Gotham magazine: When Twilight actress Ashley Greene moved to Los Angeles at age 17, she worked in restaurants to pay her rent. Now brands like Mark are signing her for big-time contracts, and People magazine has dubbed her one of the year�s most beautiful people; all the while, directors are lining up to cast her.
Greene recently wrapped up work on Butter, the tale of a Midwestern woman (played by Jennifer Garner) trying to win a local butter-carving contest. �It was the first comedy I�ve ever done, so I was equally terrified and excited,� says Greene. �Plus I was working with Jennifer Garner, who I could just sit and watch all day long.�
Garner is the kind of actress that Greene wants to emulate: one who straddles action and comedy in her professional life and maintain a grounded personal life at least somewhat out of the public eye. As for her own celebrity status, Greene understands it�s something that has to be taken seriously in a world where girls want to emulate the young women they see on the big screen. �I definitely try to be a positive role model,� she says. �Right now my fans seem to be growing with me. I want my fans to know that Twilight has given me an incredible opportunity, but this is all still new and exciting for me."
