Welcome to the 75th installment of “The Many Faces of…”!
Jennifer Lawrence was born August 5, 1990 in Louisville, Kentucky. She started acting in a local theater, never having followed acting lessons. She wanted to pursue a career in acting and finished high school two years earlier to be able to do it. Her first work was in TV shows starting in 2006 and had her breakthrough in Winter’s Bone. She has since acted in The Beaver, The Hunger Games, XMen: First Class and her Oscar winning performance in Silver Linings Playbook.
What’s your favorite Jennifer Lawrence performance?
Firstly, I haven’t seen Silver Linings Playbook yet, so maybe my mind will be changed after seeing that. Personally, I don’t see the huge deal with Jennifer Lawrence. She was great in Winter’s Bone, but aside from that, I can’t say I’ve been wowed by any of her other performances. They seem pretty good, but nothing amazing. I’m open to changing my mind though!
I suggest you check that movie out Jaina, I thought she was excellent in that.
I knew she was going to be big when I saw Winter’s Bone!
She was wonderful as Katniss in The Hunger Games, but her best performance so far, I think, is Silver Linings Playbook.
Yeah, she was very good in that and she still got a long career ahead of her.
Definitely Winter’s Bone! 🙂
A very understandable choice 🙂
She’s a great actress. In ‘Like Crazy’ she took a small role for her talent. I must admit she’s great in Hunger Games and of course Silver Linings.
Have not seen her in that, but I did like her in both the other movies you mention.
Either SLP or Winter’s Bone.
I agree!
Winter’s Bone is her best film. I fell in love with her since.
I liked her performance in it as well
While she was terrific in Silver Linings Playbook, I still have to go with Winter’s Bone as her best.
Personally I prefer SLP, but I understand your choice Eric!
Loved SLP, thought she was amazing in that and well worth her Oscar. I’ve not seen Winter’s Bone but everything else i’ve seen her in she’s been pretty decent.
You should check it out, it’s a pretty good movie and she impressed me with it.
Silver Linings Playbook, but her career is just beginning. This will change soon and often I believe.
Yeah Mark, I think you are right about that.
Love her. I think my fave role of hers is Silver Linings Playbook, but I like her spunk as Mystique too.
I didn’t pay much attention who played Mystique and when I made this I was surprised to find out it was her.
I didn’t even l know she played Mystique. Wow!
Loved her in Silver Linings Playbbok. Must check out this Winter’s Bone everyone’s talking about.
I didn’t know either! 🙂 Although I didn’t love Winter’s Bone, it is a solid movie with a great performance by her.
