Happy 22nd Birthday, Kristen Stewart!

It's Kristen Stewart's birthday on this 9th of April - her 22nd!

The Los Angeles native racked up an impressive number of film and TV credits even before 2008, when the Twilight saga launched her to mega-stardom.

She's come a long way since those brooding, awkward days.

Okay ... maybe not. She's still brooding and awkward, but that's why we love her, and she does crack a smile occasionally. When she does, it's all the more beautiful!

With Breaking Dawn set to end the saga this year, she has a long, bright future ahead of her ... and Robert Pattinson as a boyfriend. Could be worse.
