Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Kristen Stewart into the ol’ VCR.

On April 9, 1990, Kristen Stewart (aka one of my biggest celebrity crushes) was born. 

She was born in L.A. and raised in the San Fernando Valley (a la Hilary Duff’s character in A Cinderella Story). 

Kristen Stewart started acting in elementary school and snagged her first small roles in movies like The Thirteenth Year and The Safety of Objects after being discovered by an agent in her school’s Christmas play. 

Then, in 2002, she landed her first starring role in David Fincher’s Panic Room, alongside Jodie Foster. 

As a result, Kristen Stewart began acting regularly with lead and/or bigger roles in Catch That Kid, Speak, and Zathura: A Space Adventure, just to name a few. 

However, it was in 2007 that she gained international recognition after being cast as Bella Swan in the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. 

Kristen Stewart would also portray Joan Jett in The Runaways and star in films like Welcome to the Rileys, Adventureland, and The Yellow Handkerchief (2008) during the Twilight series’ run. 

From there, Kristen Stewart’s career began to explode, as she did modeling/fashion media, acted in several indie films, and even appeared in Jenny Lewis’s music video for “Just One of the Guys.” 

Kristen Stewart came out as bisexual in 2017 and revealed that she was told it could jeopardize her career. 

She also says that she’s fluid in both her gender and identity, and she’s been an LGBTQIA+ icon ever since. 

I also want to mention how much the media criticized Kristen for her acting in Twilight, even though it’s extremely clear she’s a talented actress, and these were romantic fantasy novels about vampires and werewolves, so she did the best she could with what she had. 

And now, she’s even gone on to play Princess Diana and CRUSH it. 

Hell yeah. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Kristen Stewart that hasn’t already been said. 

Kristen, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
