Kristen Jaymes Stewart, who is currently in the midst of filming The Twilight Saga: New Moon, is officially nineteen years old today (April 9th)! Including her current projects (The Twilight Saga: New Moon, K-11, and The Runaways), Stewart's youth has proved no obstacle to accomplishment as she boasts twenty-two films (and counting) on her resume already.

Beginning back in 2001 with her role as Sam Jennings in The Safety of Objects, and up to her latest completed and newly released picture Adventureland, Kristen Stewart has seen the kind of success that most actors might only dream about.

Kristen's curriculum vitae includes the following films (in order from oldest to newest): The Safety of Objects, Panic Room, Cold Creek Manor, Speak, Catch that Kid, Undertow, Fierce People, Zathura: A Space Adventure, In the Land of Women, The Messengers, The Cake Eaters, Into the Wild, Cutlass, The Yellow Handkerchief, What Just Happened, Jumper, Twilight, and Welcome to the Rileys. From playing the asthmatic but bright and fierce Sarah Altman, daughter of Jodie Foster (in Panic Room) to the disease-stricken but beautiful and aspirational Georgia (in Cake Eaters), and from the wayward youth with family issues, Lucy (in In the Land of Women), to the youthful, talented and seductive wanderer Tracy Tatro (in Into the Wild), and, finally, from the lovestruck, intelligent, and compelling Bella Swan (needless to say, in Twilight) to the irresistibly confused and messy Em (in Adventureland), Kristen Stewart's career has taken her into the minds of many, many women. In turn, Kristen Stewart has inserted her characters into the hearts of millions through her sheer gift and maturity.

As was the case with her birthday last year, Kristen will likely be celebrating the introduction to her last year as a teen on the set. Last year, Kristen rang in her birthday on the set of Twilight (cake and everything), and, thanks to the success of Twilight, this year she will be ringing in yet another with her friends from the series (including co-star Taylor Lautner, at the very least) in Vancouver.
