The journey of a child star can be a perilous one.
But how did she get from there to here?
So how did she come to be known by the nickname Fivel?
“So she started calling me Fivel.”
“But I should see it someday.”
Despite her father’s occupation, she was raised far outside of Tinseltown.
“He would stunt coordinate films, so I would just go with him and assist him.
To this day, that’s still one of my favorite things to do.”
“I was positive I was going to be fine,” she recalled.
I immediately turned to my dad, cried, and then fell into his arms.
I knew he had me.
And I knew I’d be safe.
The second take came around, and we nailed it."
She and her brother portrayed ghostly siblings who had suffered a horrific death decades earlier.
That led to a role in “The O.C.”
In the hit teen drama, Stewart played a young girl, and she also nabbed other TV roles.
In My Allowance, Fivel teamed up with two other young girls to form a pop trio.
That was a heady time for the future film and TV star.
“I think performing on stage is the most exciting thing you could ever do.”
According to Booboo, their shows were intended to provide maximum enjoyment for fans.
“Music falls very close to my heart…” she toldPermanent Rain Press.
The show proved to be a hit with viewers and critics alike, and Stewart’s star rose accordingly.
For her next big project, she’d be taking on a starring role.
Reviews for the film were all over the map, with some praising the film’s sensitivity and sweetness.
Even those reviews that slammed the film, however, celebrated Stewart’s skill as an actor.
“I’ve never felt anything like it before; it was just really powerful,” Stewart said.
“I felt like we could’ve just filmed the whole thing right then and there.
We were so ready.
As soon as Sandra and I read together, it was like, ‘Oh, this works.
This feels so good.’
I haven’t really had that connection before with someone who would be playing my mother.”
I would say this is like my first actual ‘film’.
And, I mean, it feels so good," she told&Asian.
“You don’t expect the things to unravel, that unraveled,” she said.
“But I saw Noah’s name, and I was like, ‘Oh, how fun.
I haven’t seen him in such a long time.’
The show proved to be a hit, and returned with a second season in 2024.
“You see her go through a really tough time,” she added.
“My storyline is a lot different than what the show is actually about.
And that’s what I really love about the show that you wouldn’t expect it.”
“Maybe I want to do every genre,” she mused when interviewed forW Magazine.
“I’ve never really looked at [my career] like that.
‘Alert’ is more of a procedural, which I never imagined myself doing.
‘Atypical’ was more heartfelt.
‘Umma’ was a horror.
‘Roar’ was adventure.
And ‘The Recruit’ is spy.”
