Though she spent some time in Colorado as a youngster, Kristen Stewart’s formative years were primarily spent in and around the Los Angeles area. The daughter of television producer John Stewart (FOX TV), Kristen Stewart’s interest in acting sparked at a very early age and the would-be starlet consequently took on roles in school plays whenever possible.
It was at just such a production that an agent spotted her and -- by the time she was just 8 years old -- Kristen Stewart had become a fixture on the auditioning circuit. Her professional debut came with a small role in a 1999 Disney Channel movie called The Thirteenth Year (she played the “girl waiting to get a drink”). It quickly became evident to Kristen Stewart’s friends and family that she stood a real chance of achieving stardom.

Why Is She Famous?
Though she has only appeared in a handful of film and television productions, Kristen Stewart has nevertheless managed to conquer roles in such hits as 2002’s Panic Room, 2005’s Zathura: A Space Adventure, 2007’s The Messengers, and 2008's What Just Happened?
Success
She hasn't won any Oscars (yet), but she was nominated for the Young Artist Award three times in a row. She has also appeared in some big-screen blockbusters alongside a few Hollywood giants. She acted with Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto in Panic Room, Sharon Stone in Cold Creek Manor (2003), Into the Wild (2007) with Emile Hirsch and Vince Vaughn, Jumper (2008) with Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson, and What Just Happened (2008) with Sean Penn, Robert De Niro and Bruce Willis.
Sexiness
Some girls nonchalantly slide under the radar and don't receive the recognition they deserve. When being rated on her sexiness, Kristen Stewart is one of those women. She replaced Hayden Panettiere, an actress who's received countless accolades for her pretty face and fantastic figure, in Panic Room. However, we think Kristen Stewart should get a little more credit for those incredible eyes, her healthy glow of a complexion and a body with curves in all the right places.
