Although Kristen has been working in the film industry for years, it wasn't until she accepted the role of Bella cisne in the Twilight filmes that her life and her career changed forever. Has the Twilight series done mais harm than good to Kristen?

There are people who are not willing to let Kristen forget she ever participated in the Twilight movies, even when she has proved herself to be an exceptional and talented actress. Her role in the film Clouds of Sils Maria earned her the Cesar Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Such an award was a major victory for our beloved Kristen, as it shows at least the French are willing to look past the Twilight series. If Kristen keeps playing for keeps, she will become the bankable leading lady she was always meant to be.
