Casting Bella in 'Twilight' - 4 Actresses Who Competed With Kristen Stewart (1 was 'Glad' Not to Get the Part)

The role of Bella Swan was one of the hottest in Hollywood when it came time to cast the Twilight franchise. Everyone wanted to play her, and a lot of stars auditioned for the chance.

Of course, the role (one of the biggest in Hollywood in recent memory) ultimately went to Kristen Stewart, but she faced stiff competition.

It’s been more than a decade since the 34-year-old star last shared the screen with the likes of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson in the massively popular young adult series.
