Lawrence spent the whole summer in New York doing commercials for big brands like MTV and Burger King. She soon got bigger roles, but her parents wanted her to graduate high school before entering the work life and because of her intelligence she was able to graduate two years early.
"I never considered that I wouldn’t be successful. I never thought, ‘If acting doesn’t work out I can be a doctor.’ The phrase ‘If it doesn’t work out’ never popped into my mind. And that dumb determination of being a naive 14-year-old has never left me,” she says in an interview with Hello Magazine.
Lawrence´s role in Winter's Bone 2010 is considered to be her breakthrough. She won a Golden Globe award and an Oscar nomination for her performance. Three years later she striked again and got an Academy Award for playing Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook.
Lawrence has never had any formal acting training. Instead, she uses her ‘imagination’ to play all of her different characters.
Year 2012, she played Katniss Everdeen which is the the lead in The Hunger Games, originally a written trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
