Kristen Stewart’s first prominent role was that of Jodie Foster’s daughter in the 2002 film Panic Room, but she didn’t become a household name until she starred as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga movies. Ever since then, Stewart has been criticized for her awkward and sometimes-stunted performances, a persona that is very reflective of how she is when the cameras aren’t rolling. But don’t be mistaken, Stewart actually has some acting chops and uses her awkwardness to her advantage. Catch her and her grown-up look in Clouds of Sils Maria, Café Society, and Equals.
