Los Angeles Premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse".Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live, Los Angeles, CA. (Bauer Griffin) Kristen Stewart (Bauer Griffin)Kristen Stewart is a name you may be sick of if you follow entertainment news at all. Between Twilight, The Runaways, and Robert Pattinson, Stewart is all the rage in the tabloids -- whether she wants to be or not.
Los Angeles native Kristen Stewart's first big role was playing Jodie Foster's daughter in Panic Room, and even more people took notice when she appeared in Into the Wild. But it was landing the part as Bella Swan in 2007's Twilight that catapulted Kristen to fame. The Twilight Saga, a series of books based on a girl who falls in love with a vampire, gained a huge following among teens. Stewart was cast opposite Pattinson (vampire Edward Cullen), leading the media to speculate about a possible romance between the two stars -- even when Stewart was dating Michael Angarano, from whom she split in 2008. Though both of them have denied a relationship, reports continue to claim that they're dating off-screen.
After Twilight, roles in the sequels New Moon and Eclipse followed, as will Breaking Dawn, the final installment.
But when she's not busy being Bella Swan, Stewart is also starring in 2010's Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways (as the legendary Joan Jett), and On the Road, which will start shooting in August.
