Jennifer Proske is playing the character that spoofs Bella and Kristen Stewart in the movie Vampires Suck. Reelz Channel talked with the new to the industry actress.
A relative newcomer to Hollywood, Jenn Proske has started her career off with a bang, playing “Becca Crane” in the new Twilight Saga parody Vampires Suck. The 23-year-old Boston University graduate beat out hundreds of other actresses vying for the caricature of Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart), who has become a recognizable face among fans of Stephenie Meyer’s worldwide phenomenon. We recently talked with Proske about her love of Twilight, fan reactions to the Vampires Suck parody, and how she managed to channel Stewart’s famous portrayal.
