Lately, we have seen her posing for Elle magazine and on the cover of Vanity Fair. The immense success of Kristen Stewart has taken all of us coffee drinkers by surprise. Who knew that this child star would be named Forbes highest-paid actress – and did we mention she’s only 22 year old? Cashing in her 1-year paycheck of $34.5 million, Kristen is indispensible and all of Hollywood knows it.
K Stew’s initial success began with her role opposite Jodie Foster in “Panic Room.” Dubbed a child actress from the start and thanks to her parents already in the film industry, Kristen is no stranger to the Hollywood scene.

“Snow White & The Huntsman” takes a different, and honestly refreshing, look at the classic fairy tale we all know and love. It had competition with films, like “Mirror Mirror” and the popular TV show, “Once Upon a Time,” but the fairy tale craze seems to only heighten the outstanding performances seen in this action drama piece. Kristen Stewart’s character, Snow White, is not the lovely damsel in distress, but more the feisty fighting female, who we still think is the “fairest of them all.” Kristen holds her own amongst Hollywood hotshots like Chris Hemsworth, the Huntsman, and Charlize Theron, the evil Queen Ravenna.
