    How is she getting paid that much for one facial expression. I don't see why she's so popular when she has no obvious talent.

    She's not overly pretty. Not good in any roles other than angsty teenager who doesn't need much emotion, can't act...hmm...

    The all earn their paycheck. I was forced to make a selection so I could comment. Show business salary is based on what you can get not any published pay scale. It's far beyond what most people make but then most people couldn't do the work. Every show may be their last one so they make money while they can do it.

    They are all over paid! Where is the outrage from the democratic party. CEO's get critizised all the time for getting paid allot of money. Actors never do. Even if the movie sucks. The president takes all their money but will critisize the Wall Street people but he won't critisize the Liberal Holly Wood.left wing nuts. Actors need to give back all their money and do their fair share.

    i can't tell if she's talentless, or someone just paralysed her face...
    Either way, she'd a bad actor.
    (Well, not bad, but not the best.)

    She's pretty and all, but her acting isn't the best, to say the least. I found her acting to be a little too stoic and completely unemotional/

    Sorry but the girl can't act. She was awful in Snow White & The Huntsman. The teenage angst that she had in Twilight didn't carry over to well in Snow White. If that is all she has I think she needs acting classes.

    Really? Pay the most for this stunt double for a cardboard cut out of a heroine addict? Wow, I am not really surprised, but it does make me want to go down to the Junior High and give every teenage girl and boy running clothesline facepalms..........

    I think she's overrated but I loved her in the burning plain and monster.
    The year Kristen Stewart was noted for making bank in film she worked on one project after the next all year. She may have made more than other stars but shed played her cards right. She was the big thing in film (probably will be again) and was smart enough to go from project to project while the iron was hot. Supply and demand, Twilight made alot of money. People wanted a piece of the pie.

    It wouldn't matter if every other actor in this list was being paid 7 times the amount she is, she will always be the most overpaid. She really does have only one expression.

    definately.
    those twilight movies sucked. The series made money from fan girls who have no idea what good acting is. Stewart did a barely competent job of acting in those movies.
    I can't believe I watched the first 2 movies.
    who the hell falls in love with an obviously gay vampire and a shirtless werewolf with cut offs? CUTOFFs
    I give her acting a solid "C"
