After a slow start – her father says he almost made her come home, several times – she started getting TV roles. Then while she was home last Christmas, Ashley learned she had landed her star-making turn in Twilight.

“That was a good Christmas,” Michele Greene says.

As Alice, Ashley Greene wears a short wig, contacts and makeup that gives her a vampirish pallor. “But I was pretty much that pale. I stayed out of the sun for a couple of months, then they put sunscreen on us, and then I was in Portland (Ore.). I didn’t get any sun for six months.”

The transformation worked, at least in the opinion of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, who told the Los Angeles Times that when she saw a picture of Greene, she thought: “You found Alice! Oh my gosh.”

I completely agree with Stephenie. ;) Check out the complete article here and Ashley’s adorable yearbook picture here.
