Jennifer Lawrence

timeline

born 1990

Jennifer Lawrence was still looking for her strong suit when a talent agent spotted the Kentucky teen on vacation in NYC's Union Square. After her first cold read, she knew she'd found her purpose. The young natural quickly graduated from tv ads to tv shows to the silver screen. By 22, she had a Best-Actress Oscar under her belt. And, snagged one of the most sought-after roles to date ~ the gutsy girl-hero Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games franchise.

Playing The Girl on Fire catapulted "J-Law" to a global super-celeb + role model. Her refreshingly down-to-earth attitude toward stardom and everygirl demeanor appeals to more than millennials. As she puts it ~ "Why would I ever get cocky? I'm not saving anybody's life. I'm making movies."
