Mini Bio:
Jennifer Lawrence was born in Louisville, Kentucky. She has 2 older
brothers, Ben and Blaine, sister-in-law Meredith, and her parents are
Gary and Karen Lawrence.
Jennifer, known to her friends and family as "Jen", was discovered in
New York City at the age of 14. Before Jennifer became an actor, she was
involved in cheer-leading, field hockey, softball, and modeling, none
of which she held a passion for.
In the spring of 2004, she traveled to New York City and set up a few auditions with talent and modeling agencies. After conducting her first cold read, the agents told her mother that "it was the best cold read by a 14- year-old they had ever heard", and tried to convince her mother that she needed to spend the summer in Manhattan. After leaving the agency, Jen was spotted by an agent in the midst of shooting an H&M ad and asked to take her picture. The next day, that agent followed up with her and invited her to the studio for a cold read audition. Again, the agents were highly impressed and strongly urged her mother to allow her to spend the summer in New York City.
As fate would have it, she did spend that summer in New York City and appeared in commercials such as MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" and played a role in the movie, The Devil You Know (2013). Shortly thereafter, her career forced her and her family to move to Los Angeles where she was cast in the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show (2007) and movies such as The Poker House (2008) and The Burning Plain (2008).
Perhaps her most well-known work to date is her role as "Katniss Everdeen" in The Hunger Games (2012).

When I first got to New York, my feet hit the sidewalk and you'd have
thought I was born and raised there. I took over that town. None of my
friends took me seriously. I came home and announced, 'I'm going to move
to New York,' and they were like 'OK.' Then when I did, they kept
waiting for me to fail and come back. But I knew I wouldn't. I was like,
'I'll show you.' --IMDb.com
I'm doing what I love, and then I get months and months of rest. I have a lot of money for a 21-year-old. I can't stand it when actors complain.--IMDb.com
