It's fair to say that since Kristen Stewart took the central role as Bella Swan in Twilight last year her world has changed dramatically.
While Twilight was a big success last autumn the hype surrounding the sequel New Moon, which is out this week, is much bigger than it's predecessor.
Stewart kicked off her acting career at the age of eight but it was her performance in Panic Room alongside Jodie Foster in 2002 that caught the attention of may.
Since then her career has steadily grown as she appeared in the likes of Zathura, Into The Wild and What Just Happened, starring alongside some of the biggest names in movies including Tim Robbins, Robert De Niro and Sean Penn.
But it was her 2008 role in the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's novel Twilight that shot her to superstardom.
She took on the central role of Bella Swan, a high school student who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson.
The story is told from the point of view of Bella as she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father.
The movie chronicled her growing relationship with Edward until a sadistic vampire decides to hunt her and her life is put in danger.
The movie received mixed reviews from the critics but it went on to be a box office success grossing over $379 million at the global box office.
She returns to the role of Bella this week with the release of New Moon and is left with a broken heart when Edward leaves her.
Enter Jacob Black, a member of the Quilite tribe who manages to bring some joy and meaning back into Bella's life. However as the two become closer, Bella discovers Jacob has a secret of his own.
As if that wasn't bad enough Bella can't seem to get the love of her life, Edward out of her mind.
Frenzy has surrounded this release for months and New Moon has become the biggest pre-release movie of all time with fans flocking to the box office to book their seat in cinemas in the opening days of the film's release.
Away from the Twilight Saga the young actress returned to the big screen earlier this summer with comedy-drama Adventureland, which was well met by the critics.
She also has Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways in the pipeline for next year. She will be under the Twilight Saga spotlight again next summer when Eclipse hits cinemas.
Filming has already been completed on the movie as David Slade takes over the role of director from Chris Weitz.
New Moon is released 20th November.
