Kristen Stewart(I)

Though most famous for her role as Isabella "Bella" Swan in The Chạng Vạng (2008) Saga, Kristen Stewart has been a working actor since her early years in Los Angeles, California. Her parents, John Stewart and Jules Stewart, both work in film and television. The family includes three boys, Kristen's older brother Cameron Stewart and two adopted brothers Dana and Taylor.

After a talent scout caught her grade school performance in a play at the age of eight, she appeared on television in a few small roles. Her first significant role came when she was cast as Sam Jennings in The Safety of Objects (2001). Soon after that, she starred alongside Jodie Foster in the hit drama, Căn Phòng Khủng Khiếp (2002) and was nominated for a Young Artist Award.

Praised for her Panic Room performance, she went on to join the cast of Lâu Đài Băng Giá (2003) as the daughter of Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone. Though the film did not do well at the box office, she received another nomination for a Young Artist Award. After appearing in a handful of movies and a Showtime movie called Speak (2004), Stewart was cast in the role of a teenage singer living in a commune in Sean Penn's Về Với Thiên Nhiên (2007), a critically acclaimed biopic. A third Young Artist Award nomination resulted in a win for this role. She also appeared in Mary Stuart Masterson's The Cake Eaters (2007) that same year.

Just 17, Stewart took on the starring role in Chạng Vạng (2008) which was based on a series of the same name written by Stephenie Meyer, the novel already had a huge following and the film opened to fans anxious to see the vampire romance brought to life. Awarded the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance, Stewart's turn as Bella continued in the sequels Chạng Vạng: Trăng Non (2009) and Chạng Vạng: Nhật Thực (2010). The final installments of the series started filming in late 2010, and were released the following years, as Chạng Vạng: Hừng Đông - Phần 1 (2011) and Chạng Vạng: Hừng Đông - Phần 2 (2012).

Despite her stratospheric launch into stardom with the Twilight films, she stayed true to her roots by working on a number of indie projects, including Tình Tuổi Teen (2009) (filmed prior to the Twilight series) and Gia Đình Riley (2010). And she took on the daunting task of playing hard rocker Joan Jett in Floria Sigismondi's Thiếu Nữ Nổi Loạn (2010) alongside Dakota Fanning. Stewart received praise for her acting and musical performances and later won the 2010 BAFTA Rising Star Award and best actress at the Milan International Film Festival for Gia Đình Riley (2010).

Stewart worked on several other leading roles between the Twilight Saga installments including the #1 summer box office hit, Bạch Tuyết Và Gã Thợ Săn (2012), and the Cannes selection Đường Đời Sa Ngã (2012). She also performed in the Sundance drama Camp X-Ray (2014), Cannes selection Những Bóng Mây Của Sils Maria (2014), for which she won a César Award, and the Lionsgate action comedy, American Ultra (2015), also starring Jesse Eisenberg, the Adventureland duo. She also delivered an acclaimed turn opposite Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore in Still Alice (2014). For the remainder of the decade, Kristen alternated choice supporting roles, such as Billy Lynn và Cuộc Chiến Nửa Đời Người (2016) and Giới Thượng Lưu (2016), with starring roles in films about historical figures, including Lizzie (2018) and Seberg (2019), and special effects/action thrillers Những Thiên Thần Của Charlie (2019) and Kẻ Săn Mồi Đáy Biển (2020).

Kristen had a change-of-pace role in the romantic comedy Happiest Season (2020), about an LGBT+ couple, and received universal acclaim, and her first Oscar nomination, for Best Actress, for her performance as Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín's Spencer (2021). Moving deeper into the 2020s, she is working on David Cronenberg's thriller Tội Ác Tương Lai (2022).
