Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, born in Chicago, Illinois June 20, 1901.
His adoptive father, Carlisle Cullen, transformed him into a vampire in 1918 to prevent him from dying of Spanish influenza during epidemic in Chicago, Illinois. Carlisle instilled in him a sense of morality uncommon in most vampires, and central to his way of life is the refusal to consider humans as food.
Edward meets Bella Swan in 2003, a human girl whose thoughts he is unable to read, and whose blood smells overwhelmingly sweet to him. He fights a growing attraction to her, but after saving her life on several occasions, he succumbs and eventually falls in love with her. Edward admits to Bella that he is a vampire, and that although he retains the physical body of a seventeen-year-old, he is actually around a century old. However, Edward constantly warns Bella against being with him, perceiving her life to be at risk if she continues to associate with him. Bella's love and confidence in Edward's restraint cause her to ignore his warnings, even after she another vampire, James, targets her as his next victim. Unlike the Cullen family, who are "vegetarian" vampires (committed to only feeding on animals), James feeds on humans and will not stop until he drinks Bella's blood. With his family's help, Edward is able to save Bella from James' predations, but how to assure Bella's continued safety remains an open question.
In New Moon, Edward's fears for Bella's safety intensify when she cuts her finger and is almost attacked by his brother, Jasper. In an attempt to protect her, he convinces her that he no longer loves her, and moves away with his family, leaving Bella heartbroken. Edward finds it difficult to live without Bella, and becomes severely depressed at the prospect of an infinitely long and meaningless life. After he mistakenly learns that Bella committed suicide, Edward attempts to convince a group of Italian vampires, the Volturi, to kill him. Together with his sister Alice, Bella rushes to Italy and stops Edward before the Volturi can destroy him. Edward explains why he left, and apologizes to Bella. She eventually forgives him, and they continue with their relationship as though Edward had never left, with the exception that Bella has developed ties that cannot be broken with a werewolf named Jacob Black. Bella successfully seeks the support of Edward's family on turning her into a vampire. While Edward is furious at the prospect, he later agrees to change her himself if she agrees to marry him first.
Like all the vampires in the Twilight series, Edward is described by Bella as being impossibly beautiful. At various points in the series, she compares him to the mythical Greek god Adonis. His skin is "like marble," very pale, ice cold, and sparkles in the sunlight. She describes his facial features as being perfect and angular, with high cheekbones, strong jawline, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair, which is always messy, retains the unusual bronze shade that he inherited in his human life from his biological mother. His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz. His appearance changes if he goes long without feeding: his eyes darken, becoming almost black, and purple bruises appear beneath his eyes. Edward is 6'2", and has a slender but muscular body.

Method acting? Vampire-playing Robert Pattinson admits he sometimes slips into character when he's out with the ladies.
"I've been known for a little nibble," he told reporters at the London premiere of his film Twilight.
Mr. Pattinson's co-star, meanwhile, shared one of his less-successful efforts to impress the opposite sex. "He tried to pick me up ... and he pulled his groin," said Kristen Stewart, 18. "It was hilarious! He was hurt, but he was laughing."

Bella: How old have you been 17?
Edward: A while.
Bella: How long is a while?
Yesterday when I started re-reading twilight i noticed that Bella asks Edward that questiion when she goes out to dinner with him...
But in the first trailer she says it to him in the woods.
Right now i am worried that the movie isn't going to be as good as the book. If you compare the trailer to the book i bet you will find much more of messed up scenes.
Please leave me acomment on what you think about this.... because I am kind of pissed that Stephanie would allow the director to change everything...
Well you know maybe im speaking to soon with out seeing the movie....but thats what I think.
Edward: A while.

A lot of people just go to the comment section to advertise. They don't care what the article says-they just pick the one with the most viewers so they will get attention. Like the girl who wrote Twilight Fansites. By cherry6chick. She wants more viewers so she goes to articles and puts:hey-you guys like twilight? well check out this sight:www.freewebs.com/twilighttrailer. Tell your friends!:) I thought it was a good idea because it got me to go to it so i started advertising on my first article called Who Is Better? on page 7 on What's Hot. All of a sudden i started to get all these comments telling everybody who the liked better. I told everybody there you can choose. Every month Ill anounce the winner for that month. Anyways...on this sight you can put an article and/or sight that you think is worth reading!

Hey ladies! Ok, I wrote this the other day while I was at work. I had my head down on the desk, sat up, wrote it, and put my head back down. lol I ask that you don't use it without my permission, as it is my original work. But here is a little poem I wrote, that I thought you Twilight obsessed fans might like. I kind of pictured Edward after I wrote it and reread it. There are lots of people (including people who you might be dating right now) that this can apply to. Enjoy and tell me what you think!
Young girls think of love and picture a prince.
Women, who have loved and been hurt see not a prince but the truth.
Just a man, imperfect and unsure.
But it's those memories of Prince Charming that make them keep loving, even without hope.
