I personally am happy for her, she really seems cool.
So I thought I'd dedicate a short blog-entry to her. =)
Jennifer Lawrence (or J. Lawr for short) grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. She acted in church plays and at 14 decided to pursue acting and persuaded her parents to get her a New York talent agent.
After little roles on TV Shows such as Company Town, Monk and Cold Case, she finally landed a starring role on The Bill Engvall show, playing the family counselor Bill Pearson's daughter Lauren Pearson. She won a Young Artist Award for Outstanding Young Performers in a TV Series before the show was cancelled in 2009.
Her first starring role in a movie was as Kim Basinger's daughter, who finds out about her affair with another man in The Burning Plain for which she won a Marcello Mastroianni Award.
Her other roles include Agnes in The Poker House, Tiff in Garden Party and Young Zoe in The Devil you Know, before she finally landed her breakthrough role as Ree Dolly in Winter's Bone.
The movie earned her an Academy Award Nomination as well as winning several others.
In the movie she portrays a 17 year old girl who lives in rural Ozarks, caring for her mentally-ill mother and younger siblings, when she finds out their property up as a bond for court appearance.
In Winter's Bone At the Academy Awards
This year we'll see her in upcoming film The Beaver co-starring Mell Gibson and Jodie Foster, a movie filmed in 2009 but postponed until 2011 due to the controversy surrounding Mel Gibson.
Also she'll be in Like Crazy and will play Mystique in the X-Men prequel X-Men: First Class, as well as having recently been cast in the highly sought after role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, beating out fellow Oscar nominee Hailee Seinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Sairose Ronan.

Jennifer stated that she has never taken acting classes and relies on instinct when acting. She currently resides in Santa Monica, California and I personally think she has a great career ahead of her.
What do you think? Are you as inspired as I am of the up and coming actress?

Have a nice day!
