

Despite her best efforts to keep her private life under wraps, Kristen Stewart's on-again-off-again romance with Twilight costar Robert Pattinson has been a staple of constant gossip.

In 2012, the Robsten universe imploded with news that Stewart had cheated on her man with Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. K.Stew issued a public apology to her leading man, and he has famously forgiven her.
