Kristen Stewart was born and raised
in Los Angeles. Her father, John S-
tewart, is a stage manager and tel-
evision producer who has worked for
Fox.Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart,
is a script supervisor originally
from Maroochydore, Queensland,
Australia. She has an older brother,
Cameron Stewart.Stewart attended
school until the seventh grade, and
then continued her education by
correspondence.She has since comple-
ted high school.Her whole family all
worked behind the camera, and Stewart
thought she would become a writer/
director, but never considered being
an actor. "I never wanted to be the
center of attention — I wasn't that
'I want to be famous, I want to be an
actor' kid. I never sought out acting,
but I always practiced my autograph
because I love pens. I'd write my
name on everything."Stewart's acting
career began at the age of eight,after
an agent saw her perform in her
elementary school's Christmas play.
After a year of auditioning, Stewart's
first role was a nonspeaking part in
the film The Thirteenth Year.Then, she
had another part in the film The
Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas as the
"ring toss girl".She subsequently appeared
in the independent film 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 film Panic Room,
playing the diabetic daughter of a divorced
mother (Jodie Foster). The film received
generally positive reviews, and Stewart
garnered positive notices for her performance.
She was nominated for a Young Artist
Award for her performance.
After Panic Room's success, Stewart was
cast in another thriller, Cold Creek Manor,
playing the daughter of Dennis Quaid's
and Sharon Stone's characters; the film
generally failed at the box office.
She was again nominated for a Young Artist
Award for her performance.It was revealed
that at about this time in her career,
she had to be homeschooled due to her irregular schedule, which was affecting her grades.
She said, "I started homeschooling because my teachers were failing me. I think it
was just resentment — I made more work for
them. But homeschooling is great; you can
study what you want, which allows you to
get more excited about what you're doing".
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 Showtime television
film Speak (2004), 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. Stewart received great praise for
playing the character, who had only a
few speaking lines, but kept up a darkly
humorous commentary inside her head
throughout the film.Kristen Stewart in
Hollywood, 2007In 2005, Stewart appeared
in the fantasy-adventure film 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 film received
praise by critics, but Stewart's performance
did not garner much media attention, as it
was noted that her character is
immobilized during most of the film.
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 film The Messengers.
In 2007, Stewart appeared as teenager
Lucy Hardwicke in In the Land of Women,
a romantic drama starring Meg Ryan and
Adam Brody. The film, as well as Stewart's performance, received mixed reviews.
That same year, Stewart appeared in Sean
Penn's critically acclaimed adaptation
film 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, Stewart
had a cameo appearance in Jumper and also
appeared in What Just Happened, which
was released in October 2008.
She also co-stars in The Cake Eaters
an independent film that has only been
screened at film festivals.

Floria Sigismondi.Stewart met with Jett
over the 2008–2009 New Year to prepare
for the role, and ended up
prerecording songs in a studio for
the film.She received nearly unanimous
praise for her performance. Josh
Tyler of Cinema Blend pronounced
her to be "a modern day James Dean.
She gives the kind of performance in
The Runaways that hasn’t been seen on
screen since his death. The Runaways
is her Rebel Without a Cause ...
she’s absolutely brilliant as Joan
Jett."The Metro Times wrote, "It turns
out that Stewart is actually
really good at capturing Jett's icy,
tough-but-cool girl swagger, adding
the needed touches of vulnerability
that transform it into a pretty
terrific performance... Stewart
is a genuine rock star here."Also, A.O.
Scott of The New York Times noted "Ms. Stewart, watchful and unassuming, gives the
movie its spine and soul."Stewart
will star in a film called K-11
with Jason Mewes.[5] The film,

in the near future, saying, "I want to

to be a writer. I mean, I love what I do,

a professional liar for the rest of my
life.In an interview with Vanity Fair,

Angarano, her co-star from Speak.But now

"Everybody says the first cut if the deepest.
It’s so true. I don’t know if it’s because
it’s the best love, but it’s the first that
you remember. There is one boy that I will
remember for the rest of my life, and I
wouldn’t go as far as to say, ‘Oh I was in
love with him and he broke my heart’. You hold
on to that, just that first experience, it’s
good to have and you should appreciate it,
even if it hurts.

about her first love / July 03,2010
