Jennifer Lawrence | Monk

Jennifer Lawrence is undeniably one of the most talented actresses in the entertainment industry. She was only 22 when she bagged the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 2012 Silver Linings Playbook, making her the second-youngest winner of the award. In 2013, she was included in Time’s list of 100 most influential people and the 2014 Forbes Celebrity 100 list.

How did she start acting, you ask? Well, she was on a family vacation in New York City when a talent scout spotted her and arranged for an audition. After her first audition, the talent agents were so impressed with her acting skills to the degree that they immediately signed her on with the CESD Talent Agency, and interestingly enough, she was only 14 at the time. Not long after, she debuted in the 2006 TV series Monk and later went on to star in her biggest breakthrough, The Hunger Games.
