Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence

Rolling Stone magazine has called her "the most talented young actress in America" and it is hard not to agree. Thanks to her role in the film Winter's Bone, Lawrence was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar at the age of 20 (the second youngest ever). And thanks to Hunger Games, the 22-year-old actres holds the record as the most successful action heroine of all time.
None of this came without effort. Determined to become an actress, Lawrence graduated from high school two years early, and persuaded her parents to take her to New York in search of an agent. Now one of the hottest actresses in america, she has the rare ability to move  between roles in serious dramas and in action films. Probably the only other actress who does that is Angelina Jolie, the actress Lawrence has just replaced as the star of a new historical drama, Serena, out in October 2013.
