Kristen Stewart captured our hearts in the Twilight movie as Bella Swan. She will of course be returning as Bella in the upcoming New Moon movie.

Kristen has had a very active acting career to date.  Some of the movies that she played in surprised me.  I didn't recognize her since she is all grown up.  She has 4 movies being released this year and she is already set to film a movie for 2010.
