Super Stars: A look back at our most famous Young Hollywood alums.

Planning our annual Young Hollywood issue goes something like this:

The entire staff crashes on Marvin Scott Jarrett's two big couches, each with a list of emerging actors they think are amazing.  We share, we debate, we shriek "I'm so obsessed with her!"... then Marvin and Luke Crisell begin crafting a list of Young Hollywood contenders.

It's a fun and chaotic process, but apparently it works pretty well - past YH alums have gone onto score Oscar nominations, Tony Awards, fashion campaigns, and box office gold.

With our fifth Young Hollywood issue officially launching tomorrow, we've pulled some of our favorite photos from the past five years - a retrospective, if you will, of our favorite Hollywood hotshots as young men and women.

Kristen Stewart in 2006.  She was fifteen years old and fresh off the movie Fierce People, where she held her own against Diane Lane.  Into the Wild soon followed, then a vampire novel turned her life upside-down.
