Kristen Stewart at the 2012 Governors Awards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood, California Dec. 1, 2012.
In the end, appearing in the final installment of the Twilight film franchise was probably the least interesting thing Stewart did this year. In 2012 she was named the highest-paid actress in Hollywood by Forbes magazine, with estimated income of $34.5 million. This summer she also snagged the starring role in the fairy-tale action film Snow White and the Huntsman — and then made headlines when a dalliance with the film’s director, Rupert Sanders, threatened to end her long-running romance with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob,” Stewart overshared in her July 25 public apology. “I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.” The beautiful yet exceedingly pale couple were reunited in time for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, which made more than $750 million worldwide.
