Kristen Stewart became an actress unintentionally

Kristen Stewart is from a showbiz family as her father works as a stage manager and television producer in Hollywood and her mother is a script supervisor. Consequently, Kristen always had an opportunity to break into the business yet she was not that interested in performing in front of the camera.

Stewart remarked about a school performance at eight years old that initially earned her the attention of a talent scout,  “It’s weird, because I would be the last person in my school to be in plays, but I was forced to sing a song in a school thing.”

“I sang a dreidel song, which is funny for me. I’ve never celebrated Hanukkah — it wasn’t in my upbringing, but it was one of those deals where everybody has to pick a song or participate somehow in the chorus. That’s how I met my agent, who was in the audience.”

The school performance led to a role alongside Jodie Foster in Panic Room (age 10) and then something called The Twilight Saga happened. Safe to say it all worked out in the end.
