Café Society” is the first role since “Twilight” for which Stewart had to audition. She thought she’d botched her cold read, because the part is a stretch. “I have a sort of heavy energy, and she’s truly the opposite of that,” Stewart says, referring to the character she portrays on screen. The movie, set in the 1930s, focuses on two men — a Hollywood agent (Steve Carell) and his nephew (Jesse Eisenberg) — who compete for the affections of a beautiful office secretary (Stewart).
Allen wasn’t interested in coddling his star. In fact, he mocked the way she carried herself between takes. “I told her she walked like a relief pitcher coming in from the bullpen,” Allen says. But on camera, Stewart nailed the lightness of her character, and projects a winning vulnerability. “If this was 1944 or 1935, she would have been one of those drop-dead-beautiful movie stars,” says Allen, who skipped “Twilight,” instead discovering Stewart in the 2009 indie “Adventureland.” “She would have been in the pantheon of classic actresses like Rita Hayworth or Elizabeth Taylor.”
