Kendrick played the supporting role of Jessica in every Twilight film. While she says she gets recognized a lot for being in the vampire movies lately, she shared why she feels like a “bystander” to the phenomenon, telling Business Insider:

Anna Kendrick talks her directorial debut, "Woman of the Hour," recalls her "Twilight" days, and teases the sequel to "A Simple Favor."

Kendrick portrayed Jessica Stanley in the Twilight saga, appearing in three out of four films: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn: Part One. In the movie adaptation, Stanley is a friend of Bella Swan’s ( Kristen Stewart) at Forks High School, where Bella meets Edward Cullen ( Robert Pattinson) and his vampire siblings.
