!!This actress contains examples of:
* ContractualPurity: See ''Film/{{Hounddog}}'' above.

** Also her role as Emily in ''HideAndSeek''.
** And as Jane in the ''Twilight'' series.
* [[HeReallyCanAct She Really Can Act]]: Not that anyone doubted her abilities before, but her performances in ''{{Push}}'' and ''Film/TheRunaways'' were praised for being more befitting of an adult actress and still making it work.
* ThoseTwoActors: She has been in four films with Creator/KristenStewart even as a love interest, though [[{{Literature/Twilight}} three of them]] are in the same continuity, so it may not count yet.

* ''Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' as Rachel.
