Kristen Stewart (born April 9, 1990 in Colorado), is an American actress. Kristen Stewart was born on April 9, 1990 in Colorado, USA to John Stewart, a TV producer who works at FOX TV. Stewart got her big break in the 2002 movie, Panic Room, replacing another young actress in the role. Stewart was cast in the role partly because she bears a striking resemblance to Jodie Foster, who played her mother in the film. Following Panic Room, Stewart played the daughter of a couple that move into a haunted house in the movie Cold Creek Manor (2003). To date, Stewart’s most critically acclaimed role is her role in the movie Speak (2004). Speak was filmed for 21 days in Columbus, Ohio in August 2003. Stewart, only 13 at the time of filming, plays a high school freshman who is raped and has to deal with emotional turmoil. The role was particularly difficult because the main character has very few speaking lines. Stewart has received great praise for her expressions and wonderful portrayal of teenage emotions without saying many words, although the film was not released theatrically. Stewart is currently working on a new film and can be seen in theatres in the film Zathura. Kristen is an avid surfer and lives with her older brother Cameron and parents in Los Angeles.
