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.
