Jennifer Lawrence’s career is kind of the platonic ideal for most actors.
I first knew her as the hot daughter on the Bill Engvall Show on TBS. But her journey through Hollywood is perfect mixture of talent, good attitude and luck. In 2009 she was no-name actress like on a basic cable sitcom, by 2010 she was an Oscar nominated actress in Winter’s Bone, two years later she was got cast in the Hunger Games, then X-Men and the rest is history.
She’s been in smalltime indie darlings and in blockbuster, worldwide hits. She’s been nominated for numerous acting awards and won an academy award. She’s got nothing to prove anymore and all before the age of 40. She’s the rare example — the .01% — of a woman trying to balance having children, a relationship and a career and succeeding wildly.
