In 2016, Jennifer Lawrence continued to hold the top spot on the list of highest-paid actresses with a huge amount of money: $ 46 million. Not any other prestigious or veteran name, but it is this 9X beauty who continuously achieves success in both the number of film awards and the revenue of the films she participates in. Why do the producers favor her so much? Perhaps it is thanks to Jen’s relentless efforts to express herself throughout the years.
Jennifer as a child was a healthy and personality girl, even being “forbidden” by her teacher to play with other girls because she was too… rude. She was on the cheerleading team, playing field hockey and even softball. Not only that, Jennifer also studied “extremely” when graduating from high school in just 2 years with an almost perfect GPA: 3.9/4.0.
Jen always thought she was going to be a doctor when she grew up. She used to model and perform in the community stage but never dreamed of becoming an actress. The turning point occurred on spring break at the age of 14, when she and her family traveled to New York. A talent scout asked to take a picture of her and Jennifer’s mother’s phone number. The next day, they called back asking if Jennifer could come to a rehearsal. This is also the time when Jen realized her potential and passion for acting, so she decided to pursue it seriously.
When her family moved to Los Angeles, this is also where Jen had her first roles in her career with mini series such as Monk, Medium, Cold Case … before receiving the lead role in TBS’s The Bill Engvall Show series. . At the same time, she also tried her hand at independent films such as The Poker House and The Burning Plain.

Regardless of Jennifer’s efforts, this excellent role brought her the first Oscar nomination in her career, marking the moment when Jennifer’s name began to shine in Hollywood.

Impressive role in The Hunger Games
In 2012, Jennifer Lawrence once again gained attention with the lead role of Katniss Everdeen in the film The Hunger Games, adapted from the novel by Suzanne Collins. This is a big project that Jennifer has to consider a lot before accepting, because she fears it will affect her career.

However, the success of both quality and revenue of The Hunger Games has brought Jennifer Lawrence to the highest podium. The episode achieved the third highest grossing opening in history and Katniss became the typical “heroine” image of the new era. This is also the only film with a female action star in the top 200 highest-grossing films of all time.
