I think we all learned our lesson from that troublesome Twilight star.

Click ahead to see if this one — wait for it — delivers.
Penelope Cruz, who will be starring in yet another Woody Allen film , thanked the director during her 2009 Oscar acceptance speech for creating a number of great roles for women. She could’ve thanked him for creating great roles for a certain type of star: the thinking, compulsively relatable thespian who can balance with sophisticated ease with exasperation. Here are nine who deserve a spot in Woody Allen’s magnificent oeuvre.
