Stewart was born in Los Angeles, California on April 9, 1990. Her father, John Stewart, is a stage manager and television producer, while her Australian mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is a script supervisor and filmmaker.
Jules was adopted by a Jewish couple in California, Norma, and Ben Urman, in 1953; a DNA test showed that one of Kristen’s biological maternal grandparents was Ashkenazi Jewish.
Stewart has an older brother, Cameron B. Stewart, and two adopted brothers, Dana and Taylor. In 2012, her mother filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage.
Stewart grew up in the San Fernando Valley. She attended local schools until the seventh grade, and as she became more involved in acting, she continue her education by distance until graduating from high school. Since she was raised in a family who work in the entertainment industry as non-actors, Stewart thought she would become a screenwriter or a director, but never considered being an actor.
She has received various accolades, including a British Academy Film Award and a Cesar Award, in addition to nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award.
