Kristen at no. 11 in Total Film's "The 30 Hottest Rising Actors Right Now"

No. 11 Kristen Stewart

Who? Stewart’s name will always be synonymous with Twilight, 2008’s surprise monster hit, which spawned four sequels.

Why So Hot? Stewart achieved years of critical acclaim in indie films like Speak and Into The Wild, but Twlight pushed her into the big time. She's since stuck to her roots with smaller productions – taking a role opposite Jesse Eisenberg in Adventureland, with fellow Twilight alumni Dakota Fanning in The Runaways, and then as MaryLou in the controversial novel adaptation On The Road.
Having paid her dues, she's now heading back into studio fare, taking the lead in Universal’s Snow White And The Huntsman, due out next June.

What’s Next? The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, the penultimate film in the series, is due out this November.
