I totally agree and Jodie handled everything exceptionally, also thanks to her mother who has been there for her for a long time when she was young and even in her 20s.
I just read an "Elle" article/interview on Kristen Stewart and she has big trouble with her huge fame that came with the "Twilight" franchise.
Poor little Kristen can't handle it and I really feel sorry for her.
Excerpt:"It's insane! Once somebody finds out, you have to get the hell out of wherever you are," she says emphatically, attempting to convey the madness that has become her life. "People freak out. And the photographers, they're vicious. They're mean. They're like thugs. I don't even want to drive around by myself anymore. It's like fucking dangerous." Stewart, who turned 20 in April, has worked consistently for the past decade, often in independent films, but she admits Twilight frenzy has taken her by surprise. "Somebody knocked on my hotel room door and asked for a light, then said they were a big fan. I was like, 'Do you really need me to light your cigarette? How do you know what room I'm in?'" She mourns the loss of privacy. ("I can't be by myself, and I like being by myself," she says.) "Who wouldn't who has a soul?" says Jodie Foster, who starred with an 11-year-old Stewart in Panic Room. "It's very different time from when I was growing up. We didn't have those lenses that were 150 feet long, or maybe we had them, but there was still a real delineation between the public and the private." Most of the criticism directed at Stewart centers around her apparent lack of enthusiasm for the extracurricular aspects of the job: the posing, red-carpet walking, and enduring press junkets required of Hollywood actors today. "People say that I'm miserable all the time. It's not that I'm miserable," Stewart says, explaining her stone-faced red-carpet demeanor, "it's just that somebody's yelling at me...I literally, sometimes, have to keep myself from crying...It's a physical reaction to the energy that's thrown at you." http://twi-lounge.blogspot.com/2010/05/kristen-stewart-elle-scans-interview.htmlPS: I met Kristen once at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007 ("The Cake Eaters" world premiere) and she came across as really shy and reserved when I complimented on her performance. Ok, she was only 17. Maybe she's getting more used to it when she gets older.
