She's my perfect Bella Swan.

I really don't like Kirsten Stewart as Bella Swan from Twilight, she just has an odd way of expressing herself and I think she's a better ornament than an actress. Plus I know she's actually 4 years younger than Olivia, but for some reason ever since I saw The Secret Olivia WAS my Bella in my head, something about her eyes and self-awareness and facial structure, the way she carries herself, plus the superficial stuff like dark hair, brown eyes, clear pale skin. Anyone else who is a fan of hers think she would have been/ would be (if Kirsten doesn't decide to finish the series) a great Bella?

I actually just watched that movie tonight. And I completely agree. She matches the image of Bella in my head before I even saw any of the previews for Twilight. I also think that Robert Pattinson was horrible as Edward. Not sure who would have been better. Probably an unknown though.

Omg me too!!!

I just came here to say just that :]

She's a perfect Bella Swan..the separated brown eyes, lips, dark brown and pale skin. Plus shes such a natural actress,and she's Bella height. She could have definitely brought something different for Bella. I like Kristen but she gave us an awkward Bella, and I know that Olivia could have brought a really natural, cute, and clumsy Bella. Some one with more character.

And if I were director of Twilight I would have hand picked her myself lol

My wife told me that Twilight thing too about Olivia but I thought she is too tough chick looking, like she kicks ass, no need for Edward's help.

I just got done watching the movie The Secret. Then entire time I was watching it all I could think was OMG, this chick should have been Bella! I do not like Kristen Stewart for the part at all and think that Olivia would have been the perfect choice. She looks exactly like the Bella I pictured in my head when I read all the books. I just read them again after the movie came out and I just could not picture Bella in my head as she was in the movie. She was soooooo way far off from the character in the books. If I were the director I would kick her to the curb (no offense to Kristen...Olivia just fits the part better) and try to get Olivia. I wonder if she was considered for the part? In my mind Bella will always look like Olivia.

I think she would be so much better than Kristen Stewart. My own vision of Bella though is Amber Rose Tamblyn. :D

Chris Marquette and Amber Tamblyn are the only Edward Cullen and Bella Swan to me!

When I saw The Secret I thought the same thing!
