In an era in which every teen star has a stylist and a bland pop record, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart is the tough-minded, no-frills anomaly. Stewart played Bella Swan not as a cartoon but as anxious and complicated�making the predicament of being torn between a vampire and a werewolf seem � well, almost plausible. The daughter of a television-producer father and an Australian script-supervisor mother, the L.A.-bred Stewart has been consistently drawn to melancholy over flash. Between Twilight installments, her edgy trajectory will continue with Welcome to the Rileys, about the friendship between a stripper and a married businessman, played by James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, about rocker Joan Jett.
At just 24, Anna Kendrick has already shown impressive range, from Bella Swan�s twit friend Jessica in the Twilight saga to George Clooney�s buttoned-up colleague in Up in the Air. At age 12, the Maine native was nominated for a Tony Award, for her role in the 1998 musical High Society. After she auditioned for the role of Natalie in Up in the Air, she thought she�d tanked, given director Jason Reitman�s utter non-reaction. Turned out he�d written the role for her, after having seen her in the small high-school film Rocket Science. Next, she�ll star with Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
