[edit] Career

Stewart in
Panic Room, 2002
Stewart had a minor role in the 1999
made-for-television film,
The Thirteenth Year, and subsequently appeared in the
independent film,
The Safety of Objects where she played the tomboy daughter of a troubled single mother (
Patricia Clarkson). Stewart had a role in the major
Hollywood film,

After
Panic Room's success, Stewart was cast in another thriller,
Cold Creek Manor, playing the daughter of
Dennis Quaid and
Sharon Stone's characters; the film generally failed at the box office. Her first starring role followed, in the children's action-comedy
Catch That Kid, opposite
Max Thieriot and
Corbin Bleu. To date, Stewart’s most critically acclaimed role may be in the television film,
Speak (2004). Stewart, thirteen at the time of filming, played a high school freshman who is raped and has to deal with emotional turmoil. Stewart has received great praise for playing the character, who had only a few speaking lines.
More recently, Stewart appeared in the fantasy-adventure film,
Zathura, which was released in November 2005, and the main role
The Messengers, a suspense-thriller about a haunted house, released in February 2007, which generally received poor reviews. She will star in an upcoming film titled
