Victoria from Twilight: one character and two actresses

This red beauty was remembered by many spectators. It was she, barefoot, cold and inhumanly beautiful, who hunted the main characters of "Twilight" in the first three parts of the saga. But this heroine is ambiguous. Victoria from "Twilight" was embodied by two different actresses. Why did this happen? Now we'll find out.

Briefly about the character

Victoria was born in 1984 in Orléans, France. She was a disobedient child, and her parents sent the poor thing out of sight-to a boarding house for girls. From there Victoria fled and together with a guy named Mark went to America.

Their life was not easy. Young people huddled in a dilapidated abandoned house and traded with small theft. Once Mark did not come to be a lady. He was not long enough, and when the young man returned, he attacked Victoria.

The girl became a vampire and joined a handful of the same creatures in New York, but her tribesmen drove her out, as the convert was uncontrollable. Since that time, Victoria led a nomadic life until she met James, the love of her life and also the treacherous vampire-sniffer. Later, Laurent joined them.

Once this trio met the Cullen family and Bella, who was still a man. James at all costs decided to eat her blood, but Edward was able to protect his beloved and killed a bloodhound. Since then, the goal of Victoria's existence has become revenge and hunting for Bella and Edward. Now we find out who played Victoria in Twilight.

Rachelle Lefebvre

The first Victoria from "Twilight" was brilliantly played by this actress. We know her by roles in the series "Enchanted", "From 16 and older" and "Under the dome". Rachelle Lefevre was delighted with the role she received in the famous adaptation of the novel by Stephanie Meyer, and she was confidently succeeded by casting and a letter sent to the director of the picture. In it, she wrote that she imagines Victoria as the embodiment of pure evil. But at the same time the heroine saw her monstrously inventive and cat-like graceful. It was this description of Viktoria that the director liked very much, and he approved Lefevre for the role.

The very same actress admitted that before the shooting she was very worried. Rachelle Lefebvre reviewed a huge number of television shows and commercials on the Internet about large predatory cats, lions and tigers to learn their grace and vicious grin. And at it all turned out. The role of Victoria in "Twilight" was brilliantly embodied by her.

Many fans of the saga, by the way, say that after reading the book that's exactly what they imagined this heroine. Photo of Victoria from "Twilight", played by Lefebvre, is given in our article.

Dismissing Lefebvre

Why did it happen that the role of Victoria was decided to be given to another actress? After all, Lefevre coped with it in fact very well. Moreover, the actress only added fans after she embodied on the screens of the image of a fiery red-headed vampire.

So, during the filming of the third part of the Twilight saga, Rachelle Lefevre had to leave to take part in another project - the movie "According to Barney." Filming in this picture was supposed to take only 10 days, while the work on "Twilight" was planned for three months.

Representatives of the film company Summit decided that even a ten-day absence of the actress on the set could move the schedule. That's why they decided to replace it. Lefevre herself was very saddened by such a verdict of the company's heads. She did not even appear at the premiere of "New Moon", explaining this by the fact that for her it was hard psychologically.

So Victoria from "Twilight" "got" to another actress - Bryce Dallas Howard.

Bryce Dallas Howard

This girl played Kate Connor in the movie "Terminator: May the Savior Come." This is her role was not awarded the flattering reviews of fans and film critics. In addition, the viewer could see this actress in the films "The World of the Jurassic Period" and "Spiderman 3".

Bryce Dallas Howard got the role in "New Moon" because of her distant external similarity with Rachelle Lefevre. As the actress herself notes, Victoria from "Twilight" became for her a difficult character. She worked a lot on Rachelle Lefevre, she also managed to revive the image, to create the character of the heroine. In addition, many of the fans of the saga were dumbfounded by the leadership cast by Summit's leadership castling. To Bryce Dallas Howard, they were wary, and many are completely hostile.

But even this actress coped with the role. Photo of Victoria from "Twilight", played by Howard, is also given in the article, so that the spectator can appreciate the image of the heroine created by her.

Which of the girls looked like a red-headed vampire more organically, to solve to the viewer. And yet the image of Victoria turned out so bright and memorable in many ways thanks to the efforts of Rachelle Lefevre.
