Jennifer Lawrence (Burning Bright)

Jennifer Lawrence is arguably Tinseltown's hottest actress. As deft playing an action heroine (The Hunger Games, X-Men: First Class) as she is in serious drama (Winter's Bone, Silver Linings Playbook), the actress has already demonstrated extraordinary talent. Poised for an Oscar at just 22 years of age, she seems to have Hollywood in the palm of her hand. This book charts the star's meteoric rise to fame, starting with her background and tracing her acting career—her early television work, her breakout role as Ree Dolly in Winter's Bone, and her transition into a bona fide A-lister, anchoring two tent-pole action franchises. It provides a window into Lawrence's private life, gathering the candid star's most revealing statements, and takes a look at what fans can expect next from Jennifer. Peppered with sidebars, including "Personality Assessments" of Lawrence's on-screen characters and interactive quizzes and games, this book will appeal to every young "tribute" among the legion of Hunger Games fans and Lawrence devotees everywhere.
