Jennifer Lawrence, Eighth Grade at Kammerer Middle School in Louisville, Kentucky (2005), and Jennifer Lawrence Today
The young Jennifer Lawrence is a lot more smiley than her on-screen persona of
Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, but she certainly assured fans this year that she was the perfect actress for the beloved part. Acting since she was 14, Lawrence graduated high school two years early to go professional and earned her first Academy Award nomination by age 20 for
Winter’s Bone. The MTV Movie Awards are Katniss and
American Hustlescrazy this year, showering Lawrence with four nominations, for Best Female Performance, Best Kiss, Best Fight, and Best Musical Moment.
