The 'Twilight Saga' beauty is included on the list because she is said to be 'tough-minded, no-frills anomaly' and her choice of movie roles has been 'edgy trajectory'.

"Twilight Saga" beauty Kristen Stewart has made her way onto one interesting list. The rumored girlfriend of Robert Pattinson has been named among Vanity Fair's New Hollywood 2010. She is featured on the front cover of the publication's March issue along with other young talented actresses who have made the list as well.

Explaining why Stewart is chosen among the few, writer Evgenia Peretz stated that the 19-year-old actress "is the tough-minded, no-frills anomaly". The writer added that in the "Twilight Saga" series, the actress portrays Bella Swan "not as a cartoon but as anxious and complicated, making the predicament of being torn between a vampire and a werewolf seem...well, almost plausible."

"The daughter of a television-producer father and an Australian script-supervisor mother, the L.A.-bred Stewart has been consistently drawn to melancholy over flash," Peretz further explained. "Her edgy trajectory will continue with 'Welcome to the Rileys', about the friendship between a stripper and a married businessman, played by James Gandolfini, and 'The Runaways', about rocker Joan Jett."

Kristen Stewart is among the nine young talented actresses chosen for the list. Joining the "Adventureland" beauty are Abbie Cornish, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Rebecca Hall, Mia Wasikowska, Emma Stone, Evan Rachel Wood and Anna Kendrick.
