Kristen Stewart

Biography:
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.

  1. K. prizes her privacy, just as all Americans do. The media need to keep their distance.

    I was a detective for 36 years, and I know all about privacy, and the violation thereof. I also have a degree from the Newhouse School, one of the most prestigious journalism schools in America and, therefore, probably, on earth.

    I never pursued journalism, because its rule is, if you're a public figure, all bets are off; you automatically give up all rights to privacy.

    That's prima facie crap.

    K. is a human being, not a "thing" to make money off of. There is a basic miscomprehension about actors: because they make money off who they are, then the predatory media thinks they share the same permission to make money off who they are. Nothing could be more different.

    An actor onscreen is not real. Reality is what is as it is, independently of the way it's represented in any finite set of representations. Thus, movies and the actors in them are not real; but the actor is.

    K. is the most intriguing and mysterious actor of our generation, but nobody gets it. She carries a boatload of mystery with her, yet social media is too ignorant to understand that; they focus instead on her looks, on conjectures about her sexuality, and all the other meaningless trivia that hits their minds and goes unprocessed.

    Get a set of brains. Look deeper.
