Biography for Kristen Stewart

Kristen Jaymes Stewart (born Apr. 9, 1990 (22 years ago)) is an American movie and TV actress. She is known for roles in movies such as Panic Room, Zathura, In the Land of Women, Adventureland, Into The Wild (9 walls), The Messengers and Twilight.

Early years

Stewart was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her father, John Stewart, is a stage manager and TV producer who has worked for Fox. Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is a script supervisor originally from Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia. She attended school until the seventh grade, and then continued her education by correspondence. She has an older brother, Cameron Stewart.

Career

Stewart's acting career began at the age of eight, after an agent saw her perform in her elementary school's Christmas play. Stewart's first role was a short, nonspeaking part in the Disney Channel TV production The Thirteenth Year. She subsequently appeared in the independent movie The Safety of Objects, in which she played the tomboy daughter of a troubled single mother (Patricia Clarkson). Stewart had a major role in the Hollywood movie Panic Room, playing the sullen, diabetic daughter of a divorced mother (Jodie Foster (6 walls)). The movie received generally positive reviews, and Stewart garnered positive notices for her performance.

After Panic Room's success, Stewart was cast in another thriller, Cold Creek Manor, playing the daughter of Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone's characters; the movie generally failed at the box office. Her first starring role followed, in the children's action-comedy Catch That Kid, opposite Max Thieriot and Corbin Bleu. Stewart also played the role of Lila in the thriller Undertow. To date, Stewart's most critically acclaimed role may be in the TV movie Speak (2004, 8 years ago), based on the novel by Laurie Halse Anderson. Stewart, 13 at the time of filming, played high school freshman Melinda Sordino, who stops almost all verbal contact after being raped and who deals with enormous amounts of emotional turmoil. Stewart received great praise for playing the character, who had only a few speaking lines, but kept up a dark-witted commentary inside her head throughout the film.

In 2005 (7 years ago), Stewart appeared in the fantasy-adventure movie Zathura, playing the role of Lisa, the irresponsible older sister of two little boys, who turn their house into a spacecraft hurtling uncontrollably in outer space by playing a board game. The movie received praise by critics, but Stewart's performance didn't garner much media attention as it was noted that her character is immobilized during most of the movie. The following year, she played the character Maya in Fierce People, directed by Griffin Dunne. After that film, she received the lead role of Jess Solomon in the supernatural thriller movie The Messengers.

In 2007 (5 years ago), Stewart appeared as teenager Lucy Hardwicke in In the Land of Women, a romantic drama starring Meg Ryan and The O.C. star Adam Brody. The movie, as well as Stewart's performance, received mixed reviews. That same year, Stewart starred in Sean Penn's critically acclaimed adaptation movie Into the Wild. For her portrayal of Tracy — a teenage singer who has a crush on young adventurer Christopher McCandless — Stewart received generally positive reviews. Salon.com considered her work a "sturdy, sensitive performance", and the Chicago Tribune noted that she did "vividly well with a sketch of a role." Her performance was not without detractors, however; Variety's critic Dennis Harvey wrote, "It's unclear whether Stewart means to be playing hippie-chick Tracy as vapid, or whether it just comes off that way." After Into The Wild (9 walls), Stewart had a cameo appearance in Jumper (6 walls) and also appeared in What Just Happened, which was released in Oct. 2008 (4 years ago). She also co-stars in The Cake Eaters and The Yellow Handkerchief, both independent movies that have only been screened at movie festivals.

On Nov. 16, 2007 (5 years ago), Summit Entertainment announced that Stewart would play Isabella "Bella" Swan in the movie Twilight (54 walls), based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance novel of the same name. Stewart was on the set of Adventureland when director Catherine Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test which "captivated" the director. She stars alongside Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen, her character's vampire boyfriend. The movie began production in Feb. 2008 (4 years ago) and finished filming in May 2008 (4 years ago). Twilight (54 walls) was released domestically on Nov. 21, 2008 (4 years ago). After the release of Twilight (54 walls), Kristen Stewart was awarded the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance for her portrayal as Bella Swan. Stewart will be reprising her role as Bella in the sequel, New Moon (7 walls), in 2009 (3 years ago).

During a radio interview with Big O and Dukes of WJFK 1067 (945 years ago), Jason Mewes stated that he is doing a movie called K-11 with Stewart and Nikki Reed (6 walls), also of Twilight. The film, which is being directed by Stewart's mother, takes place in a dorm of the Los Angeles County Jail, and will feature both Stewart and Reed as male characters. Stewart was also cast to portray Joan Jett in The Runaways, a biopic of the titular band from writer-director Floria Sigismondi. Stewart met with Jett over the 2008-2009 New Year to prepare for the role, and hopes to be able to sing in the film.

Personal life

Stewart currently lives in Woodland Hills in Los Angeles, California. In a 2008 (4 years ago) interview with Vanity Fair, Stewart stated that she was dating actor Michael Angarano, her co-star from the movie Speak. Stewart has expressed a desire to live and work in Australia, saying, "I want to go to Sydney University in Australia. My mom's from there." Apart from acting, she is also interested in attending college in the near future, saying, "I want to go to college for literature. I want to be a writer. I mean, I love what I do, but it's not all I want to do — be a professional liar for the rest of my life." Stewart is a guitar player and singer.
